Then dual boot with a separate partition for your programs and data. That way, if an OS gets messed up and you have to reinstall, only the OS partition is affected.

I finally took Sittang Bridge! What I did differently is that I merged 12 battalions into their parent regiments (4 in all). Is that a big factor or am I imagining things? What do you think?

Merging components into the larger parent unit gives them more support to conduct operations, especially attacks, also you might want to look at the Commander's skills of the combined unit as he might be better then your separate smaller unit commanders were.

What about air force squadrons? Would it be a good idea to merge fighter squadrons?

Depends what you need them for if you only have 1 squadron but need it to do multiple things like night CAP, Day CAP and escort with the same squadron then split it. If it is a search squadron it might be a benefit to split it up to cover from more bases. So it all depends on your needs at the time. However, I am sure they fight better combined in their original squadron with everything else being equal.

When you split up air units, the B and C sections may not have that good of a leader.

In general: Yes. You can always split them later.
In this scenario: ... it is complicated.

You have three Sentais of fighters each made of 42 planes combined. I will call them 1st, 2nd and 3rd Sentai, because I don't remember the actual names.

1st Sentai is divided in three
core group - 14 Nates; can upgrade to Oscar Ia
.II group - 14 Nates; can upgrade to Oscar Ia
.III group - 14 Nates; can upgrade to Oscar Ia

2st Sentai is divided in three
core group - 14 Oscar Ib; can't upgrade
.II group - 14 Nates; can upgrade to Oscar Ib
.III group - 14 Nates; can upgrade to Oscar Ib

3st Sentai is divided in three
core group - 14 Nates; can upgrade to Oscar Ic
.II group - 14 Nates; can upgrade to Oscar Ia
.III group - 14 Nates; can upgrade to Oscar Ia

For replacements you have some numbers in the pool but your production is:
Nates - many, I don't remember it , but there were enough.
Oscar Ia - 12 per month
Oscar Ib - 12 per month
Oscar Ic - 5 per month

All of them have no armor and die fast.

3rd Sentai has a weird dilemma:
1. If you combine it right away and upgrade them to Oscar Ic you will never have enough Oscars to fill it.

2. If you upgrade the core group alone you cannot combine it with the others later.

3. You can also combine one group with the core and upgrade. You will have 3rd Sentai as 24 plane group with Oscar Ic and a detachment of 14 Nate/Oscar Ia planes.

The other two Sentais don't have the same dilemma, but you don't have enough planes to keep them full.

Ideally you want the Oscars to Sweep/CAP, while the Nates train pilots and immolate themselves as Escorts when you need them to.

The allies on the other hand have little to no replacements for their planes, but theirs are tougher to kill.

Edit: typos.

Always more things to consider when you make one decision it cascades into other issues.

A suggestion, use thee Nates for LRCAP on the enemy airfields at a low percentage level. This will increase his ops losses. If you say there are little to no replacements and Nates aren't good offensively, then that is a good option. Nates can also be good for CAP as the are maneuverable and the escorts are at a disadvantage. Even if the Nates don't shoot down too many bombers, they can damage them which increases the chance for an ops loss as well as spoil their aim. It is probably very hard to concentrate when a bullet whizzes by your ear . . .

tarkalak, that's a very detailed explanation. You highlighted everything I've been scratching my head over. Thanks!

And yeah, Nates and Oscars tend to drop like flies. I'll take RangerJoe's advice and use them as LRCAP.

That's a good suggestion. I've noticed that fighters fought at an disadvantage when escorting bombers. Guess that make sense since they need to fight and babysit at the same time.
