Shinano Air Group (in RHS)

[el cid again]

Now we can have five squadrons per CV -

in RHSEOS we will continue to use the all CV version of Shinano - and in addition to the fighter squadron, attack unit and bomber unit, we already added a recon element and now we will add a fighter bomber squadron. Late war IJN fighter and fighter bomber squadrons are 16 machines. Attack and bomber units are 9 or 18. CVO is identical to RAO in terms of Shinano and air group size.

In RHS CVO we have converted to a strictly historical CV version of Shinano - with 43 plane hanger capacity (42 is usually listed but it cannot be so - it must have 16 plus 18 plus 9 to use period units). The EOS version has a hanger capacity of 96 - the most the code handles properly - and adds 22 more planes (16 fighters and 6 recon planes) to the group (for 65 total).

In RHS BBO we never had a Shinano as a carrier - and we still do not. BBO includes RPO and PPO for ship/air group types.
