Is there a way to make the Leigh Light work better at night time? Meaning only improve stats at night.

Is it intentional that you can place multiple nose mounted weapons on the plane? I would think that there would be a limit of one nose mount module per plane.

Have you thought about adding wing type to the designer? You already have engine type and cockpit type.

I don't think I can make a module only work at night.

Yes, multiple weapons in the nose is intentional. Many planes in WWII had multiple weapons in the nose: Me 210, P-38, B-25, etc.

I have thought about wing design. In fact, I did extensive research on it, including all the different airfoils each country used and their benefits. I read several university studies on the matter. The overwhelming conclusion was that wing design and airfoil design did matter somewhat but only in a broad way and not enough to affect anything on the scale of HoI4. However, some of my findings were interesting enough to include in National Focus trees or MIO's where the differences in design choices can more intriguingly be handled.

Thanks!

Any idea how one can make the German Heinkel He 115 naval bomber? It doesn't seem to fit into any airframe well. It had long range, floats, etc. It was a floatplane not flying boat.

The Better Mechanics : Extended Projects mod has some interesting stuff in it that might make sense to add to your mod.
