CS to CVL conversion

[Numdydar]

So my example above is wrong as both the conversion and upgrade of those two specific ships HAVE to be done in Tokyo as they are being converted into CV type ships.

[JWE]

No, your example is correct. People tend to speak in a verbal shorthand and say they are converting, when often they aren't, they are upgrading. "Convert" and "Upgrade" are two very different and distinct animals in the game. In this case, a noun is the name of a thing. Two different names, two different things.

Chitose and Chiyoda "UPGRADE" from CS to CVL; they do NOT "Convert". This Upgrade requires Tokyo.

Nisshin and Mizuho "CONVERT" from CS to CVL; they do NOT "Upgrade". This Conversion requires any port with a 50 shipyard (and supply, and yadda, yadda).

Do not confuse these two different things.

Understood clearly now (finally [;)]). Thanks for the clarification, JWE. I'll reference this discussion for future reference too. Cheers. [&o]

While most of us here will remember this now, why do I get a sneaking suspicion that a few months down the road it will come up again? [:D]

Actually, it's just port with a 25 shipyard. [;)]

Mine upgraded the day after they arrived! Cost me a month....

What do your do with the CS airgroups? Leave em on board and they turn into the CVL's airgroup of zero's and Kate's? Or, if that doesn't happen so take the float plane's off and use them as you use float planes?

[John 3rd]

I resize them and then pull them for recon/air search/ASW work.

I took mine off and put 'em to use like John suggested. The conversion takes the better part of a calendar year, so those planes can be repurposed during the delay.

Where does the new airgroups for the CVL's come from? Is it just carrier capable groups trained up to carrier trained?

[John 3rd]

The new air groups are coded to enter with the CVLs upon commissioning.
