Well no actually cause the a6M2 upgrades to the Sen Baku ...ORIGINAL: bigred

Point or not, but there is no cost switching partly repaired R&D factories. [;)]
What happens if a 100plane per month ki61a factory has produced say 1,2,or 3 planes and then I switch it to 61d? My reading indicates the factory goes into R/D on the ki61d providing 100 research points per month. Net effect is to cut reseach time in half.
And in theory, the same situation applies to the a6m2 and the a6m8!!!
And also to the a6m3 and any plane in this tree.
for example, currently I produce 100 a6m2 per month. the a6m8 arrives at 10/43 iirc.
So if I stopped a6m2 and changed factory to a6m8 then the plane would be available at 1/43.

As for arrival dates 100 R&D doesn't always give you 100 R&D points / month - it depends on the size of the R&D facility (larger isn't always better) ... that's why I believe size 30 factories are the most efficient.
