Notes:
Note 1: The first batch of 24 model 32 production machines was made in 6/42.
[Appendix F, Zero, Robert C. Mikesh (Forward by Saburo Sakai)]
Note 2: The first batch of 76 A6M5 production machines was made in 8/43. Ibid.
Note 3: The first batch of unknown size was made in 10/44. Op. cit. See also
text discussion on p. 90, same source.
Note 4: The first prototype completed in 4/45. The A6M5 went from prototype to
production in 2 months. It is optimistic to assume operational status in 8/45. Included ONLY because this aircraft ALREADY part of CHS.
Note 5: The first batch of unknown size was made in 7/43. Francillon.
Note 6: This aircraft was prematurely sent to the Philippines for operations in 1/44,
in spite of problems with engines and undercarriage that normally would not
have permitted service acceptance. Actual IOC used. Francillon.
Note 7: This aircraft was plagued by engine problems in spite of being sent to an
operational unit to such an extent production was long restricted. Francillon.
In spite of this, the actual IOC is used.
Note 8: While the first flight did not occur until 8/45, the first prototype completed in
4/45 and under normal conditions could have occurred then. Using the logic of
Note 4 above, we add 4 months to 4/45 to get 8/45. Francillon.
Note 9: The first production batch of unknown size was made in 8/43. Francillon.
Note 10: The first production batch of unknown size was made about 5/44. Francillon.
Note 11: This transport is intermediate between a Ki-34 and a Ki-57 in performance. The
Ki-56 is derived from the LO (Lockheed 14). If DNKKK (All Japan Air Lines) is
it has about 32 machines (including 7 similar performing DC-2s). Francillon,
Gunston and Weal.
Note 12: Historical production delayed by an earthquake not imposed on players! This
IOC date estimated on the same basis as Note 4 above.
Note 13: Probably the worst bomber in the game, even worse than the Ki-36! This type added for use in ASW groups on Army carriers – in which role it might be useful.
It is rated as a carrier aircraft because it served on IJA (sic) carrier Shinshu Maru.
It COULD be added to certain JAAF HQ groups as well – for recon. Francillon.
Note 14: Accepted for production in 3/43. Production probably began that month (as the
failed D4Y1 was already in production). Francillon.


Note 15: Added to permit creation of Army carrier air groups. This aircraft may also be
used in regular fighter groups – but historically the Ki-84 was used instead.
This aircraft was also intended for Army escort carriers. Sources differ about the production of this aircraft. IOC estimate based on 6/43 flight. Bueschel & Francillon.
Note 16: Pre-production until 4/44. Production “began in the spring” interpreted as 5/44.
Francillon.
Note 17: The first production batch of unknown size was made in 6/43. Francillon.
Note 18: The first production batch of unknown size was made in 5/44. Francillon.
Note 19: The first production batch of unknown size was made in 8/43. This aircraft was
designed to function as a dive bomber. It was code named as a fighter by the
Allies and was capable of marginal fighter operations. Francillon.
Note 20: The first production batch of unknown size was made in 7/43. Francillon.
Note 21: IOC based on first flight in 10/44 using the logic in Note 4. Francillon.
Note 22: IOC based on first flight in 8/43 using the logic in Note 4. Problems with the
hydrolic system and engines prevented combat use until 1945, but this is ignored.
Note 23: The first production batch of unknown size was made in 6/44. Francillon.
Note 24: The first production batch of unknown size was made in 8/42. Francillon.
Note 25: The first production batch of unknown size was made “in the spring of 1944” –
interpreted to mean 3/44. Designed to dive attack subs. Had MAD. Francillon.
Note 26: First mission in 3/42. Production began about 1/42. Francillon.
Note 27: Production began in 1943 with one previous H8K1 conversion. Francillon.
Note 28: Represents navy and civil variants of Ki-34, including AT-2 and DC-2.
Note 29: 4 machines built and served to this specification. Francillon.
Note 30: The first production batch of unknown size was made in 10/44. Francillon.
Note 31: Produced from “early 1944” interpreted to be 1/44. Weal et al This “aircraft”
is really a Ki-21II configured as a tug plus a Ku-8 glider. Performance is stated
for the aircraft pair.
Note 32: For bomb load data see Bueschel. Other data confirmed by Francillon.
Note 33: 16th Sentai took first delivery of operational machines in 8/42. Guns were
all Allied types; added missing guns (tunnel 20mm and rear). Francillon.
Note 34: The first production batch of unknown size was made in 4/44. Francillon.
Note 35: IOC based on actual issue to 23rd Fighter Company. Bueschel.
Note 36: The first production batch of unknown size was made in 10/44. Francillon.
Note 37: IOC based on first flight in 11/44 using logic in Note 4. Francillon.
Note 38: IOC based on transfer of 22nd Sentai to China for operations. Francillon.
Note 39: IOC based on actual issue to 244th Fighter Sentai. Bueschel.
Note 40: The first production batch of unknown size was made in 10/44. Francillon.
Note 41: The first production batch of unknown size was made in 2/42. Francillon.
Note 42: IOC based on actual issue to JNAAF 98th Torpedo Regiment. Bueschel.
Note 43: Classified as recon in stock and dive bomber in CHS, it is classified here as
a level bomber. It is in fact a recon plane and it could carry ten tiny bombs. While it can glide bomb (sort of shallow dive bombing) it was not a dive bomber.

Note 1: Device 466 is the Coast Defense gun used by Corregedor. It is almost identical
with device 311 (range differs by 1). 311 is a Japanese slot – so it should NOT
be used for an Allied device – and there are NO Japanese 14 inch CD guns!
Note 2: The Manual says Japanese device slots are 139, 237 & 255-314. But THIS
device is NOT in a Japanese slot! So I moved it to unused slot 313.
Note 3: IOC historical (Francillon). Load cost was wrong (it was warhead weight).
This device is NOT in a Japanese slot, but will NOT work if it IS in a Japanese
slot. It also is NOT in an aircraft ordnance slot, but it DOES work!

There are minor changes to the proposed aircraft database:

1) The E16 is reclassified from a float fighter to a float plane. This is because it was used as a bomber in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, and the game code will not allow a float fighter to bomb.

2) The IOC of Rufe is changed to make it consistent with all other aircraft. IOC is either the real IOC date or two months after it enters serial production, or four months after its first flight.

[el cid again]

This proposed change list is available with speeds rated in mph or in knots. Both versions are rated to work with 60 statute mile hexes which fits both stock and Andrew Browns modified maps - in spite of the fact the manual says the hexes are 60 nautical miles. At the moment, it appears that CHS will use the mph version and RHS will use the knots version. There is a 5-10% difference in air combat values if mph data is used (higher numbers result in more effective fighter planes).
