Thanks! But I haven't noticed any experience drop when switching from 1E to 2E or whatever. I've only noticed it when I go from one pool to another. Can anyone else comment on this?ORIGINAL: Kull
Anybody who takes the time to make a tool that helps others (no matter how few) is deserving of kudos and thanks - so you get both! The trickiest thing for me is that you can't dump pilots into a common pool if they can be pulled by both 1E and 2E airframes, since a 1E trained pilot loses experience points (which are the slowest of all to accumulate) when moved to a 2E airframe, and vice versa (Patrol is even worse, since then you have 4E in the mix). So that means I never use common pools, which increases the mouse clicking exponentially.
Yup, so I feared. Maybe I can convince the folks behind Tracker to dump this data too. I figure if they can get experience then they can get skills fairly easily as well. Or I can get an NDA. If I can show that my automation tool is serious then maybe I can pull this off. I just need more time to invest in this. With only 1-2 hours a week this is going to take years to get a real program that I can think about giving to others. Then again, my current PBEM game may take longer to complete.ORIGINAL: bartrat
It gives only EXP, not skills broken out. So would not work for you.
I'd be interested in your complicated strategies for the Allies; I'm not going to worry about the Japanese pilots since they require much less management. I'm still trying to figure out optimal algorithms.ORIGINAL: geofflambert
I don't let software run anything if I can help it. I don't even use automatic convoys. I have very complicated strategies for training, and it's different for the allies than it is for the Japanese. In my experience it's by far the most important task you have. When I was playing the Allied side I still could do 3 to 4 turns a day. If you don't do training properly against an opponent that does, plan on losing.
