Failure to load mines on subs - 7/30/2012 1:34:26 PM

Status: offline 		Hi there,

I am trying to load mines on my Jpanese mine layer subs (the 121 series).

Unfortunately, when i add a sub to a minelayer TF the game states "mines already loaded". When i check out the ship's stats there are no mines on it (a red 0).

Also, when i have already formed the TF, and i hit the "replenish from port"button, i get a message saying "I-xxx already loaded with mines". needless to say: they aren't.

What gives? Is this a known bug? How can i unload the phantom mines?

Can attach screenshots if needed.

Cheers,

d0mbo.

Status: offline 		Hi Michael, thanks for the quick reaction.

Yes there are.

Also, the port doesn't matter as i tried loading mines in Singapore which should be big enough. I moved them to Soerabaja to see if that would reset some sort of counter somewhere. To no avail.

See attached the screenshots.

I'd like to ask to my opponent to kindly ignore this thread. My minelaying activities are in no way harmed ;)

In the meantime I hope to be able to load mines on my subs soon, so hope you have an idea what could be wrong, Michael. (Or anyone else, of course!)

Status: offline 		No port damage. I tried first at singapore, and now at aoerabaja, to confirm it's not base related (imho). That was before i posted here.

I think it could have to do with these subs aborting an earlier mine-laying mission months back. The weird thing is: if i look at the ships themselves, the ammo of mines is zero (screenshot 2), but yet i get the message that mines are 'already loaded'when i create a mine laying TF with them. See the first screenshot.

The Japanese sub laid mines are their biggest ones, so it would be a shame not to be able to use them.

Anyway, the above is why I think I am not dealing with a game mechanic, but a (small) bug.

Cheers,

d0mbo.
