Question.
"A6M3 is developed into a whole line of Zeros that sacrifice range in favor of superior armament and pilot protection, and eventually are officially designated as pure land-based models."

The Japanese were absolutely in love with the high maneuverability of their fighters. And with reason, as shown in the early months of the war. The need for armor was not even thought of until after prolonged combat with more modern pilots. Was this trend thought of in real life prior to hostilities, or is this just some tweaking here in this alternate reality? Not asking for any changes, just curious as to the thought process behind this.


Comments.

Thanks for the changes in allied plane production. This was a serious penalty in late game.

I know for a fact you can play as allies against the Japanese AI. It even keeps carriers in multi-carrier TF’s through the end of ’43. I have not played as Japan against allied AI, but I remember seeing a post somewhere (I believe by Andy, but I can’t find it) that it will not work as well.



FatR patterned all of his work off of the ZERO's creator so the advancements are based on historical plausibility.

Thanks for the comments.

Glad to know the AI CAN handle it!

I created an original WITPAE for testing ship arts. Using only RA4.0ShipArt.zip and RA Additional Ship Art.zip from Reluctant Admiral Site with the new kawachi/charolotte-shipart, nearly the entire french fleet has no art. For example AMc Dragueur auxiliaire (Slot 832) using bitmap 821.

Thanks for this Mod!

Will take a look at the other points...

J6M1 still has weapon type 192 for extended range missions and device type 193 for normal range missions. Kind of odd to have different 30mm cannons depending on mission range.

My vote is just change the extended range cannon to type 193 so they are the same. The 193 is slightly more accurate than the 192.

Any chance we could get a small PP bump before final public release?


Fixed.

The BBs should be OK as well. Some of this is old stuff leftover from earlier versions of RA that do not apply anymore.

This goes for anyone playing RA. Make sure you go to the site and download the other ship and aircraft art over there. Will get the French Art and have it in a folder once it arrives.

Air Group Slot 681 "Agano-1" with no location (old stuff and it should not appear)

Kongo Class aircraft capacity is 3, but in all 4 air groups (Slot 608 - 611) there are a maximum of 4 aircrafts

There is the CVE "Taiyo" (ship class 1865), but there is no definied ship class for "Unyo" #025 and "Chuyo" #026 (both are linked to the undefined ship class slot 1868). So only the next CVE "Shinyo" will be arrive in 1943.

Sherwood: Yaaaa...are you saying in the devices? I've looked there but no numbers are present for building...

THINMAN: Where the heck were you when I called for playtesters???!!!

The two air groups won't appear due to the ships no longer existing. Same can be said for pair of CVEs. The player now has the OPTION to convert large APs into CVEs if they so desire. Real trade-off since the APs to be converted are all fast, big liners. LOVE choices!

There is a build rate box for each device.

Yes, and No. It depends.

Allies: Yep, set Can Build = Yes and put the monthly rate in the Build Rate field.

Japan: There's two ways, depending.

Production = On: Japan gets all her devices based on production points. It's in the manual somewhere what it takes for Squads, Guns, AFVs, Vehicles, etc.. Pretty sure Squads is 'chunk' of "Manpower" and a 'chunk' of "Industry" (think it's LI) and maybe a 'chunk' of supply, from the Pools. So Japan can make as many as they want, but it consumes certain "Pool" resources for each. You got the "makin's" you get the Squads (and/or other stuff).

Production = Off: Not many people use this, but if they do, Japan can't "produce" devices, so the Can Build = Yes and the monthly Build Rate is the back-up method. If you enter things in those fields, for Japan, they don't do anything unless the Production switch is 'Off'. The default is the production system.

Hope this wasn't more than you wanted to know

[ed] Reason so many IJ Build Rate fields are empty is because we never thought anyone would play Japan without 'production', so nobody wanted to expend the man-months to calculate the alternative. The AI does what it pleases anyway, so it's a kinda 'nice thing' but wtfo? Was I you, I would just ignore the build boxes for Japan and go with the 'production' system for replacement/new builds.

Ciao JWE

Status: offline 		Michael and I chatted for a while today and I wanted to make public an addition I've been thinking a lot about. We're going to let the Dutch survive a bit longer:

1. Pilots will continue to trickle into the Dutch AF at a rate of 5/month through all of 1942. It isn't much but it FAR MORE then historical.
2. I extended aircraft production for the Dutch with the following planes: P-40, Hurricane, B-25, and Catalina. Most will run now until August 1942 (instead of March 42) and the PBY will go through all of 1943.

Your Dutch CAN live on through 1942...

That does not mean, however, that I am NOT DONE working on an April/May 42 start for RA....
