In WitP a pilot is a pilot. Only thing that really matters is experience. And with a few notable exceptions once a pilot is assigned, thats where he is. You arent putting P-40 pilots in B-25s flying off carriers as a movie would have you believe

When you check the pilot it displays fighter, bomber, transport and something else.
I was wondering if it matters what type of pilot should fly same type of group.

All leaders with high aggression (i think over 65) = fighter

(or somethink like that, I am not sure on that)

Yes she is.

The movie is still a travesty. And for some reason it seems to be running almost everyday on some channel here.

Status: offline 		It was so bad I tried walking out. My wife agreed it sucked, but insisted we stay because it was supposed to "have a really good ending." I then saw the Doolittle raid and Ben flying a Mitchell, and almost puked in my jujubees.

It was the Howard the Duck of war movies.

Status: offline 		Oh come on you curmudgeons; you tellin' me you found ZERO value in the computer-generated attack scenes? Those were pretty dramatic, and ain't no past flicks gonna compare on that basis. The battle scenes and special effects in Tora! Tora! Tora!, and Midway and any other 'better' movie about the era, quite frankly _suck_ by modern standards. Not only that, but characters and acting, and plots in most of the older movies of the war in the Pacific are also _highly_ cheesy, although I admit that this one took the Big Cheese award . . .

I will agree with you that a serious story, without so many extreme acts of 'artistic license,' the unrealistic concentration of heroism in the few main characters, the overuse of standard war-movie cliches, the excessive Rah! Rah! pro-America-rhetoric, etc., would have improved it tremendously. Indeed, its shortcomings in these areas make it an overall low-rater in my books. But if you skip these points of technical/political inaccuracy, and only focus on: (a) the cutesy inter-character dynamics (yes, even including the romances) which, if cheesy are no less unbelievable than any other cutesy inter-character dynamics in any other movie ever made about Americans during WWII; (b) the CGI battle stuff; and (c) hottie nurse, as well as just plain old (d) imagery of people, places and machines of the era provided with a high-budget modern cinematographic view--for what it is worth, then its not _so_ terrible, now is it? In effect, if you were to cut out the 75% of the movie that was bad, and focus on the 25% that was 'good,' couldn't you at least acknowledge that it had some merits?
