Re: GURPS WW2 Air Combat?
/raises hand
Just delving into the WW2 book and I am having oodles of fun with it. Two questions:
1) Re: aerial engines. How do I determine the cost for these? The instructions tell me to multiply the cost by x5, but doing so makes -- for example -- the Zero's engine cost more than the listed price for the Zero. Do I multiply a turbocharged gas engine by x5 *instead* of x2? Or do I just shrug and accept that Imperial Japan could build things more cheaply than my fictional military-industrial complex can?
2) One of the most important features of any period-correct combat aircraft is its service ceiling. Both GURPS Vehicles and the WW2 book appear to gloss this over. Are there rules for establishing a service ceiling for prop aircraft in some other supplement? something that factors in speed and lift area, perhaps?
