German Air Supply Bugs

Post by DorianGray »

Air Transport of Fuel / Supplies appears totally bugged now in version 1.07.13 beta.

Sometimes I can get it to work, other times, German transports are impossible to utilize (either through manual selection or through auto-selection). I am careful to make sure that they have not been involved in any other missions. (Image loaded of transports that should be available, but currently unselectable for a transport mission with a target destination of 5 hexes away)

Additionally, according to patch notes, German bombers should not be able to drop fuel anymore; however, this does not seem to be consistently enforced in the code and sometimes German bombers are selectable (and show up) when toggling between supply <--> fuel modes.

In fact, I can get German bombers to drop fuel, when they should not be able to - yet not German transports, when they should be available.

Really confused on how air transport is supposed to work now.

Using bombers may still be possible if target hex is adjacent to an airbase.

No German Air Base unit was adjacent to target hex, yet I have been allowed to select German bombers to drop fuel after toggling Fuel <--> Supply mode a random number of times.

Patch notes are as follows:
3. Air transport of fuel and supplies is changed as follows:
1) Level bombers may not transport fuel
2) Only 25-75% of supplies are dropped successfully, while only 16-50% of fuel is dropped successfully (was 33-100% for both)
3) Hexes that contain or are adjacent to a friendly air base unit (that is in a valid hex for air operations) will receive all of the supplies and fuel that are dropped (no drop attrition as stated in item 2 occurs)

Nothing in the patch notes states that Level bombers may transport fuel.

I am playing an Axis game right now and I don't have any of these problems. Are you playing against a human? If so are you sure you are playing the same version?

I have seen this too. In trying to replicate it, it seems to appear only when LBs only (rather than a mix of LBs and TRs) are available. Then, I can toggle between supply and fuel and have them drop fuel.
