Possible bug on air group upgrade

[richlove]

GC / latest beta. Here's what I believe I did:

- I had AVG / 2 in Chittagong, with ~ 20 H81-A3s, 5 or so of which were damaged.
- I transferred them to Calcutta, turned on upgrade. The 20 or so fly over, no problem, and the 5 disappear, which I think is standard behavior when airplanes are moving on a rail line.
- Run the turn, see a note that they upgraded.
- When I check, I see two groups in Calcutta: AVG / 2, with 27 P-40Es, and AVG / 2/ 1, with 5 not ready H81-A3s (see screenshot).

This seems like a bug, because suddenly I have an extra group w/ 5 new planes. I have a saved game file before the turn was run, if that's desired.

Try setting the /1 sub-unit to allow upgrade. Look at the Upgd column.

Doesn't look like I can (see image below). I also think the real issue is that I'm able to field 5 more planes than before.

Just disband it. It's fragment of AVG/2nd...that should allow it to build up to full strength.

I've seen this before myself and I just disbanded the group with the old model. the planes i beleive will go to the pool.[;)]
Cheers

@Sardaukar AVG / 2 is already at full strength, I think - note the 27 damaged planes in the first screenshot from the upgrade. I'm not worried about disbanding the fragment, but I think I just manufactured another 5 airplane unit out of thin air, which seems like a bug to me.

The editor has the AVG squadrons in Scenario 1 with a max size of 27. There shouldn't be a fragment with additional planes.

Do you have the save when this happened so I can replay to see there is a bug. If the fragment was off-map, then it might not have been counted.

Thanks, Michael. I've attached the save right before the I ran the turn in question.

Nothing came out of thin air. Game doesn't understand that there's a fragment on railroad. System upgraded your unit of 20 planes and took 27 planes from pool. 5 planes are fragment of the unit with previous model. You have exactly the same number of H81-A3s.

Yes, the off-map fragment is not counting towards the total of planes in the group. Normally fragments are not permitted in the queue, but sometimes they need to be if traveling by rail/road.
You aren't getting any extra planes for free - the 27 planes came from the pool and the extra 5 when they arrive are additional planes for the group.
They should stop the main group from upgrading until arrival, or just be scrapped to the old plane pool. Will make one or the other happen.
