what slot numbers are used for ship conversions

[trojan58]

Could someone tell me what ship numbers convert into what ship classes

ie av, as, mle
and chitose to cvl and ise to bb cv


thanks in advance

Slot 37 Chitose from CS to CVL
Slot 38 Chiyoda from CS to CVL
Slot 51 Ise from BB to BB/CV
Slot 52 Hyuga from BB to BB/CV

These are different from "normal" shp upgrades in that they are slot specific and have "behind the scenes" changes to the airgroups for the ships. They are slot specific because the designers have chosen to allow these special upgrades only for the historical ships that actually had them and not for the underlying classes.

SHIP CONVERSIONS
(a)
Certain Ship Class are used within WITP itself. The ones I show below are the ones used when converting Large AK ships at the player's Home base.
Converting the AK type to
type.........IJN ship class#..................USN ship class#
AE............92 (Kashino).....................353 (Pyro)
AR............90 (Akashi).......................357 (Vulcan)
AS............106(Nagoya Maru).............375 (Otus)
AV............56 (Akitsushima)...............261 (Tangier)
MLE..........108(Large MLE)..................359 (Large MLE)
AD...........[NONE]..............................381 (Dixie)

If the new conversion Ship Class does not exist, the game crashed on me.

Also, the new conversion class does not have to be an auxilliary type. I change class# 92 to have Yamato's values. When I converted to AEs, I got a string of BBs in the pipeline.

The conversion class from a PG/LST to AGP is class# 384(Dixie).

(b)
The Ise conversion converts the ship #s 51 and 52 to the ship class# 514. The ships do not actually have to been upgraded to the latest Ise class, or even a BB class!. I changed the ship #51 to a Hosho CVE and allowed the AI to convert the ship. It showed in the building pipeline as a converted Ise BB class (514).

The Chitose conversion converts the ship #s 37 and 38 to ship class# 560.

Both of these conversions seem to work on the actual ship numbers not the class number. Creating extra ships base on the original un-converted class do NOT seem to get converted.

Why couldn't Mizuho and/or Nisshin be added to the Chitose and Chiyoda conversion/class slot? I've asked before but I cannot see why those ships were excluded since they were part of the 'Shadow' conversion program. The ability to convert 4CS in CVL would be a GREAT addition to the Japanese Fanboy side of things. Had they all been afloat, the Japanese would have done it!
