I'm reaching the stage now in my PBEM, when I can change my D3A1 Val to the newer version (D3A2) and I am wondering if there is any point in doing that as it seems that the planes are almost identical but the D3A2 has shorter range. Does anyone upgrade or do you keep the old model?
On a related note, if I'm playing with PDU OFF does anyone know if I have to upgrade to the D3A2 version to be later able to upgrade to the Judy?

Thanks a lot.

The differences between the two airframes are small. They arent too terribly different. You've highlighted one, but the '2' has a better climb rate, higher max alt, and better speed. It's a tossup on which is better based on your CV strategy. If you are a long range battler, then the first version is better. If you want a slightly better chance (all things equal) to get more hits and you arent afraid of closin with the Allied carriers, then you want the second version.
