This only alters the .cfg and .eqp files for each IJN aircraft. Bomb loads are changed for all planes, and a couple have minor range changes based on Rene Francillon's excellent book Japanese Aircraft of the Pacific War.

A few of the DC loadouts are lower than they really carried because the IJN air-dropped DC was about 1/2 the size of the type in SH4. There are many alternate possible loads for the larger aircraft I have not included in this version (mixed bomb sizes on 1 plane, etc). I also have not included torpedo loads on the H6K and H8K because any load added will be seen by submarines, and it was more of a specific strike package, not a regular maritime patrol load as far as I can tell.

This mod also reduces the Zero's bomb load to, well, zero. Operationally it would have been very very rare to come across a bombed up Zero. The only bomb use I have ever read of (aside from a single 250kg on kamikaze planes) was the use of air to air WP bombs, not A6Ms used as fighter bombers.

Future plans include reworking air groups on CVs, changes and additions to air bases, etc.

I've tested it, but please inform me of any issues so I can fix them!

One area I guessed on was the type= for the bombs. 250s were type=2, 500s type=3, and so forth, so I set 100s to type=1. Seems to work.
