I just started the process of replacing my stock ships in my missions and the USN Campaign missions, using Usio's, Collins and VN's ships. The difference in appearance quality is like night and day!
I was flying one of my own ship attack missions today and noticed that Usio's Japanese carriers are much tougher than the stock (balsa wood) versions. I dove down on her from 10,000 feet with a Stock F6F-3 (weps set at normal strength) loaded with two 1000lb-ers, slammed them into the flight deck, just aft of the island - no sinker. 3 more of my wingmen followed and put 6 more thousand pound bombs into her (JMK_Akagi Class) and she still lived to launch fighters! With the stock ships, Usually 2-4 bomb hits will put them out of action.
I think I may have to pre-damage these monsters to 75% and set the fighyter launch event to a strength trigger of "equal to or greater than 50%". I never got to see if the follow on Avengers got her with torpedoes because while engaging the fighters, I collided with the wreckage of one I shot down.
