If a group needs a pilot, it will grab one of '1'-delayed pilots if no other available in the group.
Whats the main reason for wanting them to appear in the group all the time?

It all depends what you mean saying "if needs a pilot"...

What's the level of fatigue (of a single pilot) that makes the engine to "want" another, fresh pilot with delay "1" zero the delay and take part in the fight?

Really don't know how the mechanics should work or works as it is now...
but speaking purely from the Japanese 44-45 POV I find those inactive pilots rarely take part in the fights.

If a given squadron on CAP has, let's say, 40 planes and 45 pilots active plus 10 inactive,
from my experience, when encountering enemy raids those 45 pilots are used to fill the available planes and those inactive of delay "1" has no real impact.
With next raid(s) there's less and less available planes & the number of pilots instantly available (active) is decreasing slower. Again, the active pilots are taking part in the fights and those inactive still are inactive.
Pilots used so often increase their fatigue. The same is true if there's no action.
Bigger number of available pilots lowers the overall fatigue before the fight occur.

ORIGINAL: michaelm
If I make them all active, at the end of the next turn, it will spend time putting them back to '1' if the group has too many pilots.

It's not that we want these pilots were automatically active at the end of a turn. No, they should not be all pulled down to "0" automatically.

I would agree by default, if I set a pilot to inactive he should stay inactive with the delay of 1 day until I change the state. However, I love the idea of a button to set all inactive pilots to active, this would help speed the game along.

It's more like the Rook749 said...
In 44 - 45 when my squadron is engaged in combat, it usually losses many pilots.
I find myself engaged in clicking hundreds of pilots from reserve or other squadrons to fill the ranks. And then, when the delay "1" is the limit, I need to do it again and activate them all. It takes tooo looong to go through all those squadrons.

Again, having 45 active + 10 inactive pilots on CAP is quite a difference when compared to having 60 pilots active in a 49-planes daitai. Their fatigue is different plus they all gain some experience from missions flown.

When you click "Get New Pilot" (HA! I bet you never use it, except for training squadrons!) you first get pilots from group reserve into active status, and only if group reserve is empty - you will begin to draw new pilots from pool.

Actually I think it is bug, because when you press "Get 10 pilots", and you have, lets say 3 pilots in group reserve - you will got those 3 pilots from reserve PLUS 7 new, and you will be still short 3 pilots (so the button will change), but it does exactly what you need - puts inactive pilots into active status.

Updated
Fix port refuelling when lowest endurance ship in TF doesn't need fuel
Fix ships in port with full fuel should have full endurance
Fix AI over diverting TFs to top off fuel (courtesy of Don)
Changed Allow inactive pilots to be selected if group 100% training.

The last change is only affected with training at 100%. Each pilot in the group, including the active ones, will get a chance to train.

Sorry, but i fail to understand that one. Even with the help of babelfish i can't translate it into something that makes sense.

If the AI is plotting a TF course over a long distance, it may keep diverting to 'fueling' ports in order to refresh its endurance if the endurance doesn't cover the whole distance to and from the destination. The endurance may be sufficient to get to the target destination.
The change permits the AI to get to the destination without too much diverting and at destination refuel or THEN start diverting to refueling ports to get enough to go home.

Ha! You're right Inqistor!

Thanks for pointing it out. I quess it's just my style of play and micromanaging.
Normally I pick all new pilots manually and rarely touch the "get pilot" button
because it brings more randomness into the play

But you're right - first it brings all "delayed 1" pilots back ready to fight.

Unloading unit attack mode not correct in some shock attacks
If initial unloading fragment didn't have any assault unit, then the rest of the unit might not have set Shock attack on atoll.
If base in hex belonged to enemy, the LCU display would still show some 'base' info (eg supply)
Damaged planes in reserve could interfere with normal plane repairs

Hi, in trying to install the latest .exe, Norton deletes the file claiming there is a threat called SONAR.Heuristic.112? Am I doing something wrong?

Just installed it myself, and my Norton didn't reject it.

Getting an "unable to find PW data error" on starting the newest beta. Also, the installer didn't add a new shortcut to the desktop, and the beta2 .exe file says it was last changed on september 9.

Hm, tried removing the beta2 folder and running the installer again. It didn't create a new folder.

Wonder if its stuck in my antivirus.

Howdy, not sure if this is expected behavior but I checked my invasion fleet before it hit the coral at Ponape and it appears that RADM Hill is no longer in command, nor is Dan Callahan whose surface TF merged with the Amphib TF to beef up surface ships and suppress batteries. Instead, despite having 2 old BBs, 3 CAs, 4 CLs, and about 18 DDs, the lowly Captain who headed up the ASW TF (2 DDs) that was the last ships to merge into the Amphib group is in charge.

Shouldn't there be some sort of rank protocol where the highest ranking leader assumes command and not the commander of the last TF to merge? This seems very, very odd.

As a result of this, I had to divert to Nauru to reapply Hill in command, making my jarheads sit on APAs for an extra 4 days.

Oh, this TF has over 70 ships in it.
