Carrier Qualified land based air units in WITP (technical trick)
Posted: Mon Jul 30, 2007 1:28 am
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.
