I am still not understanding how Traveled (%) is incremented.

I have 2 AC units, same AC type, same origin and destination Airbases, both start turn with 'Traveled (%) 0'.

But after both AC are re-based from Riga -> Pskov,

Stab/JG 54 - Traveled(%) 30
I./JG 54 - Traveled(%) 3

-----

I have another case, same situation, same turn, 2 AC (Ju 52/3m), both re-base from Koenigsberg -> Riga.

After both AC are re-based from Koenigsberg -> Riga

Stab/KG zbV 3 - Traveled(%) 75
KGr zbV 105 - Traveled(%) 9

------

The WiTE2 Range for the BF109F-2 is 463 miles.

The distance from Riga to Pskov is 16 hexes or 160 miles.

According the the manual "air transfer mission pay the range in miles".
(note, transport missions use x3 range in miles, combat missions use x4 range in miles)

Traveled (%) at this point should be 160 / 463 = 0.34557xxx or 34%.

hmmm.... must be some other, undocumented magic involved as neither Traveled (%) comes to 34%.

I don't get this Traveled anyways. Since one turn covers one full week, it's weird that a transfer that takes an hour to accomplish negates any further travel by the aircraft for 7 full days.

I hear ya!

How many aircraft start in the unit before the transfer, how many are damaged and destroyed during the transfer. I know these impact the miles flown formula, although I don't know the exact details.
