ORIGINAL: Cap Mandrake Wah srow down because technicar probrems but question: How much good inventory of Jury '42 Japan-mens pranes. Current inventory: 135 A6M2/3 148 B5N1/2 37 Var 12 Betty 13 Rufe 10 Heren 6 Tojo 3 Nick 38 Mavissessess arr types Onry A6M2/3, Betty, Heren, Nick, Jake have-ah factory production now. How come you don't list all your Oscar Ic's? You were making them for a long time, I recall. Your pool depends upon your playstyle and the number of squadrons flying those planes. For example, What are you using your Nicks for? Sweeps? Strafing? Anti ship? Deep bomber defense? Close bomber defense? Anti Lightning defense? Training? I am behind in reading your AAR, sadly, because quite frankly I need a few drinks first to appreciate it and I haven't been drinking much lately. Back to Nicks, You could have as few as 2-3 squadrons, one converts to Nicks after joining lots of sub units, others can be converted to Nicks from light bombers for PP. That is some of the best PP you can pay if you also plan on getting Randy FB as you can really bolster your air defense that way...freeing up fighters squadrons for offensive sweeps while the Nicks and Randys guard the bases outside of sweep range but within beast range. So, there you go... a non answer. Sorry. Here is a rough guideline...you will want to lose roughly 3000 Franks and or Georges/Jacks attriting just the Thunderbolt by June of 44. Build too many 1942 fighters and it makes having lots of Franks, George/Jack, Sams which you need in 43 and 44 in great numbers. This is also complicated by the fact that the Army AF fighters expand bigly in April 44, and the IJNAF withdraws a ton of fighter squadrons in June of 44. Edit: I guess I am not drinking enough because it took me a while to figure out what a Var is.
