Pauls

[rev rico]

I wonder if anyone can help. I am playing Scn 1 (partial beta upgrade). When I tried to fly my floatplane DB Paul unit to a ship; none show up on the screen. I have an empty CS in a TF in the same hex but it doesn't come up .... actually nothing does.
Any ideas?
Are Pauls able to fly from CS ships?
Or is this a bug?

Thanks
Bob

First check if the squadron is not restricted. [R]

[rev rico]

They are not restricted. They were at Truk, but just got slaughtered defending Wotje.

Pauls are listed as Dive Bombers, they will not transfer to a CS. They would have to go on a CV/CVL/CVE or at a base.

I thought this too, but having "float" attribute makes them deployable iirc - (I might be wrong in this as I've got the FLU & I just sent my B-25's into a hornets nest V Nemo[:-]). Could be just a docking thing if the ships are in the same hex[&:]

I thought being 'float-capable' would have allowed this, but the code specifically targets FP and FF as the only types allowed on ships.

There are some large float capable planes (Emily for instance) that would make just using 'float-capable' off-balancing.[:D]

Maybe something to think about in future.

Thanks for clarifying Michael. Emily's on SS's [:D]

Bummer! So I can't load up a CS with float fighters, Pauls, and Seirans.

Well you could mod it ... I know - just saying [;)]

You can transfer float fighters (FF) and float plane (FP) to CS.

But there's a Seiran case. Float equipped but essentially a torpedo bomber in game.
It arrives at some SSs but is not a FF nor a FP. Will not be able to transfer between different ships and/or between base/ship? [&:]

Yes, I have one filled with Rex's. It was the DBs & TBs that was the cool factor.
Thanks for letting me know before I invested too much in prepping.

Hmm... Rev Rico, there's not many squadrons that upgrade with Pauls in my game... But "Mogami-2" is one example.
Have you tried to "trick" it by sending the squadron equipped with FP and then upgrade it only when aboard? [&:]

Will the upgraded DB (Pauls) and TB (Seiran) squadrons fly from CSs or other ships?

Yes, mine is the Mogami-2. I will experiment with upgrading while aboard.

[obvert]

If the Paul is a DB but also can fly from level 0 base, can it run bombing missions from those bases or must it be at a level 2 base?

I was about to post the same - those I400 boats are great. I assume they come on with them.

seems to me that all FP need some sort of restriction on the ships they can go on to make things accurate - like SS can only take Glen and Seiran. Emily and Mavis only on bases. But did not one of the AV carry an Emily?

Akitsushima was desinged as flying boat tender that could maintain and repair big flying boats, but I don't think she carry them.
