Carrier Qualified land based air units in WITP (technical trick)

Post by el cid again »

Error (and sharp eyes of WITPQS) discovered it.

Tests confirm it.

A naval air unit assigned to appear on a carrier

but ALSO assigned a date of appearence

BEFORE the carrier appears

will appear on land at the default location of the nation/service (e.g. Aden for UK, San Francisco for USN, etc)

I tried 9999 the carrier - so it never appears - but then the air units also never appear.

But (as suggested) I tried a date AFTER THE END of the scenario - and fooled the code - the air units appear -
the are carrier qualified and carrier capable - and they NEVER resize.

We are setting a number of carriers to have no air groups (because they did not) but still providing players with "change" air groups - that can go to sea at need - because they are qualified. This feature will be part of optional carrier air upgrade x.759
