Ise/Fuso Conversions

Quick question: The Jap player gets an option to convert the Ise/Fuso BBs, increase air capacity from 3 to 22. Post conversion, do these BBs base regular or seaplanes? That is, do I base 22 zeroes or 22 jakes on them?

Thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure it has to be float planes like Jakes. The deck at the back would not be a good place to land a wheeled aircraft with all that superstructure at the end! It might be able to launch them from catapults though.

It's for float planes only, which means that Rufe & Rex can use them, too.

The original design was to have modified Judy's launched from the deck. They would have had to land on a land base. That never materialized though.

Speaking from the experiences in my match with Sean, those REX are darned fine support Fighter planes. I fly them at 5,000Ft and they do pretty well.
