ORIGINAL: Mark Weston It's Jan 1st 1942 and I got a bit of a shock today. I was expecting my first monthly payout for pilot training, and the figure bandied around here was 20k HI per month. WitP Tracker seemed to be randomly predicting somewhere between 17k and 21k depending on which day I looked at it. In fact my HI pool dropped by 36,302. My usual daily HI surplus runs at around 1,500, and there were no other factory expansions or other one-off HI expenses that I can think of. So a total pilot training cost of approx 37,800 HI. Can any other Japanese players share what their pilot training is costing? I'm a bit startled that the forum consensus was 20k, and I'm wondering where that came from. I'm also wondering if anyone knows how the training cost is actually calculated? Tracker, in the graphical industry chart, shows an entry for pilot training of "4151 Plts" and multiplies it by 5 to get an estimate of 20,755 HI. Oops. That 4151 number looks like the total no. of pilots in my replacement pools (I say looks like; the number in game is slightly lower but I'm fairly certain I pulled some pilots into a squadron after loading the turn into Tracker). Clearly Tracker is multiplying the wrong number by five. Are training costs actually based on the total number of pilots in training at the first of the month (which would make sense; in my game that would come close to 8,000, which seems approximately right)? Enquiring minds would like to know (before their economy crashes...) Mark, I'm a Tracker dev and I'm looking into this before ver 1.5 -- any chance I can have a look at the save ? MichealM gave me the low down on the requirement, but something still isn't quite right ... but to be 20 K off seems ridiculous. And yes it is the total no of plts training * 5. quote:
P.S. Anyone know what happens if you don't have enough HI to pay for pilot training when the first of the month comes round? Some plts don't get their exp. changed AFAIK.
