It will upgrade, just takes time

There isn't a fragment somewhere, or a destroyed bit is there?

No, no fragment.

According to Alfred, and my experience, it won't upgrade.

I will issue the same challenge I did Ranger Joe....upgrade a squadron that is to be perm withdrawn, with less planes in the pool.

I have never done it...Alfred says it is hardcoded...

Nobody else finds the elusive Japanese...still masters of the night!

An Sboat puts a torpedo into the light cruiser Raleigh, which aborts there mission. All my task forces, except for the PT boats had settings of safer and low so they would hopefully not dither and be nailed by the KB or the Yamato.

Sweeps commenced over Rabaul...Corsairs are like a hot knife thru butter! :lol:
