Plane Manpower Reduction
Welcome to the Plane Manpower Reduction mod, again a small mod designed to make playing with smaller countries more interesting, as well as aiming more towards realism.
Just as with the manpower reduction for ships, every person has his or her own idea on how the game handles equipment and maintenance.
To me this is a vallue that is already included in your manpower pool, your conscription laws etc.
And there for i like to tweak the vallues down to a more "real life" situation. without dis-lodging the game complete.
For instance, the single seat fighter plane has been reduced from 20 man, to 3 man.
Where as the Naval Bomber plane has been reduced from 20 man to 6 man.
And the jet fighter has been reduced from 40 man to 3 man.
I decided on these numbers using the following "logic"
1 pilot per 12hours of the day(2crews per day) + 1 reserve pilot = 3 total crew.
In-case of the Naval Bomber 1pilot, 1bomber/torpedo operator for 12hours of a day(2crews per day) + 1 reserve crew = 6 total crew.
Twin engine planes had their manpower sliced by 50%
Quad engine planes had their manpower sliced by 75%
I used those vallues as it was very depending on the country and plane type what would decide on how many crew would be needed.
I might tweak the Twin engine and Quad engine planes in future, but for now the vallues felt good when trying it out.
Not achivement compatible
Should be Multiplayer compatible
