ver1.25 bug thread

Bought HQ's appear at the production queue with name when its being bought. After accepting and exiting the screen however it no longer appears in the production queue?

The HQ is added after the strategy phase and before the first impulse [;)]

Naval units can refit at sea.
Submarines damage, but never sink transports. (maybe not a bug)
The icon for transports in the naval orders screen is a DN.

Right thread this time.

[FrankHunter]

Naval units can refit at sea.

Naskra, can I get more information on this one?

[Naskra]

Just select a damaged patrolling ship and then click refit.  2 damage points are removed.
Transports in port can also be refitted instantaneously, i.e. refit and go to sea the same turn. Don't know if that's wrong or not.

[Naskra]

I should add that you must reload the screen to see the damage removal.

[hjaco]

Thats supposed to be that way. If damage is to great the naval squadron will automatical return to port.

[FrankHunter]

It was half a bug (can I say that?) part of it was supposed to work that way and part of it wasn't.

Anyway, that's fixed, the US overstacking in New York is fixed, the 2 Turkish hexes is fixed, the wrong icon for transports on the Naval Orders screen is fixed, as is the US naval screen update for transfers, and I'm going to check the subs vs transports.

[Naskra]

Trade can occur in an enemy-controlled sea zone.

[Naskra]

like this:

[FrankHunter]

This is an old one, as long as the shipping survives combat they're allowed to trade.

[Naskra]

And the Russian PD Petropavlosk is to keep its uber-PD status?

[FrankHunter]

Been a long time since I did the ships data but the thing is all the countries didn't build the exact same ship designs. Especially among the PDs their were big differences. So one Russian PD (the Petropavlosk) got greater than average protection and the other, the Evstaffi, got less than average protection to represent that some of those PDs were heavily armoured and others were very lightly armoured.

The Petropavlosk does have normal PD firepower.

[hjaco]

Exactly. Try comparing protection value of the French toothpick PD with the Russian one and you will notice the difference.

[Naskra]

Exactly. Try comparing protection value of the French toothpick PD with the Russian one and you will notice the difference

It was comparison with Petropavlosk's likely foe, Elsass that I had in mind. It is in speed and guns that P. has the advantage, not armor.
Of course my real interest here is to take control of the Baltic, not get all the naval details right.

BK6583, that's right, when you load a saved PBEM game the units remain hidden until you exit the phase your opponent ended off at. Then units should appear. If this isn't a saved game and is instead just a regular you versus the computer and the phase you're in is one of yours (such as you're the CP and its the CP Activation Phase) then if your units are not appearing its a bug.

Frank,

It's me against the computer so it's a bug. Do you need a saved game file and if so, how do I attach it?

[Naskra]

just a regular you versus the computer and the phase you're in is one of yours (such as you're the CP and its the CP Activation Phase) then if your units are not appearing its a bug.

This is exactly what happens. If you save during Activation, then load the save, all units are invisible. You can continue activating if you can find HQs by scrolling. The units re-appear only when you move to the Orders phase.

[FrankHunter]

Naskra, Looking at the data, Petro has a firepower of 5 and a protection of 22 whereas Elsaas has a firepower of 5 and a protection of 14.

[FrankHunter]

BK6583, I shouldn't need a save, I'll follow what Naskra says and look at it. Thanks!

[Naskra]

It was comparison with Petropavlosk's likely foe, Elsass that I had in mind. It is in speed and guns that P. has the advantage, not armor.

I meant this as the historical case. They both have about 9" belt armor whereas the P. has more and larger guns.
But like I said, I don't mean to make an historical vs. game argument (don't get me started, please!), I'm just lobbying for Germany.

[FrankHunter]

The names are just for colour, as with the names on the HQs. The numbers and types of squadrons were selected based on trying to get the right feel vis a vis the strategic naval balance.
