in commander's report i select air and air groups
i select Mission Setting and then select something, for example rest
all planes that were selected still contain their old mission settings

It's working for me in both 1.02.25 and the 1.02.27 beta that will be going out soon. Anyone else having this problem?

It works for on map units
But does not work for units in Soviet and Axis reserve

1.02.25 no early end GC, even started new game
same result

The mission setting doesn't even show up in the CR screen for units in the reserve. I see that you can go to the unit detail screen and adjust it there, but I wonder if that is supposed to be possible. Does it even matter if you put the unit on rest in the reserve? Do they fly less training missions? It appears this has been this way since release, not sure if players are supposed to be able to turn off auto training.

According to loki, pilots do not perform training if set to rest. It means that if i have already pilots with exp that is equal to NM then why to even waste planes?

And having to click on each unit and set it to rest is driving me mad, honestly.
As a Soviet player it is enormous amount of clicking.

Well the good news is that pilots over NM, and I think even pilots over 50 experience don't train. So unless you really aren't willing to lose aircraft, you shouldn't be needing to set pilots to rest in the reserve. Experience is so important for a pilot, that losing a bunch of planes in training is not a big deal if it gets you better pilots. Maybe Roger knows something I don't know, but I think they aren't training if they can't get better (and when they are low they need to get better).

Fun fact. I recently read that for US carrier pilots in WWII that were killed, 33% died in training, 33% died due to a non-combat loss, and only 33% died due to a combat loss. Now being a carrier pilot is a very dangerous job, but those are some pretty tough odds.
