John 3rd -> Air Group Upgrade (4/2/2008 12:31:29 AM)
Hi Forum. I am debating on letting my Japanese CV air groups to changeover from the 1/3 F, 1/3 DB, 1/3 TB composition. What do people think about that? I HATE losing those Kates/Jills but can always use more Fighters. If I do go with the change all I have to do is be disbanded in a Port, have plenty of supply, and set my Daitai to accept replacements--Right?

Terminus -> RE: Air Group Upgrade (4/2/2008 12:38:23 AM)
Er, that composition happens by itself. Nothing you can do about it.

Mike Solli -> RE: Air Group Upgrade (4/2/2008 12:50:53 AM)
True, you never know when or if that will happen. I have a carrier in Apr 43 that still has the 1/3, 1/3, 1/3. It still hasn't converted. [8\|]

Mynok -> RE: Air Group Upgrade (4/2/2008 12:55:04 AM)
I must have missed something somewhere. The group ratios change at some point? [&:]

Well I am in March 1943 with Canoerebel and NONE of my CV Air Groups have changed! Until about 10 days ago nearly all of my CVs were in Tokyo/Osaka... Mynok--They change from the 1/3--1/3--1/3 to 3/8--3/8--2/8 or, more simply, in a 72 plane CV from 21--21--21 to 27--27--18.

(for a CV with 72 planes) and 21-21-21 to 24-24-15? (for a CV with 63 planes) but i don't know when it happens[&:]

Color me silly! [X(][X(][X(] I needed another beer to catch that mistake! Must have been thinking of Hiryu/Soryu and not the larger flattops...

okami -> RE: Air Group Upgrade (4/2/2008 7:32:37 AM)
It is just my opinion but from a performance view I would want more Kates not less.

Mike Solli -> RE: Air Group Upgrade (4/2/2008 2:15:28 PM)
I've had some of my Japanese carriers do odd things. 27-24-18 Akagi 23-24-21 Soryu 23-23-15 Hiryu 24-24-24 Shokaku 24-27-18 Zuikaku This is in Apr 43, stock.

John 3rd -> RE: Air Group Upgrade (4/4/2008 2:22:01 AM)
I had my CVs upgrading and disbanded in Toyko and Osaka for quite a while before they left and their Air Groups NEVER changed. I love the Kates as well...

ny59giants -> RE: Air Group Upgrade (4/4/2008 2:54:25 AM)
I hate the Kates [:@] ...the less the better. [:D]

John 3rd -> RE: Air Group Upgrade (4/5/2008 1:24:51 AM)
I do have to admit that I have thought about pulling a DB Daitai off of one the 72 plane Japanese CVs and replacing it with a CV Capable Torpedo Daitai. Imagine: 24 Zero and 48 Kates! That would be quite fun to do. Wonder if that is gamey?

ny59giants -> RE: Air Group Upgrade (4/5/2008 4:18:00 AM)
Not gamey, IMO. Just don't want to be on the receiving end of it. [:D]

Did you have Home Defense Force HQ present in either Tokyo or Osaka? BTW, the trigger date (according to manual [8\|]) is July 1st 1942.

John 3rd -> RE: Air Group Upgrade (4/6/2008 4:49:28 AM)
I did have everything in place at Tokyo as well as HQ units in Osaka. Didn't get the upgrade... I have decided that CV Akagi or Kaga is going to be transformed into a Kate CV: 24 A6M3a and 51 Kates... EVIL!
