Japanese names

[Gormadoc]

Hi

Have anyone made a Scenario using Japanese names instead of the Allied code names.
Or do i have to make it myself? [:)]

Cheers

Not to my knowledge....GP

I recall some screens with Hayabusa, and Zeke, so probably it was done. Although I don't remember actual mod author. El Cid maybe?

[btd64]

I don't think it's in Sid's mod. I'm playing it now and I haven't seen those names....GP

Heh, maybe Nemo? But he had 4E Japanese bomber named Angel, so probably also not his mod. I vaguelly recall seeing this in AAR, but probably long ago. Maybe the one with French Navy?

[Gormadoc]

Well in that case i will to do it then. [:)]

My mod used Japanese names in an early version, but feedback suggested that it creates confusion since Allied code names are much more familiar. So I went with Allied code names but added the Japanese name when space permitting. I may go back to purely Japanese names for my personal use.

In the Reluctant Admiral and Scraps of Paper mods, most Japanese Naval squadrons use the aircraft type as a descriptor, e.g., Akagi's airgroup looks like this:

Akagi Kansen (Fighters)
Akagi Kanbaku (Dive Bombers)
Akagi Kanko (Torpedo Bombers)
