ORIGINAL: gunnergoz I find it silly that the US can end up with combat units made up of captured Japanese fighters. While there were individual captured and refurbished specimens of both German and Japanese aircraft flown by specialized technical evaluation units, no Americans ever fought the Japanese while flying captured Japanese aircraft. True, they didn't use the captured Japanese fighters in combat, but it would be possible, although an absolute stretch. Mostly, this sort of thing happened in Europe, where the Germans used captured French or Czech equipment--second hand stuff to fill the gaps. But, I don't mind it in this game. Adds flavor, just like making the Ise into a viable battleship/carrier combination is sort of cool. In reality, that thing could launch, but I don't think it could recover aircraft. But ... with any Panzer Corps-like game, we're in the realm of "beer and pretzels" gaming, so I think it's all good.
