The only biplanes I have are Jeans. All the rest are monoplanes.


and what a biplane!!! ok, I meant single engine single pilot, small pane, of course.

I don't think it makes much difference how many engines you have for training.


I think it makes, and plenty of.

Nothing that could not be reversed, though, but not as so easily and immediate as is now in game.

Do you think a Rufe pilot should be trained on a Dave or a Zero? We know the answer to that.
pool.


If he's going to be tasked, as reasonably is, with air superiority/pursuing duties, so better he comes from the fighter pilots pool.

Two engined trainers were mainly used not to train pilots (I'm referring to US trainers) but to train bombardiers, navigators and gun turret operators. Your premise suggests P-38 pilots were somehow at a disadvantage since they trained on one-engined Texans. They weren't and I am dreading their arrival on the battlefield.

Short for "Anal Retentive" a term for a personality type that is extremely controlling and detailed in everything they do. Other people regard them as "up tight", like having "clenched butt cheeks" - hence "anal retentive".

The syllabus probably should be first with the Stearman, basic trainer; then probably the Texan, advanced trainer; but here I guess bombers/multi engine big airplanes trainee pilots should have departed their ways for an airplane more similar to their final assignment; for the British that would have meant the Anson probably, while the Japanese had their much similar counterpart;

All this is taken into account and simulated, I guess, by the game with its general training program;

but from then on, I can hardly figure out how could you effectively train a Kawanishi perspective pilot on a Jake...yes, with setbacks, when he has to take control and convert to his cumbersome and complicated machine.

Bong's squadron not yet arrived?!?

I guess how a slower higly manouverable plane could fare against a much faster but bulkier.

I'd like to test it in flight simulator against humans, but I'm a vey bad pilot.
