HI Mogami,

Try setting up a sweep for both sides, from bases equidistant to the target - preferably fairly short ranged, 1 or 2 hexes. This should eliminate the problem with the CAP not engagin with equal numbers, while also reducing or eliminating the fatigue accrual disadvantage the Japanese pilots are probably suffering from in their sweeps. I believe, although am not positive, that sweeps flown to the same target should result in air-to-air.

Regards,
Randy

[QUOTE=Mogami]AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 05/01/42 Japanese sweep Air attack on Lunga , at 67,97 Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 54 Allied aircraft P-40E Kittyhawk x 29 (I can not get CAP to fly the same number of AC every time) 4xA6M2 -4 pilots 3xP-40E -3 pilots I'm going to add a bomber group to see what escort missions do I'd like to know what exp means as well. If trained pilots for both IJN and USN are 60 but IJN pilots finished training with 700 hours and USN pilots in 1941/42 only had 350 then USN gets credit for a lot better training. But still what would a 20 be? 116 hours? Still it appears exp has more to do with op loss then combat where aircraft type is much more important. (and Japanese AC do not outclass Allied AC early when compared to how much they are outclassed later.)[/QUOTE]If I were in your shoes, Mogami, as a playtester I'd ask Gary what his forumlas are, examine those and then go from there. Without these formulas (as I've explained twice previously) this work is bound to be hit or miss by nature as you've no sure notion where and how the various rating modifiers (plane, pilot, leaders, weather, airbase level, etc.) are plugged in, could at best be inefficiently completed, and most probably no one will in any event know exactly which results obtained represent something bad or good with respect to what the model is actually attempting to produce. In other words everything and everyone will remain confused. The formulas themselves are likely not all that much different from what Gary's used before and ought to be no state secret. So just ask him. He might break down. If he does (as he should) it'll save time and energy all around.
