Post by Puhis »

US Army pilots are appearing on IJ top pilots list. I'm running the latest version of the game.

As the opponent, I know that Boyington and Smith have recently moved to TRACOM.

The Top List isn't taking into account TRACOM pilots. It thinks that the TRACOM group is Japanese.

Fixed in next release.

Another question about Boyington, why does he show up as an Army pilot?  I know he starts out in the AVG but it is not US Army.  Is there a need for a group in the Air side that is not country specific?  Just thought that might be problem.  Possibly it might have something to do with database corruption (like I have VMSB units flying fighters and VMO units flying dive bombers).

He is initially assigned to the AVG which is a 'US Army' air group (as per editor scenario #1).
Pilots have to belong to same nationality as their group, otherwise we end up with buggy pilot lists where WO Japanese end up in Allied groups like with WITP.

This is a compromise to preserve data integrity within the game.

And Boyington is a USMC pilot...
So much WitP and so little time to play.... :-(
