CS and Scenario 71--RHS

[John 3rd]

Continuing to work through things here and have the question as to when can I upgrade my CS: Chitose, Chiyoda, Nisshin, and Mizuho to CVL?

Chitose and Chiyoda may be controlled by hard code. That is in the WITP manual.

Other cases are controlled by the scenario - and it is not the same in all of them. For example, strictly historical scenarios never let Nisshin or Mizuho become CVLs - because they did not - while in EOS, AIO and EEO - some of the ships start as CVL and others may convert. Tell me the scenario - or look in the class file - follow the update route - and look at the date field.

We're doing Scenario 71.

Well - it is a mistake - but Mizuho will upgrade any time you want to a CVL. It starts as a CS.

Nisshin never upgrades in any respect - and that too is probably an oversight. It starts as a CS and never gains radar, light AA, nothing.

I will look at this for the eratta update - I have about 200 eratta from utilities to investigate.

Thanks for the info!  I will immediately move Mizuho to Osaka and wait until January 1, 1942 for the conversion to start.  If you can fix that problem with Nisshin, that would be AWESOME!  Understand your issues regarding lots to do and only so much time.

The AAR I just started--At Dawn We Slept--will focus on production and strategy primarily.  Maybe it will help you and your designers.
