Once I get the final list from Rob I sure can.

Be careful of increasing AF's that can/will be turned against you. You will make the B29's that much more difficult to deal with. If anything, I would SHRINK some of those places.

Why are you not focusing more on the A7M? I don't know this mod that well, so ....


:ugeek: :ugeek: :ugeek:
Increasing air fields can definitely be turned against me, but by the time that happens that little bit won't matter much. By increasing some of them it will allow me to build the air fields out and double up on my AV support.

Looking over the aircraft I have decided to go with the George. The N1K2 George is equal or a little better in all categories when compared to the Sam. The N1K4-A George is identical to the K2 George, but has increased firepower. By using the same engine for both Army and Navy fighters (as well as a bunch of other aircraft) it will allow me to streamline my engine industry - The Ha-43 will only be used for the end game Shinden aircraft. And TBH I am still looking at the Shinden to see if its worth the cost to research and produce that one aircraft (and engine) when its only advantage over the George and Frank is roughly 50 mph top speed.

If my math is correct, I will have the Ha-45 by mid 42 when I can start stockpiling the engine for the engine bonus. That should allow me to get the N1K4-A George by mid 43. Since nothing upgrades to the Sam, I would be looking at early 44 to get that model.

Not sure if this will be a mistake but we will see I guess. This is also why I am posting this stuff here to let you guys pick my decisions apart.

Is that George carrier capable? Is that Sam carrier capable? That might make all of the difference in a naval air battle between carrier forces - especially if you can sink some carriers early on.

Don't necessarily compare the Shinden to the George and the Frank, compare the Shinden to the Allied fighters!
