Ok, I should clarify what I meant by only researching 6-8 planes or so. However it sounds like you won't be as short on supply as I thought when I wrote that previous post.
I didn't mean to devote 7.7 size 30 factories each to 10 models. I meant pick out some models you really want to R&D and only change 4-6 factories to size 30 for those types, meaning you would incur only about 120,000-180,000 supply cost per plane you R&D'd. Before doing so, pick other planes that have R&D factories that you aren't trying to accelerate, but would like to produce later (and they have no current production factory that will upgrade to them - like the Helen, Nick, Myrt, Tsurugi if you want it as a kami, etc.) and leave those R&D factories alone for now - they can convert to production factories later, saving you a small amount of supply. You can bump them up to what you think your actual production numbers will be (say 25 for Ki-45 Nick) and just leave it. You might get enough R&D points that the model advances a month or two, or you might not, but if so it's just a bonus as you aren't going for the R&D on that model.
And as others have said, make your R&D factories size 30 from day 1.
I would like to see somebody do no R&D in a game sometime and see how much more supply they have than others.

I was hopelessly lost due to the fact that I do not understand what each plane does, etc. There was a very good tutorial on the internet that someone linked to and I followed their plan. Essentially it appears I turned off about 17 research facilities, accelerated the rest to 30 and increased some production and engine factories. Changed some factories around to focus on certain planes.
Hopefully when I get the next turn back I can use tracker (which I dont know how to do) to help me with the rest of my planning. Yes, Kamakazi's will be desired and I want lots of them. But that is years away in real life and in game time.
The 2nd turn is sent to HAL so we shall see what we shall see... maybe in a couple days.

RE: Open the pod bay doors HAL. Wargmr (J) vs Dr. HAL (A)
Still clumsily bumping around in the ocean. Hope I dont lose the KB to an iceberg or something...
I need help to figure out what engines I need and other tweaks to the industry. I have tracker up and running so if someone would be kind enough to tell me the relevant pages I should print in this AAR so they can help that would be appreciated.
So many numbers making my head spin right now...

RE: Open the pod bay doors HAL. Wargmr (J) vs Dr. HAL (A)
KB near Iba? Interesting. So no PH strike, then. I think you should have gone after the VPs at Pearl, but oh well. Given what the KB did in my PBEMs maybe it wasn't worth it [;)].
I'd try to stick to shallow water, and at least 5 hexes (if not 7) away from airbases that might have torps - Singapore, Palembang, Batavia, etc. Stringbags could ruin your day. Swordfish have a normal range of 6, extended of 8. Vildebeests are normal 4, extended 5 (no torps).

RE: Open the pod bay doors HAL. Wargmr (J) vs Dr. HAL (A)
Tracker has a screen that sort of shows future engine needs but I just made my own excel sheet. It is more useful since I can put in future factory increases and then my sheet tells me how many engines I'll need. It is also a great exercise because it makes you notice some non-intuitive things - like A6M2 factories do not auto upgrade to A6M3 - they go to the FB version of the A6M2.
Anyway - aircraft and engines you have plenty of time to work on. The thing that is better to hit early, if you are going to do any at all, are aircraft R&D, and LI, HI and Naval Shipyard expansions. All of those pay you back better the earlier you make the upgrades. I'd suggest bumping all the LI in the home islands by 20-40 pts each. Bump some of the Korea HI and once you grab it, bump up Singapore HI. You can also adjust the HI at Java so that you are using up as much of the local fuel and resources as possible so you don't have to use shipping (and more importantly fuel!) hauling stuff home.

RE: Open the pod bay doors HAL. Wargmr (J) vs Dr. HAL (A)
December 12, 1941
Another disappointing turn for the Japanese. Apparently my lack of naval skill as the Allies has followed me over to the Japanese side. Despite having overwhelming superiority in ships, 2 battles between Japanese heavy cruisers and the Allied light cruiser force are tactical losses for Japan.
I suck at this as the Japanese. I have no focus, I dont really understand where his forces are. I am not really having any fun.
Landed troops at Kuantan on Malaya as I judged Mersing was just too close to Singapore at this time. He has about 12 subs desperately trying to find the KB and I think it is time to move out to somewhere else that I can be of use.

Another disappointing turn for the Japanese. Apparently my lack of naval skill as the Allies has followed me over to the Japanese side. Despite having overwhelming superiority in ships, 2 battles between Japanese heavy cruisers and the Allied light cruiser force are tactical losses for Japan.
I suck at this as the Japanese. I have no focus, I dont really understand where his forces are. I am not really having any fun.
Landed troops at Kuantan on Malaya as I judged Mersing was just too close to Singapore at this time. He has about 12 subs desperately trying to find the KB and I think it is time to move out to somewhere else that I can be of use.
