Now Here's a PT boat skipper ...

Post by sanch »

I created some PT boats, and then checked out the commanders. This one had a rear admiral, and not just any admiral! Obviously not qualified for PT boats, though ...

Wait until you see Quinton McHale pop up as a PT task force commander.

Hello

Sadly it is adDatabase error. RADM Sprague, CA "Ziggy" is is treated as a Type "05-ship". So he will be not accessible if you replace him because of his rank. He should have the flag "04- Task Force".

RADM Sprague, Thomas L. has the same problem. He will never accessible.

The good part is, that only 14 admirals and generals have a wrong flag. But this will never corrected.

Hello

Leader 14051 Sprague, Thomas L. He is a Radm but flaged as „05 - Ship“. Because that there are never Radm selctable for ship`s (highest Rang is Captain) and leader which are are flaged as „05 -ship“ could never selected as a Task force commander I suggest to re flaged him as a „04 – Task Force“.

The same problem for e.g. McMorris, Chas H.; Number 12359. In Scenario 28 he is Right now he is classified as "type: 05-ship". So if u remove him (maybe by accident) he seems not to be accessible because he has a rank of an Rear Admiral.

In WW2 McMorris was a ship Commander, Task force Commander and Chief of Staff of the Pacific Fleet.

There are also some Leader which have the same Problem
Number:
9009
9010
9311
10158
12359
14051
14052

P.S. I did not look at the axis side.

I suggest simply to reflaged them all to type “04 - Task Force"

Maybe Leader 16376 Erskine should be reflaged as “02 – Large Ground Unit”
