ny59giants - are you sure about these points? I also had heard that command HQs could provide torps, but in my experience it just doesn't seem to be the case. For example, if you start the GC and don't give the 3rd Air Division and 22nd Air Flotilla any torps, the Netties flying out of Saigon only use bombs. The Southern Army HQ is right there in Saigon with the Netties and it doesn't seem to be able to supply them with torpedoes. With regard to the CS-resizing of the restricted float plane units - I thought restricted aircraft couldn't load onto ships. How do you get them to resize if they can't be transferred to the CS? As for the Norm, I too like the looks of its range, but isn't its service rating a bit too high (3 vs the 1 for the Jake). And, if I recall, the second generation Jake gets some naval search radar that the Norm doesn't get. If you combine these aspects of the planes, the Jake looks to be a bit better overall. Just my $.02. I was speaking about NAVAL HQs providing torpedoes. Air HQs can, but you have to go through spending supply for them. I wish you could resize Restricted air units, I was referring to using some of them to train up pilots in NavB. The 2nd generation Jakes get the radar in 10/44, but the airframe comes out in 11/44. So it will be early '45 before you have many to use. You could use both the Jakes and Norm on the same base to help out. The 2nd gen Jakes may end up on some of my BBs and CAs first.
