Fans of this heavy flying boat may thank St Lo Tanker for pouting its range was insufficient.
Investigation reveals that the Navy referance material used gave its "range" as that with 4 tons of cargo! The ferry range is no less than 3120 miles, or 52 hexes, yielding an extended mission range of 17, and a normal range of 13. This will appear in releases 2.24 and later of RHS.
The Avro Anson now has a maneuverability calculated by RHS formulas at 5. Its durability is 7. These corrected values also will appear with 2.24. 2.23 is a massive update for Allied warships, done by AK Dreemer.
Since I won't use tools that risk corruption of data (from bitter experience) I made every change (thousands) by hand. The database was dirty - completely fictional armor, weapons, ranges, speeds, fuel capacity - and AK used things like Friedman to fix them. Only one case was not accepted as offered: I went with Alaska class armor from the ships plans.
