ORIGINAL: LoBaron Thank you for the clarification! A very slight reduction of the exp level needed is a valid point though. (to 65 maybe?) Squad exp level is the way to go and it was a good idea, but with 70exp this additional factor will only come into play under very extreme circumstances or, as Sardaukar pointed out, if the player creates an elite squad by hand picking veterans. Is this intended? When the overall experience levels were downgraded, I don't think anyone went through and lowered all the places that check the group experience. I think that the expectation was that the groups would need to be trained up to match the old coded levels. but thatīs where the problem for the players start. You CANīT, at least not on a broad scale. All you can do is create flying circusses like Sardaukar said, taking out the 70+ exp crews to put them all into two or three squadrons. But thatīs not realistic at all to create "special" squadrons to be able to drop 1000lb bombs. If we would go this way it would be like creating these British squadrons that were training to do attacks with Tallboys against Bismarck. But a Tallboy attack can hardly be compared with normal ground attacks with 1000lb bombs. Like Iīve mentioned earlier, having squadrons with a total of several thousand missions and the average exp is around 65. These bomber squadrons have been bombing since day one of the war and are now in Nov 43. And experience is only going up due to missions, no chance to use the training mission, you will never reach 70 within the war using training so thatīs not a possibility either. So, I think it should be definetely lowered because the expectation to train these groups up was a misinterpretation of how the game turns out IMO. Please donīt take this as a negative critism, I just think that if the feature is still there and the ppl in charge thought it should stay there, then the feature also should be changed to meet the new conditions in AE as you just canīt take WITP standard for AE.
