extended range

[geofflambert]

I think I saw the answer to this in a thread long ago, but I don't remember it. Some of my allied bombers and patrol aircraft's extended range has been reduced by one hex in mid '42. What's up with that?

[Mistmatz]

Are you maybe talking about different planes?

For instance the PBY-5 and PBY-5A have different range but the 5A has some radar to make up for it.

Generally I don't think aircraft stats change over time, except when the model changes of course.

Maybe it's my aging brain but I thought B-24Ds started out with an extended range of 22. Now they're at 21. I thought B-17Es had a range of 18, now it's 17 (I don't think I'm confusing them with B-17Fs which I now have two squadrons of, but I'll check again when I'm in the game. I thought the PBY-5s (not 5As) went down a notch too. But I am starting to have problems with memory.

Just checked, I'm wrong on the B-17s, I'm confusing them. I'm probably wrong on the B-24s too. Please disregard.
