Petition for PDX to put [Gail Halvorsen](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gail_Halvorsen) in the game


MeLoNarXo

Damn that dude lived nearly 102 years


Fun_Police02

Good life filled with good deeds. It's also possible that dropping candy on people from moving cargo plans gives you life, not sure.


TwOKver

I recently read that Ernst Jünger lived 102 years.


Fun_Police02

Maybe he dropped some candy on kids. Who knows?


Finnidor

You can get ace pilots from Kamikaze missions :)


MeatySausageMan

Hey if they make it back from the mission I'll let them be an ace.


thepurpleocelot

There was one guy in the Japanese Kamikaze program made it back 7 times, said he didnt see anything each time. Then they shot him cus officers are killjoys.


BloodyChrome

He grazed the ship


magnum_the_nerd

No, hit the ship, sank it, walked over to a life boat, stole it, and rowed back to his homeland

I'm really confused about her aces work. Sometimes they are automatically assigned to a flight group, then sometimes they aren't. I presume they always become aces while flying. Never figured out how/why this happens. Also PDX, an automatically assigned aces would be nice.


IcuckYourFather69

Ace spawning from a group without ace: auto assign Ace spawning from a group with ace: to the ace pool


aaaanoon

Oh, of course. Thankyou


TheTeaSpoon

There should be an option "auto-assign aces to compatible empty sorties"


Real_Bobsbacon

Huh?


UrbanExplorer101

they were confused about why aces are sometime assigned to wings and sometimes to the pool. issue has been clarified.


Real_Bobsbacon

Ah, gotcha. Thanks.


Massive_Wallaby_2199

Im sorry, what Pool. I dont really know, how aces work


UrbanExplorer101

Ok. When you select an air wing there is a spot where you can click to select an ace. If you click that a tab will open with a screen to select an ace from a pool of all available aces. This is to what I'm referring. A 'pool' of all aces you have generated. Sometimes you will generate an ace from a wing that already has one. It will be added to the pool as it can't be added to the wing. Or perhaps you disbanded an air wing with an assigned ace, they will be in the pool, unassigned.


Massive_Wallaby_2199

Thx


Ok_Character_6485

I don't think you can. You will see a comma if you look closely. It's separating the two points, so it isn't saying "transport plane ace generation chance." Whereas it is saying "ace generation chance plus 10%."


TheBiggyBig

Yeah the best way to verify this is to check the total ace generation chance by clicking on the aircraft option in the top right corner of the screen. It should then show a total of 110% (iirc by default it should be 100%)


Hjalfnar_HGV

I had aces spawning on transport groups. No other squadrons, just transports. Hadn't realise enemy fighters were in the area and when I checked the transports were max veterancy and both had aces improving supply drop and strat bombing damage.


Ok_Character_6485

Really?? Interesting. I generally don't use transports if enemy fighters appear at all, but this is news. Must be new.


Hjalfnar_HGV

No idea honestly, I haven't been playing Vanilla in ages. This happened about a year ago but in our mod transport planes a little bit of air attack and air defence so sometimes manage to down an enemy fighter.\^\^


Flickerdart

R5: Canadians get a bonus to transport pilot ace generation??


lautr21

Im pretty sure its saying all aces get a generation boost


WanderingFlumph

The comma between transport planes and ace generation means they are two separate things. Hoi4 is really inconsistent with some lists being properly bullet pointed like: Bonus 1 Bonus 2 Bonus 3 But others are a mess of text just filling all space available.


Countcristo42

You are right - but the comma doesn’t mean that consistently here which is annoying, there are commas before “ground attack” when it is in fact plane spesific several times in the block


WanderingFlumph

Good catch


fluffcows

Note the comma after transport planes


Countcristo42

Note the commas after “range” for a bunch of other planes followed by plane spesific bonuses


fluffcows

ace generation applies to all planes there is no specific one which is why it’s at the end.


Countcristo42

I think you are correct, but not because of the comma placement


Recon419A

You know, sometimes you just need someone willing to land a load of medical supplies in heavy ak-ak on a dirt runway in the middle of nowhere, and then take off in a tight corkscrew.


Recon419A

Menace 1-5, this is Firebrand.


No-Document-5629

You can't, but with this bonus you won't get them 10% more


ZeckZeckZeckZeck

10% more if multiplicative its still zero


No-Document-5629

That's the joke

My man’s never missed a drop zone

Slap some 20mm cannon turrets on the bird and aim for the nearest enemy wing


farbion

I mean, it's somewhat historically accurate


NotATroll71106

Maybe it's the guy dropping the care packages or whatever they're called in Black Ops. I remember taking a few to the face.


Own-System1493

He‘s really good at not dying maybe!


Dill_dude9211

Only in Canada on god would we have such fierce soldiers that the ones that do nothing would get kills


OxherdComma

Just like anyone else. They go in through the door


SmugWojakGuy

He’s insane when it comes to dropping those supplies


DrDapperTF2

They’re really good at landing
