Status: offline 		Interesting Chart's. Game wise 44 is imo not realy all that important, the Air war is largely over by then, since the game handels so porely the A to A model, and the net efefct is that by the Advent of the F4U in game it's all over no mater what type of plane you field as Japan.

42 would be more interesting, I posted some data from Dean, on the subject of servicable aircraft in the past in teh pacific in 42 and the numbers were quiet shocking, a large part of the total aircraft numbers present were so worn as to be considered unservicable, or so worn they neaded servicing before they could be returned to operational status. The game realy fails to represent this imo, for all sides, all nationalitys. Dean was particularlty interesting becuase he shows for all Allied fighter types in the Pacific theater in WW2 in 42 their was a general shortage of Aircraft, particularly fighters, something we dont realy feal game wise.

Recently while reading Blody SHambels they were talking about how the Humidity in the Area around sigapore was so bad it effected the redeness rate of their Brewsters, someting the game does not represent either, the direct efect of the tropics on the machines them slefs not just the men servicing them.

I agree Real numbers are neaded to start any base.

I wounder what they consider and "Efective combat sortie"? Does it define that?

I asume 'other" is a morale related factor, I read a unit report on B-26's operating out of Port Morsby in 42 and a signafagant number of sorties were aborted do to the crews say'ing screw it...

Alaska- Numbers are interesting, I read the Thousand Mile War soem time ago, and in it they said how they flew in all types of weather, nearly every day, yet in game this does not realy seam to hapen. Even Sorties by the Japanese were conducted in realy bad weather aganst Dutch Harbor, from their CV's.

OTHER is because there was no air HQ present and the inspiration of the unit commander was pretty low and...

I think it probably has more to do with the many ways military people always seem to find a way to "break" things that seem unbreakable. And there is also "just wearing out", getting lost, mechanical failure, etc. I read somewhere that a number of Betty Crews "got lost" on missions once they found out what a flaming deathtrap their A/C was. I don't think anecdotal stories are what is needed to explain "other" in this case.

I read that in the Aleutians they'd use a PV-1 with its surface search radar as a pathfinder for a flight of B-24s to raid targets in the Kuriles though I imagine if the target was actually in the soup too the bombing wasn't all that great, pathfinder or no.
