Q-Ball -> RE: Observation on Japanese v Allied Pilot Quality (1/16/2010 6:57:39 PM)

OK, so the thread became a series of training tips, which is OK, I just want to hopefully steer this back to the original point..... So, sounds like we agree? That Allied pilot quality will converge with Japanese pilot quality for most of the game? (Well, we can't say for sure until we get there, but it does SEEM that way) If so, is that OK? And maybe there are two answers; one for history, the other for play balance? I can certainly comment on what WITP was like: I had virtually unlimited production of Franks late in the war, over 800/mo rolling off the lines. By bombing the Chinese, we also had about unlimited supplies of 70+ exp. pilots. I would hoard up a pile of these units, and send 1000+ planes at once at the US....where hundreds would then get quickly killed off anyway, for not a big result. Back to square one and repeat the process. So, WITP, in a roundabout way, kind of simulated the futility of the Japanese late-war air position, just in a different way than historical. Is AE going to be a repeat? Not sure.
