Does UV take range into concideration when assigning casualties?

Minor damage during a 50 mile strike could easily become fatal at 300 miles. Also pilots defending friendly troops and ships had a much higher rate of survival than those attacking distant enemy bases.

Yes it does. My opperational losses are MUCH higher when flying long range missions out of Rabaul than when flying out of Lae.

DEFINATELY.

I can make a big difference.

Fatigue, long missions means high fatigue, which higher rate of operational losses (where a plane crashes, when it hasn't been damaged by flak or enemy CAP).

Additionally, the loss of damaged aircraft due on long missions goes up (considerably).

Long missions = high fatique, higher loss rates on damaged AC trying to limp home, and higher operational losses.

My brother and I are currently in an PBEM game. He's Japan, I'm USA. He's been running just about everything out of Rabul for the last month (not using Lae or smaller AFs to base escort fighters). At least according the the Intel Reports on AC losses, his attrition rates on his Zeros are horrendous.

Even tho the combat reports show about even losses DURING the battles, it's the flight home that is killing him. His losses outnumber mine by about 4 to 1.

Attrition is going to bite him big time in a couple of months...
