Air Transport

Post by witpqs »

Are Support Squads supposed to be air-transportable (by C-47, for example)?

Yup. And not only are they supposed to be - they are! [:D]

But I figure you're gonna tell me you found some case where they're not!

RE: Air Transport

I've had persistent problems with devices that sometimes transport by air. I think that I've noticed what the trend is, but I want to do some testing in Stock to confirm it and generate plain vanilla saves with the problem extant.

Basically, I've noticed that some devices that should transport by air, sometimes do not. It seems when the LCU has other devices to transport that turn, the devices in question do transfer. When the LCU has only the devices in question to transport that turn, they do not. I am uncertain if this happens all the time when those conditions are present, but I have noticed that whenever it does happen those conditions are present.

I've noticed this with various kinds of howitzers, heavy machine guns, and with supply squads. I mentioned supply squads because I should be most easily able to find appropriate units to set up a test and (hopefully) nail down some good saves.

Make sense?

Okay, I've got save games that show one condition:

When support squads are the only type left and they are all disabled, none transfer. Who wants the saves?

Please note I am still working to produce save games with the other condition that I have found: that some device types (support squads among them) will not transfer when they are the only type remaining to transfer, even if some or all of them are enabled. This one is sporadic and I must depend upon luck to reproduce it. I really don't want to play a whole campaign game in stock to reproduce it, but I'm working on it.
