I have noticed on the random troop recruitment, that I get a ton of pilots. I have 30 on just 1 of my sides. I understand it is random. But Since I got aircraft. I have gotten waaay more then normal.
Tone it down some please.

Fun thing to add is that you will only ever need one 5 stars of each (attacker and fighter pilots) maybe 2 for attackers if tail gunners become a thing… so yes you get way too many pilots reeeaaal fast…

agreed.
i was about to make a similar post.
legit, i switched to normandy, than moscow and berlin using bronze orders, i had 20 pilots in each campaign.
like what the hell. if you have to give me lots of troops at low stars, be kind and put them as troopers!.
it’s such a frustation and waste of bronze orders to get every single time pilots.
and what makes me even furious, is that i see lots of 4/5 stars pilots, and not any other class.

Darkflow’s logic when it comes to stuff like this is really…missing. Troopers should be most common, followed by all other infantry types, then a rare chance at vehicle crews/pilots. It’s so SIMPLE but they just won’t DO IT

Completely logical - you are encouraged to spend money to buy silver orders to get the troops you actually want.
Money talks duh!
Maybe from the stand point of a gaming company. But in RL pilots takes years to train. I was a pilot.
Reason Germany and Japan did so poorly to the end of the war. They had no pilots.
I lead a team that is 1/2 pilots… was an aircraft engineer myself… and RL training issues are irrelevant - the a game!
we could somewhat agree.
but you end up being disappointed and not spending them anymore.
because i used all my silver orders, and got merely soldiers of the wanted role but only 2 stars.
( which happened to me 70% of the time. not worthed if you ask me )
and people are not dumb enough to lose money in something that it’s gamble.
( perhaps i could be wrong )
pretty sure it just gives you less of whatever you are currently leveling. lmao.

With current influx of bronze orders, I find myself having too much soldiers from all classes.
Yeah it gives you a pretty even split over all teh types you have available - so as you get more types you get less and less of one ones you want right now 
and of course as is noted above, you only ever need a couple of pilots at any one time, whereas you might have a dozen or 2 troopers in squads in your lineup.
So yeah the priority would be much nicer if the numbers received reflected how many you can plausibly have in your available squads at any one time.

If I would get the most of normal troopers I would be complaining tbh. I use those the least of all of them.
Completely random is perfect for me tbh. 2 to 4 pilots with tailgunners is for me the same as the 4 bombers or 6 gunners, 4 assaulters, 4 snipers 5-6 engineers, 5 tankers, 2 troopers, 3 radiomen I use.
It is really fighter pilots that are a waste of space - never more than 1 in a squad even when gunners get introduced, plus lots of people don’t use the allied ones at all because they are mostly useless for CAS.
But they get just as many replacements as every other type.
Oh for sure indeed, I deleted the fighter pilots from moment one and both squads are not passed lvl 3. Didnt even consider those xD
I tend to stack a lot of unused fighter pilots as well, but also an excessive amount of snipers. Being currently the only soldier class available in 3 versions, they have more chances to drop.
It is random, but please don’t believe that chances for each class are equal.
I get also too many pilots and accuse purpose from Publisher.
Exactly, even if I was using pilots (which I’m not) I would still only need 1 of each. It’s just becoming a chore deleting all the unneeded pilots, tankers and mortarmen.
