Pilots KIA numbers don't match

Post by xhoel »

Hello all. I was wondering if anyone could help me with making some sense of the Pilot numbers in the CR screen since they don't match the numbers from the losses screen.

Here are total WA losses before i run my air directives:

Here are pilots listed in the CR (note only 14 pilots listed as KIA for the US):

and here are losses after the air directives are run:
Image

140 Pilots KIA according to the loss screen.
Yet the KIA pilots in the CR only go up to 25

Image

How is this explained? which number is the correct one?
Thank you in advance,
Xhoel

Something is out of sync there - maybe Commanders report KIA does not account for MIA pilots whereas losses page KIA counts all types (KIA/MIA/CAP)
WitE dev team - (aircraft data)
WitE 1.08+ dev team (data/scenario maintainer)
WitW dev team (aircraft data, partial data/scenario maintainer)
WitE2 dev team (aircraft data)

Hey Denniss thanks for the quick reply. I thought so too but still the losses are too low. Even if you sum up all the losses in the CR they end up at 53 for the US whereas so far the WA have suffered 800+ losses in pilots.
In case the pilots KIA in the total losses screen account for all losses (MIA,KIA,Captured,Wounded) wouldn't it be better to change it to Lost Pilots instead of KIA Pilots to avoid confusion?

Best regards,

I assume something is wrong with the CR screen numbers. I'll bug that, thanks for pointing it out.
