The hurricane isnt the problem really. its the american planes or rather a lack of them. did the americans really have so few P40's in 1942 ? i guess so as much more intelligent people than me made the mods and they all have reduced allied replacements imo.

Unfortunately its made lop sided by japans ability to get all its future R&D factories cranking out early/mid war planes as R$D doenst matter much till 6 months before intorduction. Maybe really penalise japanses R&D if the factories are used for something else. Just throwing ideas around really and not trying to be an allied fanboy.

Anyway come late 43 the allies will have enough to hurt japan i hope . No large allied hammer in the first 2 years is probably a good thing the more i ponder it. and once the allies get hellcats and new a/c the huge number of older japanese planes won;t matter much as they all become targets

Actually the more i think about what i pondered earlier about allied production in line with japan doesn't work as it penalises japan for good production management , not a good thing. And Nikmod does prevent the commonwealth from turning china into an air theatre for the allies too early. and i do feel like im in a good defensive posture which is ok in mid 42. just have to be careful and fight over friendly territory whereever possible.

ok im rambling


Try 8.0. Fighter production was scrubbed a bit for Allies. (more fighters for 1943 Allies including later version P-40's) Japanese online aircraft production was tweaked. 8.0 sees a drastic reduction in RD factories. 8.0b is less extreme but still consolidates alot of the mini-factories and eliminates the free Oscar to Tony factory upgrade. Judging by the decible level of the screams, i'd say its having the intended effect.





When did Oscar upgrade to Tony? I thought it was Nate, Oscar I, Oscar II, Frank???

Status: offline 		I'm not sure I'm a good enough player to play without Spit's and almost without P-38s.
They are my main asset in the war (as Allies), together with 4Es.

Take those away and there goes air superiority till you start getting a decent amount of Corsair's.
Assuming you get to play till late '43 and '44 it may not be a problem. But so far I've always lost Jap players much earlier, which means getting an even worse beating till the end of '42 for the usual opponent disappearance once the Allies eventually start rising.
'bbbf' being the great awesome exception

With an historical Japanese production I'd have no problem. But every Jap player I faced in PBEM (and I played many!) never ever ran ut of fighters (or planes in general), not even in '43. I've been shooting down over a thousand Zero's and Betty's and they just keep coming. Not to mention Tony's.
While, even with stock production, I keep running out at least till mid '42.
If it has to be realistic rather than enjoyable it should at least be for both sides.

Anyway I guess I'll have to try iy out

Are you speaking about only the Oscar or ALL Jap planes?? If there´s no auto upgrade at all, this would mean 1.000.000+ supply points spent for upgrading factories.

Can you tell me which other ac don´t upgrade in your latest version. Would be good to know, that I can convert them not waiting for months to have them upgrade and then again months to have them running after converting them manually.

Thanks

I stand corrected then. Maybe Andrew Brown can renew the interest to CHS and make corrections to 2.09 in future...


It is not interest I lack, it is time. There are many further improvements that could be made to CHS. I am still hoping that others will be interested in helping with further updates...

So the bombers like Helen and Sally to Peggy and the upgrades to later versions of the Betty wasn´t changed? And the Zero?
