Scen. 4 stock question: PBM / PB2Y

[DaveConn]

I am 9 months into a PBEM game, Scenario 4 stock, and I have been happily using my PBYs for my naval searches. All of a sudden I noticed that I am producing both PBMs and PB2Ys, available to allow me to upgrade my PBYs. Funny, I think, I never noticed earlier that these aircraft were going to be available.

However, when I go back and load Scenario 4 as a new game, it seems that these aircraft (PBMs and PB2Ys) don't appear on any of the replacement aircraft lists: not on "all aircraft", not on "active aircraft", not on "R&D aircraft." Apparently they should be in there somewhere, but it doesn't look to me like they are; presumably they just show up on the replacement lists when they actually start producing. Anyone ever notice that before?

I haven't played scenario 4, but looking at the scenario in the editor, the PBM starts production in 12/42 and the PB2Y starts out the game in production, but with a pool of 0.  I'm not sure where you are looking.  I've always seen them on the Aircraft Replacement Pool list off the Information screen, though I've never looked at that list before the first turn has run.

If you are playing without PDUs, then they won't be available for most of you Catalina squadrons...
