ORIGINAL: Canoerebel Re: Obvert's thoughts, the long series of carrier engagements have been pretty lopsided in favor of the Allies, at least in terms of plane/pilot losses. I think Allied pilot quality is now ahead of Japan's. Some of the veteran groups have experience in the 80s with skills commensurate or higher. I don't know if that's such a big thing long term, but that remains to be seen. In previous games, I think Japan maintained a marked pilot-quality advantage deep, so this is new territory for me. And how will kamikazes jiggle the puzzle I'm trying to piece together? I dunno. I was surprised his small kami strike go through your big blue blanket!! Mine surely don't. If he's losing pilots at the rate we're seeing here, yeah, it could make a difference, but your comment on your pilot quality is even more telling. It's about the pilot experience differential more than what is available to Japan. If yours keep surviving and getting better, the quality gap will keep growing in your favour.
