Repair bug/misunderstanding; Lazy Pilots; Messages?

Hi!

Well I got UV yesterday and played it "a little bit" the last 2 days.
There are some bugs/problems or misunterstandings:
1) 9 planes attack: 9 damaged and 1 destroyed (is this a failure or is plane, which was damaged and was then destroyed marked as dam/des?)
2) I had also the "Lazy pilot"-Problem, after all if it is no bug, could there be a message like: "squadron xy didn't attack etc. because the morale test failed, the fatigue is too low etc.?" or at least "sq says we don't fly!"
3) damaged ships: the Shokaku was heavily damaged (SYS: 95) well she made it to Rabaul (Port 8) ==> the flooding and fire were "repaired". Then I waited, but the SYS was still 95, then I thought well lets move her to Truk, well after watching her "cruising" with speed 1 to Truk I saw that SYS was now 94!??!?! And that was near Kavieng(spelling?) Is this a bug or???

1)it is normal if you played with FOW.Pilots always exagerate their performances and they can damage 9 times the same aircraft which is finally shot down. Check aircrafts losses at the end of every turn if you want to know the exact number of planes you have actually lost.

2)No messages are displayed informing you that your squadrons does not take off to perform their mission.

3)Don't forget that the crew can repair at sea;so in your case they reduce sys damage.

Thx
2) I think there should be a message and btw. why is there a message if a pilot ist credited with a kill? Especially 3 times in a combat? This slows down the game and I don't think this information is of any value (exception it is sometimes fine to have aces ;-)

3) well the crew and the harbor didn't managed to repair the SYS damage for about 1-3 weeks, well and then they sailed of and managed what they couldn't do in port?!?!??!

2)If you see 3 times in dogfight a message informing you that a pilot is credited with a kill, that means he has shot down 3 aircrafts.
If you want to speed up the game go to menu, then preferences and decrease the messages delay to 0.1.

3)CV and BB sys damage take a very long time to be repaired and it is random;so you don't know how long it will take just to restore 1 point and in your case the one point repair has been initiated in Rabaul port and finished at sea.
As your CV is heavily damage, I suggest you return her to Tokyo because even at Truk you will wait a very very long time...
