No, my current game is on May 5th '42, I decided to make a lot of late war aircraft and equipment available sooner for both the allies and Japanese, hope that's not considered cheap in any way.

Termy would know for sure, but I have always found that the initial allied and IJ carrier groups had some hard coded sizing that even the editor cannot deal with. I will be so happy if he is able to tell me I'm wrong.

Looking at the historical CV air groups in the stock scenario/ironman nasty OOB, none have any resize information indicated. Also, max size field is set to Zero.

If I understand this correctly, if the (USN) CV air groups are left alone, they will follow the hard-coded path and resize from time to time.

Three questions, if anyone knows.

1 - I am adding numerous allied CVs in my "The long, long road to Tokyo" mod and editing in new air groups for them, USN & a few RN. Does the code detect these, or do I need to manually enter the late war resizes, where applicable?

2. If the code will pick up these groups, the new carrier groups arrive with their carriers in late 1945 - 1947. By then, the only relevant air group sizes are per the Mitscher plan of 1945. If these groups are set for that, do I need to set 'Resize 1 to YYMM of 4112" at the applicable size for their 1945 style groups?

3. Does the coding apply to RN carriers' groups as well? They, also, have max size set to zero, and no resize information - and they enlarge when the deck parking upgrades kick in, so that appears to be a 'yes'.

Yes, you are correct about USN CV air groups.

1- If copied from an existing air group, you will bring the encoded feature into the new air group. If added from scratch, I don't recall encountering this feature. In the original air groups (i.e. Lexington), if you were to change the first re-size to 4112/27, then on the first turn it would go straight to allowing the player to resize manually.

I did a copy paste of the Essex group and then produced the repeats from there - only changes were deisgnation, commander to zero (random), location to ship X - so sounds good.

2- IIRC, when US CV's arrive in 1945 onward, they can be manually re-sized, as the final re-size has been reached.

Also sounds good.

3- The coding does NOT apply to RN FAA groups. They may re-size at will.

This is worrying, or maybe not, because on further checking some groups are set with a max size, some not...
