Filling Datai with pilots

Post by gladiatt »

I was wondering if there is a way to fill Datais (so, japanese side of course) with untrained pilots whyle keeping some good pilots in the pool ?
Or you can only use the trained pool until it's empty ?

Find nothing in the "must read thread" (but i've read the Mogami training method).

Any answer ?
Thanks in advance

Edit: forgot: stock; 1.806.

Nope - you can't skip the trained guys. You have to use them up first, then move on to the untrained (half-trained) ones.

With the IJN Pilot pool I have a 9 aircraft fighter unit that I always keep emptying out using the AK method. I then send groups of 4-6 aircraft out to the combat units as replacements, and keep topping off the 9 aircraft unit from the trained replacement pool. That way I have access at all times to the untrained pool for training and other units.

How can you make it exactly ? (not sure to understand).
My problem is: i have 50 pilots in the IJN pool. If i use the AK method (wich i've just read,so i should understand it a bit...), and send 4-6 AC to a unit, if i want to refill the unit of 9 planes, i will use trained pilots...not untrained...

Well, i'm sorry not to understand everything in the method (and in a foreign language sometimes make the understanding a bit more difficult....[:o] )

Do some searches in here for this topic. I know my opponent, Japan, has a very in depth method of training up pilots as quickly as possible. I've only played allies, so I don't pay much attention to it. I know there's a lot of threads on this, though.

I use up my IJN pilot pool first 2 weeks to fill-out my navy fighter units, and to refit KB airgroups after Pearl Harbour raid. I have found that you have to start training from the start, so you have to empty the pool as soon as possible to get the untrained Pilots out.

Thanks, it make sense for me now.
