Hello, I am playing the campaign game and am in mid-45 and have a number of sqds which won't upgrade despite having an upgrade listed. Some are c-47 sqds and one specifically is VB-12 on the Randolph which has stopped at SB2C4 and won't upgrade to SB2C5 despite it being listed as an upgrade. I went to the editor to change it but it won't let me save it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Simon

I don't think the editor will change a game in progress. I would suggest you ask this sort of thing before using the editor. It's hard to keep track of the changes which may not have been called for in the first place. If your squadrons are in a relatively remote location or are insufficiently supported, that would explain it. There may be other reasons I'm unaware of, but somebody will come along and correct me (if necessary) and ask questions that will get to the bottom of it. I seem to remember (as the Allied player)having to send them back to Pearl to accomplish such upgrades.

Hover over the upgrade button. You almost always get an idea as to what is needed to upgrade.

1. You can't upgrade if you don't have SB2C5 in the pools.

2. You can't upgrade on board air units whilst out at sea.

3. You need sufficient supply to "purchase" the new airframes.

Also no splinter airgroups.

Upgrades have to be turned on.

You can manually upgrade too.

My guess is supply, AF not big enough, splinter.

The problem is that the sqd stops at Helldiver 4 in the database, which I assume is a mistake, since all the other carriers upgrade to SB2C5.

If he is wanting to upgrade to a plane he just created, yes, it will come in to an existing game, but as noted, must be in port and there must be a supply of the plane to swap them out..

Wish the editor would allow new ships in an existing game......

If you are playing with PDUs off, you can only upgrade squadrons to the aircraft they historically upgraded to. Just because the other carrier groups upgraded to one type of plane, doesnt mean they all do.
