[QUOTE=Quark]Esteban, on fort building speed. Check your supplies. I have noticed dramatic increases in speed when I got >5X required supplies on the base. Also I didn't see anyone ask if you had your eng doing more than one task. That really slows down the IJN especially with their lack of equipment. BTW I always build air up couple levels before forts lvls to help with the malaria. Also IJN ship commit level drops like a rock in late July. I can't remember exact date. #5 I have noticed my pilots tend to top out at 59 EXP even with flying 150 missions. I don't know what it takes to get past that point. Even victories doesn't seem to help. Very few of my new pilots have made it past 59. My game is in mid Dec '42. One exception to that is the recon sqdns. They are all in the 90's now. Quark[/QUOTE] Thanks, my PM supplies are not that high (relying on overland supply from Buna). Maybe that is it. Also, if you want to get your betties and other bombers to up their experience past 59, for new pilots, set them to a recon mission, finding a suitable place you want to know more about of course, and then set 80-90% of the squadron to naval search after assigning the recon mission. Works pretty well. Thanks for the info on fighter training, I kind of suspected that was the way it was. I find that pilots do go up if they are involved in successful aerial combat, but the survival rate for pilots around 59 experience is not that great, even against early game allied planes. The vast, vast majority of them get killed off before they get to 70 experience and become what you could consider to be "good" pilots.
