Lee,
I guess you won't incorporate the ADC feedback I e-mailed to you
yesterday evening before next weekend? Was planning to download
and print the latest files but if you plan to update very soon
I'll rather wait. Thanks!

Sorry, I hadn't realized there was more ADC feedback to come.
Yes, I won't be getting to your latest file until the weekend.
So, do you want to grab the latest and review those?

Sure, I will.
(Just for the record, the file I e-mailed you yesterday evening
was a review of the changes you incorporated Saturday to the
ADCs, i.e. the things you missed/overlooked in my -- admittedly
long -- list of comments).
By the way, do you confirm the Mosquito FB Mk.VI ADC in Eagles
should NOT have the Low Drag ability?

No Low Drag was how it was playtested in Bad Landfall. I
wondered if it should be considered to have low drag too, but I
figured at least the rockets had to be mounted externally on the
wings and I assumed that was the case with a normal bomb load
too.

The FB Mk.VI commonly carried a mixture of internal and external
loads. Usually with only part of the internal bomb bay used for
ordnance. On reflection it shouldn't qualify for the Low Drag
ability, though the B Mk.IV should.

I was asking because of this snippet from the ADC Creation
booklet:
"Low Drag. Bombers with internal bomb stowage can qualify for
the Low Drag ability. This is handed out judiciously, and
generally to high-speed bomber types, so that it applies to the
Pe-2 and Mosquito, but not to the He 111H."
I wondered that if the Mosquito B Mk.IV ADC qualifies for the
Low Drag ability, why the FB Mk. VI ADC does not? They have the
same Bomb rating, after all...

Ooops, sorry for the cross-posting. Explanation noted. ;)

Vincent, I've been through your latest round of feedback. All
great stuff! Two notes:
(1) Yes, the 'Chupete' I-16 was screwed. I've actually had to
re-rate that variant completely, after looking up the
performance of the F-series R-1820 engines. Javier's original
suggestion does not quite fit with the rating system, so I've
de-rated the top altitude to my best finger-in-the-air guess,
which is still pretty good and should fit the scenario in which
that variant appears.
(2) I've accepted all your changes except for two:
- The Blenheim change simply didn't fit the space--switching the
text around took up an extra line, which the ADC doesn't have. I
can live with the inconsistency in the order of information.
- Your proposed Lancaster variant information didn't scan well,
so I kept it as-is
Hope that's okay.

Announcement:
I have just updated the ADCs again. Please follow these
instructions:
(1) These changes are almost entirely small errors and typos,
with one notable exception: the I-16 'Chupete' variant.
(2) If you are not Vincent or Karl, then ONLY grab the Blitz ADC
file. Note that the data for the I-16 ‘Chupete’ variant has
changed; please update this card. You don’t have to grab any of
the other files as there are no data changes on them—only fixed
typos.
(3) Vincent and Karl (and any other folks who fancy proofing the
cards) should grab all the new files.
(4) the Eagles file was not updated, so no need to grab that if
you already have it.

That performance deop of the previous Chupete at altitude 8-9
was exotic, but I never thought of asking if it was intentional
:-) It hasn't affected my plays with it.
