Escort Carrier over allocation bug
Posted: Sat Apr 26, 2003 7:55 am
The old CVE airgroup over-allocation bug is still there in 2.3.
The game engine will consistently allocate additional aircraft to the squadrons assigned to escort carriers until the total aircraft embarked exceeds the capacity of the ship. At this point all aircraft operations cease. This makes CVEs effectively useless (except as targets).
The problem is especially bad around dive bomber squadrons. They appear to want to have 18 aircraft assigned - regardless!
I hope this problem can be addressed and I especially hope is does not reappear in WITP.
