I had 2 pilots with a kill each. Both these pilots were killed in air-air combat. The squadron they were in says that it has 2 kills but the pilots are not in the kill list. I expect they are KIA or WIA but they are not in top pilots list. Is anyone else having this problem??

Drongo -> RE: Pilots (7/8/2004 8:34:02 AM)
The squadron keeps the kills even after the pilots are dead and gone. It is a reflection of unit history rather than the total kills for all the current pilots in the squadron. As to why the pilots aren't on the list, don't know. How many pilots are on the list at the moment (is it full)?

vontiger -> RE: Pilots (7/8/2004 8:39:34 AM)
Sorry what I meant was that these 2 pilots should be in the top pilots list but they are not. I gather that once they died they were not held in that list and I am wondering if anyone else is having that problem? Its long campaign I am allied I have 10 pilots with kills LOL

Ron Saueracker -> RE: Pilots (7/8/2004 1:29:29 PM)
This stuff is not worth worrying about. To me, the concept of leaders and individual pilot stats is a bit vague anyway. Bothers me that in UV/WITP, the TFs are always commanded by Lee, Tanaka, Spruance, Mitscher, Halsey, Nishimura etc. Pilots stay with squadron forever...I'd say nix them or make them random. Waste of time...a hold out from BoB and BTR, both air war games.

cpt_Venomous -> RE: Pilots (7/8/2004 1:32:36 PM)
I'd say give an option to create pilot training programs

Hi Ron I totally disagree, if anything was learned during the Pac war, was that ships were out of date, it was a AIR WAR, most of the landings, were not to take ground from the bad guys, but to take ground to build airfields, so the next airfield could be taken to me, the pilots and there kills are very importent (and would like to see Ship/Sub Aces added to the game also (S@S kills should be based on the ship, not the skipper) the pilots not showing up on the top list, looks to be a data base glitch, that has carried over from BTR (it is in UV also, didn't follow it close enough in BoB to see if it started there or not) HARD_Sarge VonTiger yea, I got the same thing, and posted to the bug page to see if it is seen as a hassle or not in the Turkey Shoot, McCambell, shot down 9 planes in 2 missions, he was never listed or were any pilots from his squadron

vontiger -> RE: Pilots (7/9/2004 1:13:20 AM)
I think this is a [X(] bug. Everytime a pilot is KIA or WIA the pilot is removed from the top pilot list.

pompack -> RE: Pilots (7/9/2004 1:46:53 AM)
It's a feature that I like. In BTR, I can never find my best pilots because the list is so cluttered up with the dead and the missing (and an occasional wounded)

vontiger -> RE: Pilots (7/9/2004 1:48:13 AM)
I personaly like knowing which pilots have what kills dead or alive. It details what squadrons are the best by how many pilots have kills. Even if they are dead[;)]

I like the pilots and leaders but I don't think any more effort needs to be spent on them if it is in any way difficult. If I did not stay up so late I might make more sense sometimes.[:)]

vontiger -> RE: Pilots (7/9/2004 3:10:31 AM)
No Problem Ron I understand, I stay up late, I just have to go that extra day or 5 LOL. I am playing long campaign as allied and I am pulling out of Borneo. So its all good mate.
