Escorts not sinking

[Remington700]

Has anyone seen this? I am playing the late game in the 1941 scenario using the hotseat mode. I receive reports of escorts being sunk but they are not removed from play. (Also show as sunk on the battle log.) I am using version 1.00.02 but started the game on the 1.00.01 version.

My question is: Were they sunk? If so, I can easily take them out of the convoy lanes. In the early game I sank two escorts, probably in version .01, and nothing sense.

Upgrade to the new version 1.00.12 You are pretty far behind.

1.00.03 for WPP.

I have been updating as soon as they come out and have been playing with 1.00.03 since it rolled. However my game was started in 1.00.01 and some things did not change when I went to 1.00.02. Since my OP, I have not sunk an escort. If this is something that has been fixed then no worries. Just wanted to pass it along in case it has not be reported.

Did a quick check on version 3 update. Three US Escorts were sunk on third turn when I was finally able to get Japanese subs as raiders on the S. Pacific convoy route. They were in two groups. One 3 and the other 2. Lot of subs were sunk to.

So problem probably triggered by starting game under version 1 so something in the updates didn't get set up correctly. New games should work. Although, I have had a problem with the support bonuses not showing up for destroyers and CVL's trying to help out on convoy escorts. I don't know whether this is because they are only displayed as a percentage bonus when convoy attack occurs and they contribute or not. But it sure would be helpful if the combat report always showed how many bonuses were available to give you some kind of confirmation it is working.

Not really. Tried to update and was told still have latest version. Checked website and still no updated version.

I ran a test in the 1941 scenario using version 100.03.1 with US submarines attacking convoys in the East China Sea. On the August 16, 1942 turn the combat log and the turn report indicate a submarine sank both a merchant marine and an escort (first escort lost). On the August 30th turn Japan still shows 10 escorts in both the production and convoy screens.

Try again. There was a delay in syncing the files with the update. I had the same thing.

[Remington700]

I just tested this again. Starting a new 1941 scenario with version 1.00.03.1 on the April 26th, 1942 turn a Japanese escort was sunk. It shows this way on the Combat Log and Reports screen. However the Convoy and Builds screen show all 10 Japanese escorts are available.

Please look at escorts not sinking when you have time. I started a game in version 1.00.04 and the problem still exists. I sank a couple of escorts and they were removed from the game correctly. I have twice since been notified that a Japanese escort was sunk but they are not removed from play. Total escorts are stuck at 8. I generally split them between East and South China Sea later in the game. The first two losses may have occurred when all escorts were in the South China Sea.

I am playing hotseat 1941 campaign so I don't know if that makes a difference. If it is only hotseat then it is no big deal. All I really need to know is if they were actually sunk or if the reports are off. I can easily unassign the escorts. However it is a different story for PBEM or the AI.

[AlvaroSousa]

Thanks. I'm out right now so I can't look at code.

Please look at escorts not sinking. My current game was started in version 1.00.051 and the problem still exists. The Allies sank a couple of escorts and they were removed from the game correctly. A third escort was just sunk by the Allies however Japan still shows 8 escorts. They appear to be stuck at a total of 8 escorts. The same as with earlier versions of the game.

I am playing hotseat 1941 campaign so I don't know if that makes a difference.

Well, I'm sinking Japanese escorts left and right, and they don't show up on the casualty list.

Didn't dawn on me that they might not have been "sunk" after all. Another possibility is that they are actually being added to the number of escorts the Japanese have. Noticed the more I sink, the more they have.

Could you please post a screenshot please?
