But could she be armed with 75mm Single Purpose gun?

In my army, "SP" is nomenclature for "self-propelled"..

True - but in the NAVY SP = single purpose. There are many ships with SP 75mm guns - which is why it exists as a device. In this case we need to check it out - unless it is an old CL it will have DP guns.


Thank you..I am extremely savvy to all things "grunt" related, ACW, early 20th century up to SEATO days, but I know near zilch of naval terminology, (as this example proves.)

Air squadron 1077 ("ROC 1/1 Bomb Sqdn") operates the IL-4C/DB-3F level bomber. The weapon loadout of this group is a 18in MkXII torpedo. This seems a bit weird for a chinese air group. In case the loadout is correct maybe a "(T)" should be added to the squads name to keep it consistent with other special loadout groups.


Actually it isn't. The loadout is 4 x 100 kg bombs. For some reason most games show the default loadout for the aircraft itself - which in RHS need not be the same as all air units using the plane. But in MY games - using the latest Matrix patch - the UNIT loadouts are shown. I put in the loadout indicator in the unit name because this didn't happen - and I cannot explain why now I see the unit loadout? But in the editor you can see it - and I checked.

Just to be safe - what scenario? I didn't check them all - and they all should be the same.

This is patched to 1.806 and RHSCVO 7.7893. This unit starts the game flying the ROC SB-2. Loadout is correct then. I ordered the squad on Jan/5/42 to operate the IL-4C/DB-3F, at this very day the loadout switched to the torpedo.
Upgrading to the B-25C/D it would get the 500lb bombs, downgrading from there back to the IL-4C/DB-3F it carries the torpedo again.

If you gained knowledge through the forum, why not putting it into the AE wiki?

OK - THAT makes sense.

Nothing I can do about it - IF you upgrade an air unit it will ALWAYS go to the default loadout for the plane type.

In this way a player may "convert" a unit from one type of loadout to another for the SAME plane -

if you don't like AP or ASW (or some other armament) on a bomber - convert it to a different type - and then convert it back (you can do
that on the same day) - and you will get GP loadout (assuming that is the norm for the type - which is shown under the plane type).

Boy, here's a new one..I am playing RHSCVO ver 7, and in late 9/42, I have given orders for the 29th FA to move by land from Karachi to Rangoon. Over the last 5-6 days, it has repeatedly started from Karachi, gone maybe 5-7 hexes down the railroad track, and on the next day, it is back in Karachi, ready to resume the same trip all over again.

I finally corrected this by going to Karachi and giving the LCU's there fresh orders..

I suspect this might have happened in vanilla, or any mod, just a strange happening.
