so I was looking into my old WitP info and deciding if I should play again when low and behold I find a new version, the admirals edition. Yay. Before I can buy I need to setup some stupid verification thingy for visa so I thought I'd see if the bug that made me stop playing WitP is still around.

The bug I'm talking about is the one where over time unit leaders would warp around back and forth between US and Japanese forces. I was a year or two into the campaign and I had a bunch of American ships being captained by Japanese captains. A large part of the fun I had in this game was tracking down the actual historical land, air, and sea units and seeing where they were positioned in reality compared to where I had ended up putting them, and having American units commanded by Japanese leaders really killed the game for me.

At the time it was an old and ongoing bug and there were no plans to fix it, so I stopped playing.

Is this bug still around? Thanks for reading.

That leader bug was squashed.
There has been occasionally issue with leaders but have been addressed as they occur.

As far as I know as of the latest patch, AE doesn't have any serious leader bug.

Mike the new one where air ldrs being used in land units might be back in patch3 but I'm still waiting for another US Army unit to appear to verify it. I had one US army unit (new arrival that was set to have a random ldr assigned it in db) that had an air unit ldr assigned it. The fragments don't seem to be getting assigned an air ldr though like they were under earlier versions but it didn't seem to be in the beta3 patch just in the main patch3. I'll let you know should it happen in a couple more days of game time when the next US Army small unit is due to arrive.

If the unit arrives with the wrong type of leader, I can't stop that.

That was the only exception I could find when I made the leader allocation more strict.

coolbeans, thanks for the reply.
