Devices Questions

Post by Shark7 »

OK, I did read the manual, and this simply is not defined.

Exactly what effect do setting the Alt Device and Alt Use slots have on a device?

I would assume that alt device would allow you to set a device that may be used in place of the current defined device.

Now then let me give an example so I can get a clear yes or no as to how it works.

Lets say that I have unit using Tank A, but Tank A will become unavailable with no defined replacement in 1944. If I set an alternate device, will the game automatically start using the alternate Tank B once the Tank As start to drop off due to attrition? If it does not work this way I will have to define new TOEs for when the end of production happens.

It's for bombs. If an AC has a default AP bomb it will use the Alt device, a GP bomb, for non-naval attacks. The opposite for GP bombs.

When I found this out I tried doing this for other devices with no luck. Rockets, MGs, cannons, et cetera.
