Easy, you make both the dive & torpedo bomber normal bombers but you give the torpedo plane the submarine flag, that way it can only attack sea units. It has been done repeatedly in the past.

I tried to combine this with the fighter flag to make a dedicated air defence fighter once (F14, Mig31). It did't have bombing capabilities, but it shot aircraft only over water squares. And ships. Bummer.

Thank you greatly, fairline! I really appreciate this this help! Now I can truly finish 'Empire of the Rising Sun' with confidence!

No problem - the Dauntless and Helldiver may be some time. Here are very slightly bluer ToT versions, agin as a lossless gif and zip:

Full 24-bit bmps in a zip for ToT:

...and specially for Phenix some bastardised trimmed, reversed and repainted in colour-reduced MGE 8-bit palette versions. They are probably a bit big, but there you go...

Some DV Planes that i tweaked, new propellers and windows,

some strategic command units that did not transfer from 256 colour bmp to gif format very well
the colours not converting properly pretty much ended my ww2 simple graphics scenario project,

Looking good, fairline! I look forward to the Devastator and Helldiver!

BTW, on a side note, but related to this thread, in the movie 'Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow,' was the plane Sky Captain flew a P-40, or am I mistaken?

It was a P-40, yep!

Good to see you back, guvnor!
These are top-rate!

Some IJAAF aircraft- all based of Curt's magnificent Zero, of course.

[curtsibling]

Which in turn is based on fairline's superb Thunderbolt!

i think a lot of our modded units can be traced back to a fairline unit,

One of those happy coincidences in life.

As is this one: Japanese troops of the Malaya Campaign, 1942

Didn't turn out too well I'm afraid
