Bort Numbers

[Sprool]

Can someone explain the logic behind the Harrier bort numbers please? I enter 123, for example, it appears on the nose as 21 and on the tail as 132. Whats going on there?

yeah so Marines do Side or Nosenumbers a bit different.

 

see http://www.joebaugher.com/navy_serials/navyserials.html for more info and trivia on this.

they do 3 numbers like navy or air force if assigned to a Carrier, however when they are assigned to amphibious assault ships (LHA, and thats pretty much the only place you will find a harrier) they still use a two-digit scheme.

 

so what the game does:

if you have boardnumber 081 it will delete the last number and turn the first two around so: 80

150 => 51

and so on
