Liberator GR.V versus Liberator GR.VI in 43 Campaign

[apd1004]

Not sure if this is the correct forum page for this, but I notice that at the beginning of the 43 campaign, there are 5 RAF air groups equipped with the Liberator GR.VI, and none with the Liberator GR.V. The groups are No 53 Sqdn, No 59 Sqdn, No 86 Sqdn, No 224 Sqdn, and No 311 (CZ) Sqdn.

The problem is that the GR.VI doesn't begin production (in this case conversion) until 12/43, and the GR.V is the current conversion until then. I have noticed this causes a minor problem with lack of replacement aircraft for the first few months of the campaign because the production system is converting Liberator III's to Liberator GR.V. and no GR.VI's are being converted yet.

Doing some historical research, it appears that all 5 of the above squadrons were most likely equipped with the GR.V starting in April-May 43. Some of them hung onto their GR.V's until 1945 but most of them received GR.VI's in 1944.

I edited my 43 Campaign scenario file to give those 5 squadrons GR.V's. so the production system will at least convert some replacements until the GR.VI's start in 12/43.

Is there any way to edit save game files the same way, or do I need to start a new game?

Thanks

The good side: I have changed it for my half of the scenarios and I'm sure Randy will do it for his half as well.
The bad side: Editing saves is not possible but at least you may manually switch some units to the GR.V

Judgign from Wiki the GR.Vs were used well into 1944, some even into 1945.

Addl Air HQs has the Liberator GR. V in the five Squadrons you mentioned.
