Japanese type 4 mines

Post by vmiwarrior »

So I see there are two types of type 4 mines. I have 0 in the non production type 4 and over 500 in the line that is being produced. Problem is my mine layers will not replenish, even in 9 level ports with over 30k in supply. Thus rendering some of my cmc and cm useless. Before someone ask yes the are fitted out for type 4 mines. This is my second game this has occurred in. Any ideas?

If you use the editor, you can see the different device number for the mine and which number the ship uses. I do not know why there is a difference.

Is this in the new beta?

Ask the developers but as a suggestion, check the devices in the editor first. Take pictures and include them in you message if you can do so.

If you are set to stockpile the mines, they will not be released to rearm ships.

Yes, you have to turn off stockpiling to draw mines....GP

There are many devices which have two entries that appear to be identical. I think the idea is that some are designated for different nationalities rather than a single pool. For example, there is a separate B-25C pool for the Dutch and the USA and other Allies. That kind of pool splitting prevents minor nations from bulking up on the production meant for major players.
