Mike? 10-20% Operational losses??? Thats 1-2 planes for every flight of 10. 30 odd days in a month, thats 30-60 planes a month! You don't get that many B-17's! I think you are in denial

Btw: there are separate pools for the various groups, the big problem you start with in UV is a mass shortage of aircraft. Planes flood in stripping the pool at record rates and the skill slips down the tubes fairly quickly. This may be why you are seeing it more in B-17's ... with the slower aircraft rate, the pilot pool has been raped and pillaged by the B-25/26/PBY/P-39/etc. Just another reason to pull back and heal up instead of going on the offensive at the start of the game. Once you dump your pilot pool into the crapper, you screw up a lot of air units and it takes months to get them back to where they started the game at...
