Hmmmmm if the TF is on-map it should not be possible for it to be routed to the UK! The UK should only be accessible from some of the other off-map bases.

The TF home base was UK. The AI was trying to route to the home base.
It seemed to correct itself at the end of the turn.

I should have added - it should not be possible for an on-map TF to have a home base of the UK either. Again that should only be possible for TF's in other off-map bases (that have direct links to the UK base).

So it looks like there is still a bug lurking in the off map movement code.

The off map bases that are not directly linked to the main map, and for which it should be impossible to set either home base or destination for on-map TFs, are UK, Canada and US East Coast. Also, prior to May 1943, Aden does not have a direct link to any other off-map base, and so a TF at Aden should not be able to set its home base or destination to any other off map base, and vice versa (when the Med opens, those all become possible).

Except that Aden and Abadan are always reachable from each other, so I guess you mean "other than Abadan" when talking about Aden before the Med opens.

Hi michelm,
do you also observe that Air HQ are constantly disables some of its contents?
As one or two % disabled are normal, over the last 100 turns there seems to be a trend. Even the well suplied Air HQ in San Francisco (22 Mio. supply, maxed out) start to slowly degrade, now down to 91/100. All have normal leaders even in CONUS.
What makes we wonder is that other HQs doesnt seem to have this issue , as the West Coast Cmd for example has the usual 99/100 content.
I found it by chance in the tracker.
Is this WAD? Hope it helps.
It seemed to start after the update 1108m7a.


P.S. I would also thank you all for the ongoing support of this great game as I am mostly a lurker, mostly in read only mode.

Testing the latest beta m9 I noticed something odd for ranks of air leaders:
I'm using scenario 6 (start = Dec 8) for comparision with the latest non-beta version.
Leader ranks seem to be "out-of-order" for some leaders (I guess this happens for named leaders only, those with * on the group screen).

Examples looked up while running the beta, when running the latest official patch their ranks are in the COL/LTC/MAJ "range" on all screens:
Some units in Manchuria:
1st Hikotai IMAF: Leader rank on group screen = LGEN, leader rank on pilot roster = LGEN
2nd Hikotai IMAF: Leader rank on group screen = LTC, leader rank on pilot roster = MGEN
3rd Hikotai IMAF: Leader rank on group screen = COL, leader rank on pilot roster = MGEN
Example of a Takao-based recon unit:
4th Sentai Det A: Leader rank on group screen = MGEN, leader rank on pilot roster = MGEN

Additionally some of the IJ Navy leaders in Takao also show differences between rank on group screen and rank on pilot roster, but not in the GEN range (or would it be ADM then?), but of course I didn't scan through all units...

Generally spoken, I'm sure I see the same deviations in listed ranks for *-pilots in the latest official version, especially in japanese navy units but not with such "extreme" ranks (e.g. some "flying"-leaders are CDR on group screen and LT on pilot roster).

My guess is this isn't a game breaker at all, but it looks very odd to have LGEN/MGEN as combat pilots [:D]

There is no specific code to erode Air Hq support.
I have noticed in general support in HQs do tend to get disrupted from time to time. Never paid that much attention to it as it usually came good again.

Hi michaelm,

my PBEM oppent and I updated to m8, played two turns, then upgraded to m9. We had PDU OFF originally, but now in m9 even though PDU Off is indicated in the preferences settings after you load the turn, in the air unit display we found we do have a complete list of aircraft to potentially upgrade to as if PDU was On.

Do you need a copy of our latest turn to see this?

Best,

Pascal
