It looks like a 10-11 (leaning slightly more to the 11 side with Kamikaze). The Do 217E and Peggy seem to be the most comparable stat-wise and costwise.

If the range-1 attack is only going to be 1 die at most, we probably should not weight it a lot, since, 13 points is a bit steep for 3 "unblock-able" torpedo dice in 4 turns, since that is what you get beyond the normal 8/2 with 5/8/1. I would lean towards 12 or 11.

With the ranged torpedo attack... boosted by an Emily, it takes a full strike package (3 Jills) to expect 1 hit (on average). Since people think throwing 2 dice at range 1 is too much for this plane and had to make a new SA to nerf it... you'd need 6 of these things to get the same statistical result.

So, assuming that's crazy talk, you have a 50% chance of getting 1 hit with 3 of these planes at range-1. Hardly overwhelming.

8 bomb dice averages 5-6 hits, so it's no threat to BBs that way. Certainly a rare hit could occur; more likely you're going after cruisers, destroyers or carriers (if you can get through that AA).

I dunno, looking at the various factors and math, I can't see taking this at 13 points. I don't usually fly Jills off the land base, but they'd be better in every respect than this at 1 point more. Or, for 3 points LESS, take an Emily that can fly every turn and do almost as well... a self-spotting Emily will drop 7 bombs or 2 TT, and can drop 3 ASW as well.

So, I think we have a couple of options here.

1) Just reduce the cost to 11 or 12

Weeds original proposal:

Ranged Torpedo Attack - This unit's Torpedo attack has range 1. This unit rolls one less attack die when making Torpedo attacks at range 1.

Ranged Torpedo Attack - This unit's Torpedo attack has range 1. When this unit makes a range-1 Torpedo attack, it can’t benefit from the Scout Planes ability.

Weeds next revision proposal:Ranged Torpedo Attack - This unit's Torpedo attack has range 1. When this unit makes a range 1 attack, that attack can't benefit from Special Abilities.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the things to further consider is the maneuverability, training and number of craft on a Jill squadron vs a Francis squadron.

I think the distance attack should be nerfed a bit just because of that. A squad of 3 bigger bombers that didn't have the same level of training as 25 smaller, specialized torp bombers shouldn't pose the same threat

I don't have an issue with lowering the cost, though, now that ive looked closer at things

By that logic, should the Spar have a 3 TT with Finish and Swarm?
