" But you can still divide AVG into three parts when it is rejoined in its old slot."

I know... I just prefer to not work with seperated air groups. It's one of the reasons I love the CHS...

When checking the Zero-factories, will you also adjust the sub radars ? Balao and one other older class that get SJ lack SD. They should have it since especially Balao comes in 1943 and other is upgraded to SJ in 1943. Nothing else critical I can think of now.

Fixed.

Took screenshots about AI Japanese aircraft production since March 23rd 1943. Played against it as Allies:

Hope these help if to see if there is something else wrong with aircraft factories than A6M3.

Well, I am no expert on Japanese production, having never played the Japanese in a game. But the fault is basically that the A6M2 and A6M3 factories were not "swapped" with the A6M3 and A6M5 factories to keep them aligned with the aircraft themselves (which were swapped around to get rid of the Zero bonus). This "removed" the A6M3 factory entirely (it becoming an A6M5 factory instead), as can be seen in your screenshots. Furthermore, the A6M2 production should have expanded.

I am swapping the factories, as they should have originally been, which should fix the problems.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks to you for your great work !!

I'm no expert of IJ economy either...thing horrifies me !! And I agreed to play Aztez as IJ...in my first ever PBEM..[X(][:D]

I think this has already been brought up.
The B-17's have been nerfed so bad over the past couple of years that they can now operate from level 3 airfields.

Did this get rectified lately?
It really gives the Allies a major boost to be able to deploy these aircraft from single engine airfields.

It did get fixed, once we knew exactly what the "max load" values were used for.

How on earth was this possible? Level bombers need an airfield of Level 4 + bomb load/6500 (rounded down). Even if they were given only a bomb load of 500 lbs, they would still need a level 4 airfield to fly normal missions.

I thought 4E bombers needed level 5 airfield? [8|]

Apparantly somewhere in the past, the bombload capacity was reduced to make the B-17 less deadly.

The result was a smaller load capacity which reduced the airfield restriction size to a 3 minimum for the B-17.

It used to be a minimum level 4 for B-17's.

Larger load capacity bombers require larger airfields Aztec.

You can thank the B-17 nerfers.
Instead they created a weapon platform that can now operate from single engine airfields.
Very handy for us AFB's.[:D]

So which CHS version returns this to normal AB?[;)]

To my IJN opponents.[;)]
As the Allies I don't station my B-17's at -4 airfields for this reason.
So my Allied opponents should make a note of this and comply with like treatment of this shortcoming.

Thanx for clearing that out Halsey.
 
Hmpf, I never have flown my 4E bombers below level 5 airfields. That is a note to PBEM's opponents.

2.05, I think...

Thanks AB!!![:)]

Halsey, has the game itself been changed?

The Manual states that Level Bombers (which category includes the B17) require an airfield of level 4 + (bomb load/6500). Once again, there is no way that a level 3 airfield can satisfy this requirement, unless the code was changed to read "level 3 + (bomb load/6500)".

I realize that larger bombers require larger fields. As originally introdeced in the game, the B17 required a level 5 airfield for normal operations. The B29 required a level 7 airfield. The Hudson only requires a level 4 airfield. All level bombers require at least a level 4 airfield for normal operations (not operations at reduced load), unless one of the patches changed this.

So has anyone looked into the August 43 availability of the Kittyhawk III, a P-40 K which began production in 1942?
