Status: offline 		I am having a problem with a lot of operational losses.

I usually ignore it since I have the pilots and planes to absorb it but I would still like to eliminate it as much as possible.

I have made sure that all my aircraft are in air bases controlled by their headquarters. What else am I missing?

Thanks

Status: offline 		I apologize if I'm asking an obvious question, but what is the fatigue and the morale of the squads that are suffering heavy losses? I notice significant overall losses on turns I'm not paying enough attention to the two.

Otherwise, what are the specifics of your situation? For instance, are specific groups suffering more operational losses? Is it across the board? Are you flying a lot of training missions?

few bits to watch. Low experience pilots are more likely to crash as are planes with high reliability scores. If you are playing the allies, some of your at start planes are real dogs such as the Stirling II - I'm often tempted to leave these in reserve till I can swap them to Halifax III or Lancasters.

I'm not sure that low morale causes operational losses as such but squadrons will low morale that get into combat will take operational losses as a consequence. With the allies, unless its really critical I tend to put low morale (by my definitions <60) onto reserve.

But, with the allies at start you will take some op losses simply due to flying night missions over enemy territory. This is from my last vs AI game and may give you some idea of the type of operational losses I was suffering:




on the axis side, at some stage in the second half of 1944 the Luftwaffe will start to fall apart and you need to use a lot of poorly trained pilots - expect your operational losses to go through the roof as a result
