Jap Plane production quantity

Post by Minedog »

What is a reasonable estimate of Japanese monthly plane production of all types. 200, 300, 500?

I'm trying to measure a war of attrition vs. the AI, setting up big bases and bombing every aircraft I can reach and looking to outstrip Japanese production. If I'm knocking 20-30 out a day, is that enough?

Be careful you don't suck all the supply out of the Home Islands. Note that much of that 2300 later in the war come from r&d.
