Speed for Aircraft (for special rules that limit aircraft movement) --------- Since the max speed of a WW2 aircraft varied wildly depending on the altitude, we'll use a specific altitude as point of reference (4km) and give it 1 speed for each 15 knots, since for ships it's speed 2 at approx. 30 knots. Use this utility to find the exact speed at 4km of each aircraft. For aircraft that we don't find exact speed at 4km , we take the mean speed between altitude 0 and max speed. If we can't find that either, then compare it with an existing aircraft.
(at 4 km altitude) Speed 24 -> 667 km/h Speed 23 -> 639 km/h Speed 22 -> 611 km/h Speed 21 -> 583 km/h Speed 20 -> 555 km/h e.g. F6F3 Hellcat (562 km/h at 4km), Folgore Speed 19 -> 528 km/h Speed 18 -> 500 km/h e.g. Zeke, Wildcat, Sea Hurricane Speed 17 -> 472 km/h Speed 16 -> 444 km/h e.g. TBF Avenger (451 km/h at 4km), B-25H (442 km/h at 4km) Speed 15 -> 416 km/h e.g. H8K1 Emily (426 km/h at 4km) Speed 14 -> 389 km/h e.g. Kate (377 km/h at 4km), Ju87B2 (388km/h at 4km) Speed 13 -> 361 km/h Speed 12 -> 333 km/h Speed 11 -> 306 km/h Speed 10 -> 278 km/h Speed 09 -> 250 km/h Speed 08 -> 222 km/h Speed 07 -> 194 km/h Speed 06 -> 167 km/h
Exact example: Sea Hurricane MkIb (491 km/h at 4km): speed 18

Aircraft Carrier Basing Capacity -------------------- To determine the Aircraft Basing Capacity of an Aircraft Carrier unit in the game, divide the number of aircraft carried on the actual aircraft carrier by 25 (25 is the Wotc "standard" squadron size). Round up where appropriate (.5+).
Notice that Italian ships have lower gunnery than the rest. Also, notice that for most Carriers you need to consider only half their Main guns for their stats, since they couldn't bear more than half in one direction.
Secondary and Tertiary Gunnery ratings -------------------- 12 × 152 mm/L55 SK-C/28 -> 7/7/6/5 (Bismarck, Freddy, Nelson Class) 12 x 150mm -> 7/6/5/5 -> (Royal Oak) MK XII 8 x 152mm -> 6/5/4/4 (Warspite) 6 x 152mm -> 7/6/5/5 (Gustav V) 20 x 127mm -> 6/6/5/5 (Montana) 16 x 133mm -> 5/5/4/- (King George V) 16 x 127mm -> 5/5/4/- (Tennessee, California) 12 x 127mm -> 5/5/4/- (Quincy) 12(6)x 119mm -> 6/6/4/- (Kaga) 16 x 105mm -> 5/5/4/- (Freddy) 14 x 105mm -> 5/5/4/- (Scharnhorst) 12 x 105mm -> 5/5/4/- (Blucher) 8 x 127mm -> 4/4/3/- (Myoko) 16 x 100mm -> 5/5/3/- (Bolzano) 12 x 100mm -> 4/4/3/- (Richelieu,Algerie, Belfast`) 8 x 100mm -> 4/4/3/- (Jamaica, Warspite, Royal Oak, Sheffield) Notice that German Secondaries are rated higher than normal.
Notice that American (usually) and German ships (always) get less torpedoes than others and British get more than others. The increased range and number of Japanese torpedoes is because of their different type (610mm). Cruisers have worse torpedo rating than destroyers due to worse manoeuvrability. Also, notice that both the total number and the number per launcher matters.
