These boys will be back with me soon .
When the become CVL BB do they come back with 22 Float planes ??
In my game it looks like they have 3 as they had as BB

what did the operate in RL

I think 18 RUFE and 6 Alf seem just the ticket .

IRL, Hyuga (and Ise?) embarked a complement of Aichi E16A Zuiun reconnaissance floatplanes. I believe that initially the Japanese also proposed to embark a group of Yokosuka D4Y Suisei carrier bombers.

I converte both BB was that the same in RL
Are these aircraft units in the game ?

I assume the D4Y is present in all mods as well as stock, since it was the replacement for the Aichi D3A (Type 99 carrier bomber).

I did a quick check with the database editor and can't see any E16A's, either in stock or CHS, so you may be out of luck there.

Don't know what the game will permit you to embark. Perhaps only floatplanes. In which case the E13A may be your best bet. Alternatively (depending on the mod you're playing) you might consider the M6A Seiran - certainly available in CHS in Sept '44. I have a nagging idea that the Seiran was actually considered for use on the CVX conversions; no doubt someone more knowedgeable than I can confirm or refute that.
