Knock-on effects? Like the freighters spontaneously turning into MAC ships?[:'(]

Pretty much certain that doing this would result in Carrier Capable, rather than Carrier Trained, units. It all comes down to whether or not they start out assigned to a carrier or not. Sorry, Dixie...

There is a much worse problem than "carrier capable" - the scenario would then become a PBEM/face to face ONLY one.
AI cannot ever unload air units from an AK. Sorry. It is actually a code error in the way units are represented on an AK - the "weight" is zero - and zero cannot be unloaded by AI. Only humans can offload the unit.

In RHS I deliberately have carrier squadrons appear on EMPTY carriers - to address the resize issue (these are crafted so they "resize" to the "right" size (typically 19 = 18 plus one spare) - and also because many USN/USMC (for example) squadrons DID operate from carriers occasionally while not actually part of the formal air group. Two carrier's start the game with on board squadrons not part of the group (because they start the war that way), and Doolittle's raiders start when Hornet appears as well.

Thanks for the heads-up. That was the kind of issue I was worried about.
