This weekend, after a UV hiatus, I started Scenario 17 (version 2.10) as the Allies versus the AI. All realism options were on, including variable reinforcements. It's now 7/25. I took a quick peek as the Japanese to confirm the numbers: Allied Losses ---------------- 36 x P-39D 35 x P-40E 31 x P-400 16 x Wirraway My top ten pilots (3 KIA) have 44 kills: 24 in P-39D, 8 in P-400, 7 in P40E, 5 in F4F (I've managed to avoid a major naval engagement). Japanese Lossses ----------------------- 174 x Zero 62 x Betty 37 x Nell The top ten Japanese pilots also have 44 kills, all attributed (of course) to the Zero except for one Rufe pilot with 3 kills! However, [B]all[/B] of the top 7 Japanese pilots were KIA/MIA. There are lots of other variables, but the P-39D certainly appears to be doing well -- more than holding its own against the Zero. And the Japanese are lossing their qualitative edge in a huge hurry. This is despite my previous experience (probably 1.4 based) that the AI would play very conservatively. Kurt P.S. - I noticed the reported aircraft losses were [I]identical[/I] as the Allies and Japanese. In other words, as the Allies, I saw the exact Japanese losses, and vice versa. Is that right?
