MarkS -> Air group limits (7/9/2002 6:26:41 PM)

Am I doing something wrong here?
I try to get my bomber gruop numbers up to 24 units per group but the next day they go back down to about 12.

example:
I have been disbanding small gruops to create larger ones. Usually when I have a couple of groups consisting of two or three B17's I will 'condense' them into larger gruops by using the 'disband' option. I make sure that there are enough pilots etc. before I do this an I'll end up with 24 planes in the group. Sure enough the next day I will have a single group with a small number of planes in it. No, they have not performed a mission that could have caused the losses.

What gives; am I doing something wrong?

There is a limit in the number of operational airplanes in each squadron - just look at the number between () in the squadron screen - I think it was 12 planes for B-17 sqdns (but higher for B-25 & B-26 squdn).

So if you manage to get more than this number of planes in a squadron then the surplus planes will go into reserve and seem to be transfered in the pool a few days later.

Hello, In airgroup display next to group name/number is a number in parenthesis This is the max size for the group. Allied heavy bomber groups are allowed 12 aircraft.



(Spooky types faster then I do)

rjr, thanks for the info.

I sure would like to have some of those 100+ bomber raids that I see posted though.

I guess that you just have to have a lot of 12 plane groups!

I did not know one could combine air units. What does one do?
Disband a unit then what?

When you disband a squadron, you are asked to which squadron you want to transfer the planes (and the pilots) of the disbanded squadron.

mogami -> Disband/withdraw (7/9/2002 8:26:00 PM)

Hi, I do not disband groups I withdraw them. The planes and pilots are still tranfered to another group but the group will return with a new set of pilots once there are enough aircraft in pool. (I am afraid disbanding makes them go away forever does anyone have a clear understanding of the differance between these 2 options?

According to the manual the only difference is that disbanding a unit causes the pilots to immediately merge with the unit receiving their a/c. Withdrawing also immediately merges the a/c but removes the pilots from the war zone. They will return at a later date after merging with replacements when they are ready. See pg 87.



Supervisor -> Re: Disband/Withdraw (7/10/2002 3:50:56 AM)

Disbanded units reform 90 days after they are disbanded.

Withdrawn units reform 60 days after they are withdrawn.
