Commonwealth pilots?

[crsutton]

Device no. 1894 is the 1844 FAA squadron which arrives in the game on a British carrier. It is listed as "Commonwealth" unit and only has 14 pilots total. However a look at the pilot pools list no Commonwealth pilots and there are no replacements in the pools for these pilots.

Am I missing something here? Playing the a Q version of the beta.

That's correct. In the early versions of the game you could draw pilots into the unit even w/ no pilots in the pool but that did change in one of the betas. With that change, CW does start to recieve pilot replacements but forget offhand when they start. The French units that come in late war are also affected by the change as well but also pilot replacements were added for them but don't know when they start either offhand.

In scen 1 - it's '45 @ 20 (can check in the editor)

Still kinda late in the game for them to come in though. IIRC the FAA squadron comes in late 44 & all you get pilot wise is those to match a/c & you can't draw any till you have some graduate & none will graduate till 46. My game was started under origanl release & played well into 44 before I started w/ the betas so was able to draw pilots & then put a few into reserve. I think the better would be to have them at start at a low level say 5 pilots or start at it's current setting in 44
