Do air groups need their full allotment of aircraft to be "withdrawn" for game purposes, or can there be as little as one a/c in the sqdn for it to count? I'm thinking in particular of all the bomber groups in CONUS that have to be withdrawn, but will never be able to fill out with all 13 planes. -- Mal

You do not need to fill them out. You can withdraw an air group that has no aircraft. Further note that some units can not be withdrawn but must be disbanded with loss of aircraft and pilots, but you can remove the pilots first so you lose no pilots.

Ah, thank you. I didn't want to disband squadrons and then be told they had to have all their planes. I've already been harvesting the training squadrons for pilots. -- Mal

The US produces lots of pilots for most purposes, although some have commented that having well trained USN Fighter pilots in 1944 is difficult unless you use float plane squadrons to help train some. Early in the game the pilots are not well-trained but you can transfer higher skilled pilots to the General Reserve and then move them to an active sqn. using the 'Request Veteran' button. The training squadron can then backfill with lower skilled pilots. Most players lament the lack of aircraft in the early game more than the lack of pilots.

That's what I meant. I'm building a couple of "super" squadrons with the best US pilots available, some of which are coming out of squadrons dedicated to training pilots. (That's "super" for a given value of "super," although a couple of pilots do get up to the high 70's pretty quick) Yeah, plane starvation is a thing. Do the build rates ever change, or am I doomed to receive only 35 P-40s a month for as long as they shall be built? -- Mal

Then hit "i" and look at your aircraft models, what they upgrade to, and the numbers of those that you receive.
