Hi all,
Not Japanese fanboy.
OK - just wanted to be sure.
The Japanese in the war never matched allied increases in fire control but at the wars begining they were considered to have the best fire control and damage control technology in the world. Radar was the only field where Japan did not keep up.
This is an area my in-expertise, but I had always heard that Japanese damage control sucked. And I thought early war AA fire control consisted of an officer with a stick saying "get that one - that one over there!"
Accuracy of AA weapons in this game in other words is based largely on rate of fire.
Good point, but I'm going to question sources on the next one.
The 20mm Oerliokon was widely considered a mediocre weapon
Again pointing out my lack of sources - I have always heard that the perceived problem wtih the 20mm came from the British distrust of a weapon that fired so rapidly that the breech was not completely closed when it fired. Friedman states that it was the weapon of choice and competition was fierce for available guns during refits. The only problem mentioned was top-weight of the gun and it's very large ammo supply and, later, lack of stopping power against Kamikazes. Don't mean to start an argument as I am completely unequipped for one on this subject - just searching for the right answer.
The Allied 28mm gun is considered one of the worst AA weapons ever
Based on it's world class jamming performance, I agree.
The squad values were based upon another forum members work which was done comparing numbers of men and effective armament at different points in the war.
Point taken. I'll review the values for the devices I added to see if any of them need adjustment based on your values. Recommendations appreciated.
But we wouldn't want Japan shooting something down.
I agree with you there - I like my airplanes and I don't want them destroyed.
