If you want to add an anti-tank as a reinforcement to Germany, you'll see it is not possible to provide free anti-tank levels to it.
This is caused by reinforcements units being limited in level to the **current* national level in a given tech. I don't see a benefit to this feature [;)]

Let the designer do what he wants ! If I want to add a Stug (level 3 AT) in January 43 for Germany and then a JagdPanther (level 4 AT) in 44, let me do that. There is no adverse effect to allow that to the scenario designer I believe.

Thanks [:)]

PS: I realize this might not be the right forum. I started writing it as a bug then figured it is a 'feature'... move the thread if needed.

Hey Pocus,

If you are referring to the Editor and the Production Queue screen, there is a tick box that says 'Full Research (Upon Arrival). If you tick this off it should more or less give you what you are after here I would think.

Let me know if this helps,
Hubert

Hi Hubert,
Yes I know of this box and I'll use it instead of the other possibility (not currently existing). This will give more or less what I wanted but not quite. From a cosmetic standpoint, the player looking at -- very rarely seen -- silhouettes of Stug and Jagdpanther would have been nice.

Also you don't know if an unit will arrive at full research or not. So you are not particularly enticed into investing in AT tech to get the most benefit from these extra units. What you'll see are 3 Pak 36 and that's it.

Ok great and I understand what you are after, something to think about.

Off hand I'm just not sure if it might cause some confusion or other potential issues in game if units can arrive and play at a higher tech than what is currently achieved. For example I have all these built in checks within the Editor to ensure that all the data matches up and automatically corrects units set at higher levels if the level changes and so on. Sure I could reverse that, but I'm not sure if it opens up a can of worms or not at this point etc.

I understand, no worry!
