Well, yeah. Imagine how much harder (tedious) the game would be if replacement aircraft had to be hauled across the pond and physically unloaded, instead of poofed into the middle of Burma with a click.

I'll take abstraction for a hundred, Alex.

It was contemplated. [:D] We settled for a restriction on how many replacements in a 7 day period along with the nominal min. supply requirement. It would certainly have forced more realistic pacing. [:D]

Hey, if you want realistic pacing, just model repair parts. As a former supply officer I happen to know we could stop any war in its tracks in a week. Or less. Sometimes on purpose. Sometimes just because we feel . . . meh.[;)]

The aircraft transfer buttons assume the planes fly off the deck (or land on the deck if transfering too the carrier)

If the carrier in question can't do air ops you can't use those features.

But if your carrier is docked and you transfer they end up in the base disassembled. I think I read somewhere that if you transfer them while docked it's assumed that they're moved via crane. It'd be a nice change I think if we could transfer airgroups off heavily damaged CV's while they're docked and have them moved via crane like they are now with an undamaged docked CV.

naw....i came up with a better solution.

Groups on damaged ships in a docked TF can transfer (by crane).

However, I used the wrong array when checking ships disbanded in port for the same movement. Behavior should be the same, but isn't.

Will be fixed in the next CODE patch (no time frame at this time).

For now, I think you will need to do the transfers before disbanding the TF. Or maybe forming a TF with the damaged CV and then doing the transfer.
