CV has 1 too many planes - 5/21/2018 4:50:12 PM

Status: offline 		I recently finished my CV airgroup resizing plan outlined in the Japan setup spreadsheet. I made an error along the way and one of the Kate airgroups has 1 airframe in reserve. I was able to get the unit loaded to the Ryujo which put the CV at 49 planes with 48 max. What will the effect of this be? Is there a way to send the extra airframe back into the pool or do I just need to wait for a plane to be destroyed? Will my carrier be able to launch any sorties with me being over?

You can have up to 10% more active aircraft on your carrier than the stated capacity without any big detrimental effect on your operations, and up to 15% before launch is stopped. But it does mean that if another carrier in your fleet gets knocked out of operation, you cannot take aboard in-flight planes from the airgroups of the damaged/sunk carrier.

If the one extra aircraft really bothers you just resize the squadron again. You need one turn to order the resize and another turn in port for it to take effect.

The one extra A/C will have no detrimental effects on your ops. If it bothers you, you should see some arrows at the bottom of the air group that'll allow you to return the 'reserve' back to the pool. You may have to be in port to see/do this, not sure as I've only done it with LBA so far.

THX Ranger; Interesting while i have always problem with chitose and chiyoda; noted that always when get a new CV i leave docked at the port that arrives there for days

My understanding as well. Between 10 and 15% you get increasing numbers of fragments in strikes. At or beyond 15% there is not enough deck left to launch anything.

no flight operations if more than 50 points of systems and flotation damage
only transfer missions allowed at greater than 115% of capacity (think of replenishment CVE groups, carrying LBA airgroups)
emergency landings will not exceed 110% of capacity
may never carry more than twice the capacity

The old WitP was 110% before stopping operations. AE is 115%.

Also note that Carrier Capable but not Carrier Trained will suffer a higher rate of operational losses. (7.01.1.1) The same section also notes that more more than five groups may not be on a carrier. I do not know for sure if breaking a squadron down counts as multiple groups but it may.

I recently finished my CV airgroup resizing plan outlined in the Japan setup spreadsheet. I made an error along the way and one of the Kate airgroups has 1 airframe in reserve. I was able to get the unit loaded to the Ryujo which put the CV at 49 planes with 48 max. What will the effect of this be? Is there a way to send the extra airframe back into the pool or do I just need to wait for a plane to be destroyed? Will my carrier be able to launch any sorties with me being over?


Extra planes?

Played a friend in a face-to-face Coral Sea scenario and he had multiple groups on-board (over 5) due to recovery efforts and that carrier still carried on air ops. Was probably within the parameters stated above.

Fragments (from emergency landings and such) may count against the limit; I'm not sure.

It's also possible that simply the "first five" (contrast with the Final Five) would fly operations.

This I doubt, but I've no experience in the matter. TBH the comments I made above about the five group limit were to show my friend how the game worked, as we were actually looking at each others' moves more or less. It was a learning game for him. I was surprised when the carrier operated its aircraft, and told him it must be in relation to the fragments. One thing for sure is that the carrier had more than five units or parts thereof on board. Oh, and to clarify a bit it was well under its maximum capacity for carrying planes.

Maybe once you have six different units, no matter the number of aircraft, flying ops cease because the pilots are fighting over the bunk space and magazines to read in the heads ...

This is the air compliment this CV enters with (not B25s).
Between 110% and 115% over capacity and air ops are orange not red.

Status: offline 		I have not experienced problems with active planes at <115%. Reserve planes aren't even counted toward that figure, as far as I can tell. Look at the number on the ship info screen. The number of aircraft counted will be in yellow if above 100% but less than 115%. Reserve aircraft (so long as you don't overdo it) won't be included in that number. I just haven't had a carrier fail to send strikes as long as the capacity taken number was below 115%. If you have too many reserve aircraft, they will start registering in the capacity used number.

Status: offline 		Let me put this another way, just to be clear. Reserve squadron aircraft that don't register in the capacity used number are ignored. They do not count as part of the 15% overage you are allowed while still being fully operational. I'm not recommending that you max out your numbers aboard, in a battle you may need some space to recover planes from sunk carriers, after all.

I went back and checked one of my carriers and you are correct, Yorktown has 105 aircraft showing in total but more than that if you count in the reserve aircraft. My carrier based squadrons can only have three reserve aircraft each.
I do wonder if the spares could play into whether you can disband a fragment of another (emergency landed) unit and have the aircraft go into the carrier squadrons instead of being destroyed. Haven't had to do that yet so I don't know what would happen.

The air unit is not equipped with a carrier capable aircraft model. Each non carrier capable model airframe counts as 4 carrier capable airframes.

Once again Alfred has the sharp eye and a nugget of information that explains all! Several other players (me included) have learned in the past that you need to wait for the Corsair F4U-1A before you have a carrier-capable model.
