J1N1-S: Endurance listead at 1,581 miles normal and max at 2,348, the game alows for 540. This plane type was fited with several diferent gun configurations, while the upward guns apear to be of the Type 99 MK I series the forward guns are Type 99 MK II (depending on the varient) If radar equiped (or searchlight as many were ) the forward guns would not be carried. My referances dont show the night fighters carrying bombs, also the bombs are shwon a facing -F, I beelave 12-XT is the corect facing for this weapon type. J1N1-R: The endurance figure of 600 for this planes does indead seam better than it's relative listed above though again it does apear to be a bit short changed. C6N1-S: 1,914 normal,3,300 max miles game alows 480. Again this plane type is shown having a bomb capacity and I done beleave othe rthan in a Kamakise role it ever realy had one moch like the J1N listed above, unless this is neaded to alow for the Kamakisie aspect (if so this is kinda odd since the load they were capable of carying in these guises was considerably larger than the ones given in the game, the J1N for example could manage two 250 kg bombs in a Kamakise configuration.) C6N: See above. D1A: I like how we can have the standard and well published full bombload for this plane and we cant for the val Endorance figures seam ok for this plane though still a bit shy not enough to realy mention. D3A: Endurance is again semingly short for this plane with 914 to 840 miles given for the two primary varients (again the val is generic in WiTP) and a game value of 300 shown. As is well know by now the bomb load isue for the val is a subject of much debate. The manuaver figure for this plane is a bit harsh imo, Vals were very handy so much so if fact tehy were considered capable of dog fighting. D4Y: We again have a generic Japanese aircraft model, and the figure given for spead is representative of the slowest of the all at 343. A total of 2,038 D4Y's were built of those aprox. 700 were D4Y1's rated at 343 max spead, the rest all betered this spead by around almost 20 mph, the D4Y3 and D4Y2 managed 357 and 360 mph respectively and together represented the larger share of teh production run with well over 800 of both types being built, finishing out the run was the D4Y4 rated at 350 mph. Endurance figure in the game for this type is 220,despite the fact it managed on average nearly 1,000 miles normal and about 2,000 miles max (vared between 2,400 and 1,600 depending on model for max range). Bombload the game alows but one single 250 KG bomb, though the D4Y in all it's guises could manage 500Kg loads for short ranged sorties, what is realy interesting is depending on the source the only times this plane type managed to hit a CV it did so with a 500 KG bomb ( or two 250 KG bombs again depends on the source). Manuaver figure again seams a bit harsh. B4Y: Seams close enough though still a tad short on the range figure. B5N: Endurance seams odd only becuse I dont compleatly understand how WiTP arives at these figures,referances list from between 608 and 1,237 miles (normal/Max) for this plane the game alows 380. the Manuaver figure for the Kate seams a bit harsh at 20, having flow it in flight sims the plane is very easy to handel and was preportedly so in real life. A note on Manuaver: Figures Having as an example a plane like the Hellcate with a figure of 36 and the Zero at a similar figure is giving me serious WTF vibes, prety much all the planes above could easly outmanuaver a plane like the Hellcate yet their manuaver values are way lower, even planes with identicale manuaver figures like the George and the Hellcate give cause for serious concern since the George owns a Helcate in this regard. B6N: Again we have a generic plane type hear the endurance is agin a point of concern, with figures given for 909-1,085 normal/ 2,142-1,892 max miles to a game figure of 350. Torpedo is show as "11-INT", I belave "12-EXT" would be the corect setting. Manuaver agian a bit harsh. B7A: Endurance, figures given show a normal range of 1,151 max of 1,888, game alows 450. Manuaver figure of 22 is way off by all acounts this plane handeled extreamly well some sources liken it to that of the Zero in this regard. This plane should also have an Armor value of 1. B7A:
