There is a bug in there I just worked out. Complicated by the LLB/FB/DB addition.
Will be fixed in the 1108q8a out soon.

Why? Surely the Jap player has to pay for the extra engines he uses. What is unfair about that? Adding a pp penalty for being able to actually influence your own economy seems like a daft idea. I would love to know the thinking behind it, but if this makes it into a main patch, there would be a lot less people willing to play the dark side...
Well it's the morning so no beer to keep the testing going but here's what I'm seeing in Q8a:ORIGINAL: n01487477
Actually I'm not against the idea as a JFB, just trying to work out what is happening... and wonder why it is costing as much as it is in PP's. And extensibly ongoing PP's.ORIGINAL: michaelm

From what I've noted so far testing fighters.
1. Doesn't cost anything to upgrade along a factory path or the same type of plane. Attributes(CV etc) don't seem to have an effect.
2. Costs to change type even if they are defined by the editor (which I raise my eyebrow to) or back again.
3. Even if you change type and continue on that type it costs. (another eyebrow raised) Although if you don't keep the original type I think it's ok.
... going to check engines with LB next ...
[edit] That's goofy (regarding 3) - an LB group that doesn't have any upgrade path, costs to go from 1 engine to 2 (OK) but then costs to upgrade to another 2E LB... making point 3 a quandary
Well then another beer for me and another round of testing ...
Cheers
It is not a cost to go from 1E to 2E bomber.ORIGINAL: fodder
It now costs 75PP to upgrade a 1 engine bomber to a 2 engine bomber.
That's still a big game changer.
Again not a good one.
Thanks Michael - glad some of my feedback was used (again).ORIGINAL: michaelm
A couple of changes.
1. No PP if the cost to change the LB if the cost of the current LB is greater than or equal to the cost of the new LB. Once changed to Heavy, you can change to a Medium/Light/Attack LB freely.
2. Warning message if you want to change to a a/c still under R&D.
3. The R&D a/c should be grey on the list.
It might not have been noticed, but changing from a 'pass use by date' a/c will cost less. Also changing to an obsolete a/c will also cost less.
So far this is looking great! Thanks to you and Andy for this nice feature improvement.ORIGINAL: michaelm

Hmmm...it's this sort of bug that will cause me to say that we'll have to wait for the next official patch plus several months. [;)]ORIGINAL: USS Henrico
Hmmm...my valiant Japanese PBEM opponent finally brought up the idea of actually considering using the Beta last week-to my complete shock. [X(] He still hasn't forgiven the artillery bug being fixed a couple of years ago. This is just the sort of bug that will cause him to say that we'll wait for the next official patch plus several months again.
Good thing he's at Disney this week. [:)]

Of course, being able to accurately predict your opponent's reactions is helpful to any battle plan. [;)]
