Status: offline 		I moved VMF-111 and VMSB-243 to Australia by loading em onto the wasp and sailing the overloaded carrier to Sydney where I offloaded them to port. Then I moved VMF-111 by rail to townsville and VMSB-243 by air to townsville.

I'm not 100% sure what hq's these two airgroups were attached to beforehand, but now I see VMF-111 is attached to Australia Command (R), and VMSB-243 is independent. Pretty sure I probably stuck em both to Pacific Oceans Area when I first moved them off of mainland USA.

Having VMSB-243 go independent isn't a big deal I guess, but I would like to know what exactly I did (wrong) to cause VMF-111 to switch spontaneously to a restricted command after I spent PP to switch it to an unrestricted one. Thanks.

Exactly the same happened to me in my PBEM.

I have no complaints about independent because patch 1 & earlier IIRC  planes were converting to West Coast (R) when xferring off map from a carrier to a base.

I think there's a new beta patch I havn't upgraded to yet. I'll switch once it's no longer beta heh.

This isn't a major issue I guess, switching airgroups isn't that expensive. I was just hoping this was some mistake on my part I could avoid in the future and not a bug.

I should also mention I offloaded them while docked (so they went over in crates or by crane or something) and didn't fly them off.

Status: offline 		You will probably find that moving 'independent' air groups by rail (or anything that puts the group in the reinforcement queue) manages to get the HQ changed to the national base HQ.
This is a function of arrival mechanism to stop directing everything to the national home.

Status: offline 		That could be it. These air units were ashore for over a month and moved quite a bit (via rail) around to support the defense of OZ. It was not a short term stay in one port. I don't mind. It was worth the PPs to have the naval air units in OZ during that critical period.

Status: offline 		This is a holdover from old-WITP... carrier planes could (and would) switch from "Independent" to the HQ of where they were based... bad news if it was a restricted command... i suspect it is deeply embedded in the code.
