The jap plane that looked like a bf109 was the Ki-61 Hein ("Tony").

I remember flying the Tony in 1942: Pacific Air War by Microprose, if you chose to have the Japanese Army career. The plane always reminded me of a P-51B more than Bf-109. Although a P-51B model often got mistaken for Bf-109s over Europe.

In regards to this MOD. A version should be tabled here in 2-3 days, it will be a BETA version and is designed to bring in feedback. Not sure if it will gave you errors, but am 95% sure it shouldn't. To be honest, the air frequency MAY be a little low. It is designed to make planes less of a nuisance and more of a threat to those crazy/unfortunate enough to be on the surface in daylight hours.

Here's what may be the final change list...

Compiled by AkbarGulag, Donut, Digital_Trucker and Captain_Haplo .

I couldn't find the link, but if you want I can upload my aircraft DC mod. It makes 2 DCs, one set to 25m depth, another to 45m (which were the RL settings). Planes with DCs then take them in pairs. If they have 2 DCs, they carry 1 25m, 1 45m, etc.

Simply yes (please). I have done nothing with the DC depth, adding some variation will make the user less able to predict a course of evasion. Lurker has been kind enough to simplify a lot of the files in the air folder, so with some luck, I can stomach the change install easily enough... My clones didn't even have their own ID before :88)

As it stands Tater, there have been no changes to the Bombs etc (making yours a great idea).. hopefully this will should be easy enough to incorporate.
