3 potential bugs:Aircraft not sorted by type/no land movement from Karachi to Singapore/no MLEs?

Hi everyone!

The game is great (worth stepping into the footsteps of Witp)!

I just have three *minor* issues:

1st. (Bug) Sorting by aircraft type results in sorting by aircraft name

When I display the aircraft statistics
=>Click Button "View aircraft, troop and vehicle database (D)"
=>Select "Japanese Aircraft" or "Allied Aircraft"
The list can be sorted by name, endurance, ....
But when I try to sort by 'Type', the list is sorted by name.


2nd. (Bug or misunderstanding) No land movement from Karachi to Singapore?

When I move a unit from Karachi to Singarpore, the distance is 2820 miles. The "Distance traveled" is increased with each turn, but the unit(s) seem to remain in Karachi. Even when the "Distance traveled" says that they have traveled hundrets of miles, they are still in Karachi.
When moving from Karachi to Amahdabad, it works as expected. Do I miss something?

3rd. (Bug, typo in manual or misunderstanding) No MLEs?

According to the Manual, section 6.1.9.9 "Mine Warfare", MLEs can be used to supply ships with mines even in harbors that are smaller than 9.
But there are no ships of that type. Furthermore, I didn't find a way to convert an AK into an MLE. Or is the Q-Ship (ML) the MLE?

Kind regards,

Roland

I have encountered that LCU movement bug in WitP. It is a carry over from that game. It occurs sometimes (not always) when you order your troops to march a very long distance, in excess of 1000 miles.

The solution is to order shorter marches along the same route, say from Karachi to Ahmadadbad, and then onward.

And there aren't any MLE's. They were voted out.

MLE's can be used that way, but there are none in game because they didnt exist in the 1920's. However, for balancing or whatnot, players can create them in the editor.

I have never heard of the second bug (Karachi to Singapore), but then again for distances like that it is best to use sea transport. I sugest moving in increments of no more than 500 miles at a time.
