Hey guys, was messing with the equipment editor, specifically aircraft units. Questions:

-can't see any "anti ship" setting. Shouldn't be one?
-the AP and AT values, are based only on the mounted guns or also on the bombs/rockets that the plane would carry?
-what exactly means "shell weight" for an aircraft?. Looks like is either 100kg or 250kg for a light fighter or a heavy bomber...

Looking at the excellent D21 scenario, comparison between Fw 190A/D vs Fw 190 F/G AP values are looks very strange (7-4) as the F/G versions were the attack/fighter bomber variants.

It's derived from the AP and the flags. It's complicated.

It's up to you. I would include the bombs/rockets, myself. Guns are mostly for AA strengths in most cases.

Same as for artillery or any ranged equipment. It determines the equipment's dis-entrenching ability.

Thought that would be something like that.

Yeah I agree. would be nice to have a big thread discussing the eqp files.

Not quite sure I understand this: you mean dis-entrenching itself or other units?

Thanks.
