Will The AI Use Conversions

A couple thoughts on conversions.

Will the AI use conversions?

1. If I created some useless hulls which can be converted to AVs ARs CVLs, etc. will the AI convert them or will it just leave them as useless hulls until the end of the game?

2. If I created a bunch of AVs, ARs, CVLs etc that converted into each other, would the AI ever convert them between each other or would it do nothing with them except leave them to their normal duties?

The AI does not use conversions.

The AI can make use of upgrades.

As far as I know the only difference between upgrade, and converion, is that AI can not use conversions.

In WITP conversions tended to put ship back into production, but in AE both options work the same.

AI does not use conversions and AI does not put Land Based Air Groups on Carriers

Those are two no nos

Every Carrier must have an organic airgroup preloaded or the AI will not recognise it as a carrier.

(preferably a 1 attack and 1 fighter sqn per carrier)
