Hi, a question regarding the letters you can see in the list of aircraft you can choose from for bombing misssions or others.

What do they stand for ( i noticed n, j, r and some others i do not remeber right now)?

They are obviously related to radar.

n= nightfighter?

These are described in the "Electronic Warfare Guide" in the manuals folder but I can reiterate them here:

"j" indicated the group is fitted with a jamming device.
"n" indicates fitted with a navigation-aid device.
"e" indicates fitted with elint device
"b" indicates a fighter is equipped with bombs.

Aircraft can be fitted with multiple device types, but only the primary function will be displayed, usually "j" and "e".
