(a) I'm thinking of increasing the Hs 129 Protection from 5 to
5-6. My thoughts on this are that the Hs 129 has armour
equivalent to that on the IL-2 but has the benefits of two
engines. It should have an advantage over the IL-2. Also this
might reduce some of the Hs 129 massacres we have seen in the
Kuban scenario and Schlachtflieger.

I concur. The Hs 129 otherwise seems marginally useful.

If you've been following recent discussion on the CSW folder
you'll know that I've taken the decision, in the face of
evidence, to tweak the Ki-43-I ADC so that the main production
model has a Firepower of 0. It seems that the twin-fifty version
of the dash-one was very rare, in part because of the poor
quality of the weapon and its exploding ammo.

Lee,
If I understand the ADC now represents the Ki-43-Ia (and Ib),
whereas the Ki-43-Ic is a variant? (That's supported by the
"Which ADC Do I Use?" list at the back of the latest Victories
scenario book)
If so, just a head-up that the Victories ADC PDF in the Dropbox
still shows the old version (-Ic, with -Ia and -Ib being
variants).

Thanks! I'll check this at the weekend.

And while we're on ADCs... The template you use for all of them
dates back to a time when there was no "House Style Sheet" for
WL, and thus their top right corner sports "1VP", "1.5VP",
"2VP", etc.
We now use plurals for initialisms in the rules and scenarios...
So should this be changed to "1.5VPs", "2VPs", etc.?
Note that I'd perfectly understand if you were to tell me to
feck off, as this would involve modifying *all* the existing
ADCs except for single-engined ones... :-X
Don't think anyone but me would lose any sleep over it. ;D

Vincent has kindly sent me proofing feedback for the ADCs. I
have posted it up to the dropbox in the ADC folder. I'll be
going through this at the weekend. it mostly looks like small
typos and fixes for consistency.

Just going through Vincent's ADC feedback. His notes on the Bre
693 suggest I should change the designation to Br.693, which he
says seems to be the official designation. I'm somewhat
uncertain, as I've seen both designations in different sources.
Furthermore, I'm a little loathe to change the name when we have
scenarios with the Bre 693 designation.
It's a tricky one.

Ok, after some deeper research, I came to the conclusion that...
no definitive conclusion could be reached. ;D
Both designations seem to be used with equal frequency, as you
mention. I'm starting to wonder if the official designation
could have been "Breguet 693", and that both "Br.693" and "Bre
693" were unofficial designations coined after the fact...
Anyway, in the absence of conclusive evidence, the simplest (and
thus smartest) thing seems to quietly ignore this piece of
feedback...

As I've noted in the diary, I have just updated all the aircraft
data cards on dropbox. there have been no changes to data. These
are all typos, small fixes and presentational changes for
consistency.

Overnight, Vincent pointed out a couple of tiny typos in the
Blitz ADC sheet. I've corrected these and reposted the files as
ADC_Blitz_27Jan19.pdf on dropbox. If you already grabbed the
26Jan19 file yesterday, don't bother with the new one. It really
is just a couple of tiny typos, and I'm being super-OVCD in
reposting the file.

Lee,
You confirm the Mosquito FB Mk.VI ADC in Eagles should NOT have
the Low Drag ability? Just asking...
