AK Bugged

[apbarog]

I have a Japanese AK in its own TF that cannot disband because it says the ship still has troops on it. On the same TF display, the ship shows that it has no troops on it. Hovering over the TF on the map shows there are still 4 troops loaded.

This situation occurred by dropping a para unit for one turn, which became a fragment, then a couple of turns later loading the para fragment onto the AK to take back to its point of origin. I then unloaded the fragment which rejoined the parent.

[edit] I should add that repeated attempts at unloading have been unsuccessful, for both the troops that are both there and not there, and the remaining supply.

Save is available, let me know where to email if needed.

Save attached.

I am Japanese versus the AI.
TF 100 has AK Anyo Maru at Kagi.
It unloaded a fragment of one of the para units there.
Thanks.

I have another example of the same problem. TF 74 with AK Kashima Maru at Jaluit. Cannot complete unloading, shows some supply and 4 troops still loaded, but ship shows no troops on it. Did not involve paras this time.

[Don Bowen]

Oh yes, there is a problem here all right. Going to be tough to find unless you happen to have an earlier save just before the TFs start to unload...

[apbarog]

I don't have a previous save, but I will start keeping all saves and post when it repeats again.

This is the first time I've seen this issue since early beta days. Can you think of anything that you mght be doing? Stopping or adjusting load, stopping unload, damage to ships, angering the Gods??

[apbarog]

No, the first example was as described above, after loading a fragment of a para unit that had dropped.

I haven't adjusted the loads at all. Both examples have TF's of just one AK, loading a unit that fits easily. Didn't stop the unload or anything special. Found the problem both times on unloading. I'm keeping an eye out for another example, and I'll have all my saves ready. I'll go back and find what turns are applicable and get those to you. Thanks.

Thanks.

The only common thing with the 2 examples are that both loaded ground units that most certainly had disabled parts. One was picking up paras after a drop, the other picking up a unit that either landed on Tarawa or Makin.

Also, I found another AK with a problem. If you pick Kwajalein port, there is an AK Kashima Maru that shows 12 troops on it, part of the 51 Nav Guard. It has just 1 AT gun, and it is disabled. I can make a TF and put that AK in it, but it shows no troops on it. Because of that AT gun, the rest of the 51 Nav Guard on Kwajalein remains a fragment. I saw this in the turn after the second save that I posted. It should be in the 2nd save. Of course, this still doesn't show how it occurred.

[edit] I've tried several times now to recreate this problem, to no avail. I'll keep trying. Both times that it occurred it was a single AK loading/unloading, and a single unit that had some disabled components.
