I know that the G3M Nell factory auto-upgrades, to Betty in Jan 1942, but what about other obsolete plane types: Ida, Claude, Lily, Nate. Do these ever auto-upgrade, or do I have to change them manually to something else?

Thank you

Claude - Zero --- i believe it happens in January 42

Hmph... can't recall for Nate, i've started grand campaign a last year...

I change Ida and Lily to other types at the start (not sure if they autoupgrade at all, but think they don't)

I know the Mavis factory upgrades to Emily in Jan 42 also. Beyond that, I have no clue. I'm kind of curious also.

Ki-27 factories will logically upgarde to Oscar II, but as they will be useless for a full year I convert them manually in December 1941 to whatever I want (with a pool of 700 Nates no more production is needed).

A6M2 factories upgrade to A6M3a.

Lily and Ida are "terminal" planes, ie are replaced by nothing with PDU off, so factories won't auto-upgrade.

My humble opinion is that most factories will upgrade to the "successor" of the aircraft they are producing. So Val factories should upgrade to Judy, Kates to Jill, Ki-21 to Ki-67, A6M3 and A6M3a to A6M5, etc... Now that I think of it, it is possible that Lily factories upgrade to KI-102 in the latter stage of the war

Lily should upgrade in 44 to Randy even with PDU off.

You are right, with the exception that A6M2 will autoupgrade to A6M5.

In my PBEM all A6M2 factories auto-upgraded to the A6M3a (it is a stock scenario 15, I don't know if this applies to mod)

It very much depends on mod/scenario. To be 100% sure check aircraft upgrade value in scenairo editor.

One of my PBEMs is on 5 Nov 42 and I received the A6M3a this month. All but one A6M2 factories has autoconverted to the A6M3a. The other ones upgraded on different days.

Do they upgrade based on what they are currently producing or based on what they originally were producing? I would assume the former, but just curious if anyone knows for sure.

So if you converted the Nell factory to Zeros on day one, would it autoconvert to Bettys right away or A6M3a once they are available?

Converted factory later convert to the aircraft type that comes after the aircrfat type they are currently producing (and at the time of change - possible to accelerate)...

In your example your converted Nell factory would produce A6M2's until it is time to upgrade and after that it would convert to A6M3a's (i.e. it would _NOT_ convert to produce Betty's )...
