Aichi HA-60 - 6/19/2011 12:30:20 PM

Am I missing something. I have 125 rd factories working on this engine. It keeps accelerating. Currently 4/42. I have no planes that can use this engine until I get a RC version of the judy in 10/42 and the Db version in 43.

Why am I producing these? should I be producing something else?

You can produce engines before the plane model is available. Engines go to the engine pool, they are not wasted.

But! Should I be using these resources for this or something else?

You need to produce D4Y at some point any way... If you change factories back and forth you waste huge amounts of supplies. Just let the factories run, once you have 2,000 or so engines you can stop them or switch to some other engine.

What else? Only useful R&D engine factories are Aichi Ha-60, Kawasaki Ha-60 (but only if you're going to produce Tony), Ha-45 and Ha-44. Plane models using Ha-42 and Ha-43 arrives so late (mid-late 1945) that there's not much point R&D those engines.

You're going to need Aichi engines anyway, so why not produce them? Also, Aichi R&D factories are first ones to convert into production factories, and after that you can change them to produce something else. Ha-32, Ha-33, Ha-35, and later Ha-34, are the most important engines, and I'd like to have several factories producing those models.

The HA-60 engines were license produced Daimler-Benz DB601A engines that Japan had procured for the manufacture of the Heinkel HE-100 fighter planes. Unfortunately, the blueprints and the patterns/jigs that would have allowed for HE-100 production never arrived, and only the 3 evaluation units of the HE-100 ever made it to Japan. Hence why the HA-60 is still in production, it was planned to be using them in 1941...Aichi still had the license to produce them, and as we all know, they did use those engines in later projects.
