Thanks for the info.
Regarding this bit....

1) You can replace aircraft if you want. This, however, often removes the carrier from action for a while or you need to transport the replacement aircraft to the carrier and that is not popular either. So many players often delay with this.
Not sure what you mean by "replace" Is it that:
a) you can't actually "upgrade" a unit - you just have to buy the new model to replace the old model - and presumably disband/destroy the older model in the process.
or
b) The air unit does upgrade but the carrier is out of action as well - and is the out of action bit because of the upgrade or just because there may not be another CV air unit available.
or
c) something else
Thanks again
will post any future questions in the general forum as i'm getting a bit off topic for this AAR
Your question about upgrading air units has been answered, but I do want to add one small detail. The CVP's do upgrade each year in the sense that they get "smaller" and a unit that needs a class 2 carrier in 1939 might be able to fit on a class 1 carrier in 1940, etc... Carriers can also hold 2 air wings, so long as the combined air class is equal or lower to the CV's class. This means another way to upgrade the units on your CV's is to fly CVP's from their current CV to a CV with a lower class at the start of the new year, or combine the air wings of 2 cv's onto the deck of just 1. Both will allow you to put a new CVP on the recently vacated CV. But the CVP still has to get to it, so it either has to be in port within range of the new CVP (which can only be placed in home county cities) or transported to it by transport, as discussed above.
