Well back in version 1.3 days of Stock 15 the George was flown by the following units (name / date entered / entry base). All size 48 groups, except the F2/343rd Hikotai which is 54 per my spreadsheet I got off Spooky's site.

F1/341st Hikotai 440701 Gumma
F2/341st Hikotai 440715 Nagasaki
F4/210th Hikotai 440915 Osaka/Kobe
F3/210th Hikotai 440915 Osaka/Kobe
F2/343rd Hikotai 450115 Hiroshima/Kure
F3/343rd Hikotai 450201 Hiroshima/Kure

Plus three groups upgraded to George's

F1/6th Daitai 420415 Sasebo A6M3 Zero (27 Max)
F2/6th Daitai 420515 Nagoya A6M3 Zero (27 Max)
F1/343rd Hikotai 440115 Kagoshima A6M5 Zeke (54 Max)

Making a grand total front line strength of 402 when they are all in the field.

Not sure if this has changed though in later patches. Some of the A6M3s might follow the standard path since the A6M3a's introduction.

Well, that's one down, two to go. [:)]

Actually, Hoplosternum's list is still accurate for the most current version of scen 15. The three air groups that upgrade are the ones he mentioned.

Hi, OK thanks. I can have 54 (2x27ac daitai till late 44 when new groups arrive. I see no reason to go bonkers building them since I have over 6 months before any new groups arrive.  (Now in a PDU game........[X(])
