Ground Attack Bombers not building despite Aerial Warfare Research Level 2

[Chuske]

I'm playing Call to Arms as Central Powers on steam with latest updates. I completed all Aerial Warfare research up to level 2 for Germany and managed to build one Ground attack bomber but cannot build another as the text has turned red saying needs Aerial Warfare research but it's maxed out?

I'm playing with soft build limits on, will atach a save in case this is a bug.

This is correct, as the Build Limit increases by 0.5 per level, so at level 2 one Ground Attack Bomber can be built.

The research is capped there, though in principle (i.e. if one allowed it to go to level 4) then a second could be built.

However, because its Build Limit is controlled by research, even with Soft Builds on, no further units can be built. Otherwise players could deploy them at any point in the game, i.e. right from the start.

Thanks for the response, the game is confusing due to the "Requires Aerial Warfare Research" the build limits mechanic isn't communicated to the player clearly. It's also confusing as there is a 2nd and 3rd unit in the "Set name" section.

I think the game would be clearer if the "Requires Aerial Warfare Research" text was replaced by "At research build limit" or something along those lines in this situation.
