Version 1.22 (yes I know i should update!)
Japan (AI) has developed a fighter plane with no guns - shouldn't there be a minimum of 1 firepower? Have a save as well.

Hum - if that is an Intelligence estimate then of course it could be a different value, but even then I would expect the estimate to show a minimum of a "1" value - unless Intelligence actually believes that the fighter has no offensive weaponry/capability at all, in which case their department title is completely inappropriate.
Posted in internal Beta thread for evaluation.

Posted in internal Beta thread for evaluation. Question: Does rear turret firing guns only rate as 0 firepower. In other words, you have to have forward firing guns. The Boulton Paul defiant had no forward firing guns, just a four gun rear turret. |

Say rather that there were too many limitations for the day role - lack of forward firepower, increased weight and drag due to the turret - coupled with Britain failing to develop the equivalent of Schrage Musik for them to excel in the night-fighter role. |

Yup, but useless is simpler. But, in all honesty, did work as a night fighter with thirteen squadrons. It was replaced by the Beaufighter and the Mossie. It was given the name of "Daffy". |
