Actually, the green pilots are usually left behind while the veterans bomb. One way around this is to take the higher skilled pilots and put them on Group Reserve. They will stay with the unit so the trainees will bomb. Then they get the bombing skills faster. If the veterans stay with the Group, they will increase the group's average so the trainees should go up faster to that average than if no veterans were there.

You need BETTY training ASAP, unless you want to put guys from KATEs there (with exp hit). Train Search for some BABS, there are lots of large groups, no reason to waste them for Recon only (speaking of which, training recon for low skill is also good). And some ground bomber training would be useful. Green pilots really don't get skill in live bombing as fast, as you would thought.

Hi inqistor, you're right i have lots of bab units. I'll take 1 or 2 and make em training units.

i have nell unit stuck in the HI. i'll make it a training unit naval torpedo

that's interesting. how high is a good number for the veteran exp in the reserve to help? 70? 80?

Anything above the group average will increase the average that the trainees have an easier time to reach. Middle to High seventies in experience is good, seventies in skills are good and this includes defense. Defense does not go up as fast as the trained skill so that is why other secondary but usefill skills are trained. So your Betties may train in Torpedo Attack, Naval Search, ASW, Ground, Naval Bombing, Low Naval. Usually 3 skills are done but in emergencies . . .

First number is current detection level on scale 0-10. Second number is maximum detection, which could have been higher during turn, but your TF moved, so current one can be lower. At 0 enemy doesn't see your TF. At 1 he may only see that there is ship on that hex. With 6 he should be sure, that this is KB.

Check if KB fighters haven't shot down any search planes during this turn. Those might have been enemy Carriers.

I means that you have been spotted, that it is fresh and not degraded. The highest supposed detection is 10/10. That means that they have a pretty good idea of what is in your TF 1.

Put some CAP at 6000 feet to help shoot down search aircraft. This would also be able to react to torpedo bombers down low.

Hurricanes are more maneuverable than P-40s.

Why are your Bettys dropping bombs and not torpedoes? You can set the number of torpedoes for your Air HQs by going into the "show unit TOE" instead of show unit values. Also, if set to attack with torpedoes but none are available they will use the substitute bomb load. Which for Bettys and Nells is two 250kg bombs and four 60kg bombs which will not be effected by the non-Attack Bomber penalty at 1000 feet. If you set them to attack at 1000 feet, I think that they can come in under a high CAP as well. Against lightly or non armored ships, the bombs work fine and there are more bombs than the single torpedo.

Once you know about enemy minefields, then your ships will route around them. Use your Landing Barges (LBs) as mine detectors since no VPs are awarded with their loss.

Paradropping on Port Blair is probably the best way to get it if it has not been reinforced with combat units.

Never set your fighters on CAP at 100%, it wears them out. They are not training either. If you want them to train, you have to set that. The unit also needs more pilots. If nothing else, put in rookies and set the training % to 30 or so.

Your bombers are not training, their percentage training is ZERO! Split the unit into thirds, give each third replacements, give them fighter escort. The same fighter unit can do 30% CAP and 10% LRCAP on the same target as the bombers, especially if the target has fighters based there. Don't give the enemy free points.

When air units are only training, set the range to zero.

Use paratroopers to grab those small bases, then use Fast Transports to pick them up and invade somewhere else. You only need 1 AV to grab an unoccupied base.

Hi Joe,

thanks for all the great hints. I was just looking at my airgroups and planning what to do next after batan fell.

i looked at some of my bomber groups and their bombing accuracy was less than 10%.

then i looked at some of my fighter groups and their bombing acccuracy was over 90%.

i just thought that was too funny.

BTW if i upgrade some of my light bombers with 90% bombing accuracy to sallys will that affect that number?

No but you don't have enough Sallies. Use the light bombers for training and in China.

Your 14th Sentai has taken a fair few losses to enemy fighters.
That tells me that they’ve found it hard to bomb accurately because they’ve been busy trying to dodge incoming .50 cal rounds

they bore the brunt of my air attacks on manila, clark field and bataan.

but a lot of those were due to high commands mistake of setting altitude to 6,000 when i thought i was issuing orders to another group attack undefended bases. i was given hard labor

i take that back. you're right most of that is A2A.

no operator error - not blatent anyway- drinks all around

can anybody tell me what significance bombing accuracy has on future strikes. Does it only reflect the accuracy the unit has had so far in the game and has no predictive value whatsoever? and please hans don't tell me to read the manual because during this lull i have read it front to back and front again.

I think that it is more something of a player interest thing although it can also be used to suggest more training. RTFM is always a good thing to do, even as a refresher.

thanks joe.

Do major skills work the same way. they are just a reflection of how the current pilots have trained or is there some way that major skills are used to determine future results

The skill are what you need for them to be effective in combat. So train your pilots accordingly. The experience is harder to gain because a lot of that is general flying experience but that helps them survive and not be an ops loss.

thanks joe - sometimes (most times) i don't make myself clear

take these two groups of ann bombers

If you completely ignore the pilots currently in the group!!!!

Let say i replace all the pilots in each group

would one of these groups naturally be better at low level bombing?

This is my assumption, I believe that the “major skills” are just a summary of what the current pilots are good at.
So if you swap out all pilots for rookies, then run the turn, I wager 2 South Pacific Shellbits that those major skills disappear.
I’ll get a chance to test this in my game shortly, but I don’t believe the group keeps those skills if you swap the pilots out for untrained rookies.

Thanks jdsrae.

that was my thoughts after joe told me about the bombing accuracy. lots of good info. but not a useful tool to gain an advantage. and boy do i need some.
