ORIGINAL: topeverest I am a big fan of 'skipping' many airframes. I think one of the secret sauces is to upgrade as few times as possible to conserve HI. Can you be more specific of your plan? It is the supplies that bother me. HI I am keeping an eye on, but really the supplies. Supplies to build factories, supplies to build engines, supplies to upgrade planes, supplies to replace losses, supplies to run missions. I inherited a horrendous r&d program, and from the get go knew the air war was lost. I had hoped to do a little better, but sadly that wasn't in the cards -- so now I have a small gorilla air force...dart in, strike, dart out. Anyhow, I stopped production of the early fighters (which was all I had in Aug of 42) and gave the Allies air control. I moved the production to research the multi-model planes and let them repair and then moved them down the line to planes I wanted: Oscar IV, A6M5c, Tony KI100i, Tojo IIc. None of these planes will give me air dominance, but they can stop unescorted bombers during the day. These planes will see me thru the endgame where I spent the farm on two frames the ki202 and Sam J. I don't have a lot of research into George, or Frank mainly because I inherited large factories for these brutes especially Frank. I probably overspent on night fighters, but if they save the industry for a few months then I didn't. I did take advantage of a lot of Val factories to get Myojo. Also will get Betty 3a very early...I worry that I don't have a decent Army kamikaze. Not researching whole rafts of planes... You will never see pdu on, realistic r&d off game like this again...
