TORPEDO-BOMBER 04 TACTICAL BOMBER 05 HEAVY BOMBER 06 TRANSPORT 07 PATROL For variables MANUEVER, CANNON, LOAD, DURABILITY and COST, convert your desired value to HEX, and place it at the relevant address. AVAILABILITY: Values in these locations (after being converted to decimal) are the number of weeks from january 1 1942 before the aircraft is available for production. EG: P-51 availability address C3B5 has a value of 84, which is 130 decimal. 130 weeks divided by 52 = 2 years, and 26 weeks from January 1942, makes the P-51 available in June 1944. A value of 00 indicates it was available before January 1 1942. POOL: Indicates number of aircraft replacements available. Annotation indicates two addresses in high bit/low bit format. The F2A starts with 200 aircraft in reserve. Address C466 and C467 read C8 00 respectively. Reverse the order, and put together to read 00C8, or 200 decimal. MANUEVERABILITY: This is an area of great subjectivity, but I feel many planes are over or under-rated. For example, the KI-84 was as fast as a P-51 and more manueverable, I rate it 24. All the A6m and Ki-43 types are too close to the better-late war aircraft, so I lower them 1. The F4U is almost as fast as a P-47 and definately more manueverable, so rate it a 23 also. I could go on, but you see my rational. CANNON: Upgrade the Ki-44 and Ki-61 to 12 in September 1943 to show actual improvements in armanents. Drop the P-39 to 8 to show that the 37mm didn't work. Drop the the P-51 to 8 during 1944 to represent the P-51B actually used. LOAD: The Ki-44 wasn't designed to carry bombs: load=00. Tired of Zero's attacking TF's only to get blasted by AA while strafing? sling a 250 kg bomb (load=06) onto give them a reason for dying. RANGE: A real problem in PACWAR. Tired of G4M's getting mauled by U.S.CAP because they attack without escort? Reduce their range to 4-6, depending on the primary escort fighter range. I know, then you cannot attack shipping at Guadalcanal from Rabaul like was historically done. It's a compromise until Gary changes the .EXE file (if he does). Likewise, maybe the B-25 should have a range of 6 so it can attack shipping at Rabaul from Dobodura (Buna) like what happened in October 1943. And it is frustrating not to have a CAP only command to stop wasteful offensive operations, chopping the range of certain planes to 1 can simulate it. Enable the Japanese to use their superior CV a/c range by cutting the SBD range to 02 (and it really couldn't carry a 1000 lb bomb even that far!). DURABILITY: Really inaccurate to have the in-line engined P-51 be rated at 33 while the heavier and radial-engined F6F and F4U at rated at 26 and 27. Drop the P-51 to 28 and increase the F6F and F4U to 30 and 31. The Spitfire should also be dropped to 24 and many of the late-war Japanese planes should be raised by 4-6 points depending on one's interpretations. COST: Help make a shortage of Allied aircraft like there really was. It's hard to imagine General Kenney begging for planes based on this game. Doubling allied aircraft costs works about right, but does seem rather harsh. Compromise: Increase P-38's to 6, all other allied a/c by 1.    Games    Games
