Hey Grad <S> [8D] Great Questions. The quality of the Pilot for Replacement AC depends on if both the Pilot and the AC are a Replacement of if the AC is just being replaced to a pilot that lost his, like from crashing on landing or bailing out over the channel or the continent and being recovered. << Bail over the channel Allied Pilots recovered, Bail of the Continent Luftwaffe Pilots recovered>> For Pilots getting a replacement AC, their Morale takes a hit but not their Experience but their overall quality is degraded by losing the AC due to the Morale hit among other things under the hood you dont see. Pilots coming in as Replacements, will come in at a base level of Morale and Experience depending on the time and their Command.. IE Country. These will typically be lower than those you are currently flying.. there are exceptions of course. I am speaking very generally here. Check the Morale and Experience of your Pilots mission to mission and see how they change. Then check those same stats of Replacement Pilots for an exact quantification. But generally you can expect the overall quality of Pilots coming in as Replacements to be lower than those currently in action. Can you run out of Pilots? Yes you certainly can. A lot harder to accomplish with the Allies but it can be done. This is a very significant danger for the Luftwaffe. So I would recommend taking care how you carry out your campaign with respect to KIA and MIA totals over time. Later, KayBay
