Rossj -> Average Repair Time and Replacements (10/18/2009 12:55:01 PM)
|
The average repair time for CVs seems too low. Typically a deployed CV has an average repair time of 3-6 days per fighter. The idea that the majority of 27 fighters will be down after a day or two of operations is unlikely. I served in naval aviation for over 20 years including a deployment on the USS Midway, running a maintenance department and a squadron. It is standard practice now and I suspect it was common practice then to cannabalize aircraft to get mare aircraft operational. If anything, the algorithm should be non linear. The repair rate should be exceptionally high when there are lots of planes down and painfully slow when you start nearing 100% readiness. But when you return to port the repair rate should be near instantaneous, especially if replacement aircraft are available. Replacements rates for for land bases may be out of whack too. I have a base at PM which is large, well staffed with aviation support and well supplied, yet my fighters squadrons shrink and do not seem to replenish.
