I have been a bit behind with updating the unofficial aircraft lists, with 8 new decks since it was first posted. One of the first things this week was starting to redo the Ju.88s, since I had them using the heavy fighter base, and they are officially bomber bases. Plus typos and moments of idiocy :hmm:
So I will be posting the corrections here, as I come up with them. I ask for a minimum amount of comments here; please start another thread, if we need discussions.

Unofficial aircraft V.1 errata
1) Vickers Wellington: base should be a bomber base.
2) Corsair: Deck is now the T deck
3) Hawker Typhoon to T deck
4) Nakajima "Kate" : ZJ(B) deck: no reversal, 90 degree turns, extreme SS or regular SS; only fast SS.
5) Ju.88P: front guns are fixed. P-1 is a 75mm ground attack only. P-3 is 3 37mm, so D-D/D. P-5 has a single 50mm, D/A. Rear gun is a A/A standard rear gun.
6) K** deck: Should be no 45 dregree turn or fast SSs
7) Hawker Hurricane Mk.IID is a K deck (and marked as (trop)).
8) Spitfire Mk.VI is an A deck.
9) Ju.88S-1: Deck is now the Y/(M w/boost) deck, hits 25, ceiling 12, climb 5
Given the boost endurance, you might want to assume it is in effect the whole game.
10) Ju.88D: Deck is now the Y deck; hits: 28; ceiling: 10; climb: 7
11) Martin B-10B, and also the 139WC, and 139WH-2
Deck: T(Zb); hits: 21, ceiling 5, climb 7
12) Martin 139H-3: (Aka Martin 166) Deck: ZM(b) hits: 21, ceiling: 8, climb: 7.
13) Tupolev SB-2 (and bis) now use a bomber base. The deck is now the XE deck (Ju.88 A-1).
14) DH-98 Mosquito FB Mk.VI and Mk.XVIII are now the N deck.
15) Nakajima Ki-44-IIc Tojo: Guns are C-C-C-C/C-C
or D-D-B/A (Optional provision for two 40 mm (1.57 in) Ho-301 cannons; this was rare, as the cannons didn't work very well (very short ranged, and should only be allowed 2 shots (10 rounds each) and were often pulled and replaced by the 37.5 mm Ho-203 MGs), so D-D-B/D-A
or B/A (if cannon not replaced).
I've been redoing the Ju.88s due to the release of the official ones. Also fixing errors I made:
16) Junkers C-2: Use Ju.88A-1 stats; front guns are B-C/B; rear guns are:
Dorsal gun: rear arc A/A; Ventral gun: rear arc low only: A/A
17) Junkers Ju.88C-4 and C-6: Use Ju,88A-4 stats; front guns are B-C-C-C/B-C;
rear guns are: Dorsal gun: rear arc A/A; Ventral gun: rear arc low only: A/A
18) Junkers Ju.88 A, C, G-6c, and P models: remove house rule 3.
19) Junkers Ju.88C-6c: “Schrage Musik” (forward) C-C/C, is optional; not all had it.
20) Junkers G-1 and G-6a is now the Y deck.
21) Junkers Ju,88G-6c: Ceiling is 11; climb is 5.
22) Junkers Ju.88P1-4: Deck is now ZT(b)* (also take out the fast side slip cards).
Ceiling is 7. delete house rule 3. Front guns are ground attack only; delete the A/A mg (for aiming only).
23) Junkers Ju.88D: Recon version of the A-4. Use those stats for it.
24) Me.410: all models now use the Q**deck (no 45 degree turns or extreme side slips).
25) Me-410B models: Here are the guns for the B models, as near as I can make out. Bear in mind that after May-44, all A models left should have their front gun A/- upgraded to B/A:
Messer. Me 410B-1: B-C-C/A-C
Messer. Me 410B-2/R2/R3: B-C-C-D-D/A-C-D
Messer. Me 410B-2/R4: B-C-C-C-C/A-C-C
Messer. Me 410B-2/R5: 6xC/C-C-C
Messer. Me 410B-2/U-4: B-D-D-X/A-D-X
May I ask what the X Damage Deck for the 50mm cannon contains, please, Karl?
That's for the 50mm anti-bomber guns. Also used for AtG against tanks and flak.Quote:

Obviously, it can only target bombers or ground targets.
I don't have a good rule for it right now.
Karl
Another note on this cannon; it was used at a longer range than MGs could shoot, by design. It did score several kills on B-17s and B-24s, but if there were escort fighters, they were dead meat.
Karl
26) Any deck with the modifier (db) needs to add divebombing cards to it.
27) Blackburn Roc: Deck is now Z(T)(db). Dorsal turret: 360 level to high, with front and rear arc blind spots, B/A.
28) Boulton-Paul Defiant: Use the K* deck (no reversals).
29) Henschel HS129B-2 is now the Henschel HS129B-1. Deck is now XC
Henschel HS129B-2 (1944) is now the Henschel HS129B-2/Wa. Guns are
A-C-C-D/C-C. Ceiling goes to 9; climb to 7. The deck is now ZQ(b), as is the deck for the Henschel HS129B-3.
30) Bristol Blenheim Mk.I and Mk.IVs are now the XF deck.
34) LaGG-7 (actually La-7) 1944 and 1945 are now the S deck
The LaGG-5FN (La-5FN) is now the O(2) deck
I'm gonna be busy...
All models of the P-38 now use a heavy fighter base.
My pervious design opinion is trumped by the game designer, as it should be.
Karl
A simple typo this time :smack:
The Tachikawa Ki-39 Ida should be a Tachikawa Ki-36 Ida.
This entry will also work for the Tachikawa Ki-55 Ida advanced trainer (if you want to take out the opposition early) or when it was used as a kamikaze plane. In either case, delete the rear MG.
Karl

Attachment 335126
Oh wow. Somehow I never found this one! Thanks Mike. I didn't see it on the unofficial list so assumed it hadn't been done. Silly me!
Karl, ignore the previous post of mine. ;)
If only I could find all the stuff I have done...Quote:

Deck should be ZJ (probably still a bit spritely, but that's OK.).
Ceiling 6 and climb 8 rounds this one off.
Karl
35) Focke Wulf Fw 190G-1, G-2 and G-3 guns change to C-C/C.
G-2 ands G-3 decks change to Q*
