Aircraft Capacity/Used - 4/1/2011 1:42:39 AM

Hi guys,

I'm doing something wrong but I don't understand what it is. I have an Allied Carrier group in Dec, 1943 that shows Aircraft Capacity 90 and Used 159 in red. I have 18 Helldivers, 18 Avengers, 27 Hellcats and 24 Corsairs for a total of 87 planes. What am I doing to cause the used number to be so high? It's my understanding I can't execute air operations when the used number is 115 or higher? Basically I want to know what I need to be doing to keep this from happening.

Thanks

Are the Corsairs F4U-1's by chance? they are not carrier capable and take up many spaces each( 4 each I think ).

I've had something similar but more sinister...I call it the ghost squadrons...on some carriers, I can empty all planes, the display shows 0 planes and then add one squadron of say 25 planes and suddenly the number of planes shows as 115, the 25 plus the 90 plane capacity...no matter how I rearrange the squadrons I can't get the ghose planes to disappear...and it only affects certain carriers.

Well, that would make the math right: 24x4 + 27 + 18 + 18 = 159. (That's what happens when you try to outsmart the programmers!)

My problem has nothing to do with the Corsairs F4U-1's...all my squardons were carrier trained.

For this problem you need to post a save file and a complete description in the tech support subforum so michaelm can take a look at it.

Here is a picture of a CVE with one single F4U-1 on board showing that it uses 4 aircraft capacity per aircraft.
