At cloncurry 39,11 is the Toboali Civil Enginerring Unit Atttached to ABDA. Their is a unit of the same name at Taboali.

It needs to be renamed! It is a copy - and not renamed.

I also noticed that the two Anson Squadrons At Rabaul one is over stocked with 12 aircraft and the unit screen say 8 max and the other Squadron only has 4 aircraft but can hold 8. Wasn't sure if this was intentional.

Got slot numbers? Unit names?

- IJA Air Sector HQ (964) has sound detector and type 13 radar at the same time

This is correct. However,

the radar should be Type 21 (because our Type 13 does not detect airplanes)

and

the sound detector automatically upgrades to a Type 21

so we should probably only use the sound detector.

[The sound detectors were not really removed]

In version 2.31:

- type 13 radar does detect airplanes
- type 21 radar does not detect airplanes, but ships
- sound detectors upgrade to type 13 radar

All of this should be so and is correct, why change it?
I just wanted to show that after upgrading of the sound detector there will be two type 13 radars in this units. The type 13 radar should be removed from the formation so it has one sound detector that upgrades later to one type 13 radar.

As I understand this feature should allow a japanese (and allied too) player to give a freigther some refit to do special tasks as it could have been done historicaly, like the possibility to transport lots of mines and rearm MLs.
In stock there is a ship class "Large MLE" especialy for this. (It has been removed in RHS for the japanese side only, it is still in use for the allied side (359)!)

Two small standard freighters were indeed converted - note the word small - and note that small ships might function as escorts - while a large AK - whatever you do to her - will not be effective in that role (due to maneuverability considerations).

The MLE class actually existed in stock and CHS in multiple forms - and both ships also were listed twice (one with an extra o at the end of her name). I renamed the class properly - and it IS in RHS - so named. But it WILL NOT convert from a "large AK" - because it should not.

I am no navy expert so could you please explain to me: Why should an MLE work as an armed escort, guarding other ships? Its purpose is to transport mines to a forward post and rearm MLs there with this mines. For this function there is no need to have a fast and maneuverable ship. In contrary: the bigger the more mines it can carry the longer it can stay in forward position before it must return to a bigger base to reload new mines.

- sound detectors upgrade to type 13 radar

Boy am I confused:

In CHS 155 and not yet released 177,
and in ALL versions of RHS

Type 13 radar is surface search
Type 21 and 22 is air search

And the only thing wrong with that is both 13 and 21 are pretty good at both! I saw no reason to change the CHS convention - which appears to be from stock - so I did not.

I did notice that CXAM in every variant is wrong. It SHOULD BE air search only - and is not. I fixed that. This was the first Navy air search radar in a production sense.

It is exactly the opposide in version 2.31 (latest I have) and CHS 1.6:

- type 13 is air search radar
- type 21/22 is surface search radar

Remember:

Penetration 500 = air search radar
Penetration 0 = surface search radar
