TBDs refuse to return to their carrier from Brisbane.

Lady Lex was damaged (damage level < 50) and now is anchored in Brisbane, being repaired; her air group was transferred to Brisbane airbase several days ago. Yesterday I’ve decided to move her air group back to CV, Wildcats and 2 SBD squadrons were transferred back to the ship without any problems, but TBDs stuck. Squadron’s list of available ships to transfer was empty. I transferred them to Rockhampton and from there they can move back to their CV. I simulated this situation with editor, results were the same. Anybody else experience problems with transferring air units from Brisbane to CV?

I’ve sent that save file to you. Thanks for such fast response!

btw, I have all saves files right from the start

I've had the same problem, U2. Japanese torpedo planes refuse to go back to their carrier from which they came. I have a save which has the problem now but not one before the transfer.

A little clarification - When you’re transferring torpedo planes from airbase to carrier in the same hex, carrier must be in TF, otherwise they won’t move. This bug occurs only when CVs is anchored.

Does'nt matter. I formed the CV's into a task force and undocked them, but left them at the hex. STILL can't put the planes back onto the carrier. :mad:

I can. Wait a couple of days, they must transfer then. May be this bug connected with op. points for transferring operations?

Hey Soul

I would like to look at your file as well

Well, when I made the CV's in a task force and undocked them, but left in the hex, THEN i could move the planes back to the carrier. Only Torpedo planes have the bug of not being able to put the planes on the carrier unless it's in that form. Can this be added to the list?

I'll ad that it's the same thing for IJN torp planes. Should be fairly easy for me to get a save file on my own when I think about it:) But since I am lazy by nature you should have done it for me;) :D

Wonder if you exceeded the allowed operations for a
carrier deck with the Wildcats and SBDs for THAT turn???

(Looking at wall to see if it stuck!) ;)

That is not it.
