Upgrading IJA bomber groups to fighter groups - 7/3/2007 5:47:14 AM

I'm in a game using CHS scn 157 and I've noticed that when the Ki 102a and b arrive I can convert all my bomber groups to fighters (helen - Lily II - Randy b - Frankc/Ki83). Anyone know if this is intended, or will I go to Gamey hell for using it?

The ki-102's are fighter-bombers so I don't think it is gamey. They are clearly ground support aircraft, given the 37mm cannon and 250kg bombs.

Yes I don't think the transition from LB to FB is gamey... if you have a way to move to a real fighter it will be another thing.

OK - I set up a scenario with 100 of each type of FB and Fighter. There is a route to true fighter from LB: Lilly II - Randy (b) - Nick (b) - Randy (a) - any fighter. Also works for DB.

Did the Japanese put their bomber pilots in fighter planes late in the war?

Yes, recon and bomber pilots both, and both whole units and individuals. Of course, unlike WitP, being a qualified Sally driver didn't automatically mean being da bomb in a Oscar etc.

Seems reasonable to me, especially when you can become a crack fighter pilot by bombing chinese peasants for months in your zero

This is only if PDU is on I think?

I have house rule in my PDU CHS game - dive bombers can only upgrade along the Lily > Lily II > Randy path. They can't switch to other fighters or other LB's (like Sally's or Helen's).
