Training Command is simple. Do one of 2 things.

a. Nothing- This is the same as what you had in WitP

b. While perusing your operational units, note that some Pilots are Yellow in color. Which qualifies them to be an "instructor". Click that pilot and click "yes" when the dialogue asks if you want him to transfer to the Training Command. Give it a few days/weeks and he'll appear in you Reserve pool with the group assignment "Training Command". This means he is actively contributing to:

- 1. Pilot time to train. As in fully trained replacements will come slightly faster. Don't expect entire months to be shaved off the 12 month cirriculum.

- 2. Pilot Replacement EXP. This only occurs if Pilots are being pulled from training EARLY. This feature was intended to help IJ player with decaying pilot EXP, not so the allies can be more Uber in their pilot production. We only included it for our own sanity, so we wouldn't to listen to AFB crying foul.

1 occurs first. Then 2 takes effect when National Average EXP suffers from over-requesting replacements. Replacement EXP CANNOT be extended past Normal National Averages under any circumstances.

(Condenced) Yeah, this is the undocumented.
Pilot training only happens at the end of the month, taking affect on the first.
5 HI per pilot per month is used to maintain the pilot training pool.
Lack of HI will impact the number of pilots that can be moved through the monthly cycle. This represents planes and fuel for training purposes.

OPERATIONAL REPORT FOR Feb 28, 42

Accelerated training for 142 IJ Army pilots - StoneAge

Best to put experienced pilots in Training Command in groups of 10 - Unknown

quote:


There is some behind the scenes action with training of raw pilots and TRACOM.

The number of TRACOM guys can increase the month's EXP rating of the raw pilots.
If the new EXP exceeds the national EXP, then a random number of pilots will 'graduate' early.
When this happens, you get a message "instructors accelerate training of" in the operation report.

In general, this jump is only going to occur in the last month of training, unless you add a huge number of pilots to TRACOM.

A rough guide is: for every 10 in TRACOM (of the correct nationality), the monthly EXP might be increased by one.

Adjustments to the pilot training happens on the first day of the month.

The monthly EXP increase of the raw pilots (ignoring TRACOM effect) is a random amount (-2 to +2).

The new monthly EXP starts out as an average of the pilots in the month and those moving from the previous month.
