Questions for Soviet fleet (VAS)

Burger

Cosmic Mongoose
The Soviet aircraft section gives details of three craft, but does not give the priority level or how many flights per wing. They are:
- Polikarpov I-16
- Ilyushin IL-10
- Sukhoi Su-2

Is this an omission or are these aircraft only available when bought with a Carrier?

Also the Gangut has a "P" Turret, is this like a Q turret or is it a typo of "B"?

Gangut has four turrets, one forward, one aft, and two amidships, so I think P is the same as Q, rather than a typo.

Rather than waiting and moaning you could always have PM'd the author (I don't look here very often) :)

No offence DM, I know you've put in all the work on these fleets and its fantastic that people like you are out there show such dedication. But this is a Mongoose product, S&P is published by Mongoose, and they have in the past been known to substantially change people's submissons before publishing them. Comparing your PDF stats to the ones published, just on the first 3 ships I can spot some quite drastic differences:

Gangut:
- Damage value changed
- No mention of secondary AD increase in 1944+
- Torpedoes are totally different

Archangelsk:
- Radar
- Range of main guns
- Secondary AD
- AAA AD

Sovietski Soyuz:
- Main guns range
- Main guns SAP not AP
- Secondary range

The stats I put on my viewer are meant to be as "official" as possible, mainly intended for use in tournaments. That means I have to put on the official Mongoose version of the stats. So although you are the original creator, the published version of the stats is quite different to yours and that is the figure I am really after. If I go around taking figures from multiple sources, fan created ships etc, then the credibility of my ship viewer as a source of "official" stats will be compromised. I know these ship creations are yours and any changes you make to them can be considered "straight from the horse's mouth", but really to be accepted in a tournament or other "official" environment, they need to come from Mongoose's, or at least S&P's, mouth.
 
Yes, the original question which still has no answer for Mongoose's stats:

The Soviet aircraft section gives details of three craft, but does not give the priority level or how many flights per wing. They are:
- Polikarpov I-16
- Ilyushin IL-10
- Sukhoi Su-2

Is this an omission or are these aircraft only available when bought with a Carrier?
