Number of aircraft
 

I couldn't find this with the search engine.

I find the number of enemy air craft in this sim to be unrealistic. To my knowledge there were only a handfull of h8ks built, and not much more of the other parasol winged, four engined flying boat. Yet with this sim it seems the japanese were pressing these birds out one an hour (a fact that only applies to the B-24).

Also, the Zero being used as an ASW plane is not correct.

How do I reduce the sheer numbers of air patrols in this game. From what I have read the skippers dealt with aircraft only very rarely, maybe one air alert every two days or so. In Submarine! there is no mention of japanese air patrols. I wanna kick the level of air patrols waaaay down, to more historically acurate levels.

go to the Land file of the game
 

Where is the number of planes shown in these files. I only see unit type or something, no number controller of any kind.

sorry about that it is in the CFG file for each Air Base
 

Change the number I have high lighted for you in the CFG file for each airbase. This is my set up now for my own game with the Large Airbases I have 2 Zero's per every bomber available.

[AirGroup 1]
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19420601
Squadron1Class=A6M2Zero
Squadron1No=16
Squadron2Class=Q1W1
Squadron2No=8


[AirGroup 2]
StartDate=19420602
EndDate=19430601
Squadron1Class=A6M2Zero
Squadron1No=16
Squadron2Class=G4MBetty
Squadron2No=4
Squadron3Class=Q1W1
Squadron3No=4

Brilliant! I will try this asap

215 H6Ks were produced, and 167 H8Ks were produced.
