Replacements

[Robi89]

If experienced pilots die or get seriously wounded, they apparently get replaced by complete rookies.

 

Thanks to being outnumbered somewhere between 3 and 4 to 1 on the last missions during Market Garden, my Squadron Leader is seriously wounded, both Flight Lieutenants were shot down and killed and now the squadron consists of three Flying Officers with three air to air kills between them, six Pilot Officers - none of them with more than 30 missions flown or more than two kills - five Warrant Officers, three of which haven't flown a single mission, plus myself, who is the only surviving squadron member with a skill level higher than competent.

 

Is it possible to tweak the replacement system in a way that a streak of bad missions doesn't completely wreck the squadron's skill level?

my question is do the injured ever return to active duty in your squadron? to lose a veteran or ace or just a damn good pilot is disappointing

Lightly injured return.

Is there any way to make it so the AI pilots have a return period for seriously wounded as well?
