In the Kawasaki Ki.45 painting thread, Jager/Karl exposes that 15 meters is the limit of single fighter and heavy fighter base :
wingspan and length (meters) :
Nakajima B5N2 Kate : 15,5 / 10,3
Nakajima B6N2 Jill : 14,9 / 10,8
According to these dimensions, do you think the B5N2 Kate would have a heavy fighter base and the B6N2 Jill a single fighter base ?
Or as the B6N2 Jill is quite close to the Kate, it could also have a heavy fighter base ?
On a HF base, the B5N2 Kate would look like the Ju.88 A-4, being the smallest plane on a medium bomber base.
And on a single fighter base, the B6N2 Jill would look like the Do.17 Z, being the largest plane on a heavy fighter base.
Here is a picture comparing the limit between single fighter / heavy fighter / medium bomber bases :
Aichi D3A Val : 14,4 / 10,2
Messerschmitt Bf.110 : 16,25 / 12,1
Dornier Do.17-Z : 18 / 15,8
Junkers Ju.88 A-1 : 18,4 / 14,3
