WOW - These have some Zip in them! Several models literally are generations ahead in performance when measured against Allied same-period counterparts. Can you give me a little background as to how you are deploying them in your mod. Is this just to add teeth to the Empire end-defenses, do they serve some other purpose, or are you pulling on some historical what-if thread I am unaware of? How many air units you are proposing be eligible for these upgrades in your world. Lastly, are your maneuvers flat across the board for all modes, or do they fall off at high altitudes?

[MadmanRick]

Basically these aircraft are either drawing board types or minimal prototypes and as such are not fully developed. I have not gotten as far as developing a mod to encompass these aircraft, I am leaving that up to the user. These aircraft are similar to Luft46 proposals and each can be used at your discretion or not. Feel free to add one or more to a favorite mod, just for fun!

Most of the data was pretty sparse on these as you might think, so where I could not locate data, I simply pulled data from similar type aircraft, for example the Katsuodori is "similar" to the Me-163, so I used what I needed from that. As far as altitude data goes, obviously these should be subjected to any penalties that similar aircraft in the database are already, so I would suggest simply extrapolating that data from the existing numbers.
