Have you reassigned any experienced pilots to train recruits?
Within OPSEC. What is your long term pilot program?
All my pilots will die in glorious service to the Empire. [:)]
I used to play all the pilot games, when I was severely behind the air curve with Tiemanj. But it is click intensive, and the Tracom program a bit gamey (or so I have been told), so I train them and release them, eventually trying to migrate the best to some elite special purpose units.
I might put a few select favorites into Tracom...we shall see. Haven't thought that far ahead to be honest.
This is PDU off, so simply put, I need masses of medium well trained pilots. Ooodles, and ooodles of them.
I dislike the pilot game as much as, if not more so, than anyone else, but it's a requirement for any sort of high-level play.
I think with PDU off it's even more important than otherwise - you need to nurse those high EXP/high DEF pilots to turn those marginal air-frames that you're stuck with for most of the war (Oscar, Tojo, Zero) into something that is of some use to you tactically. Otherwise it's just free EXP for the Allies.
I've learned to be very, very fluid with pilots, as it's easier to move pilots around than air groups. I routinely cull my dedicated CAP squadrons for 65+ EXP pilots for offensive squadrons.
EXP seems to be the most significant stat for pilots. The various skills can be built up very easily over time, but building EXP is hard. It's going to be a major part of my pilot training programs in future.
