Trying my hand at modding and have some questions on how TOE and Device upgrades work. -It is my understanding that if a device is set to upgrade to another device, then as that device becomes available, units set to accept replacements will automatically upgrade to the new device. Is this true? An example: The Japanese have the Type 94 37mm ATG, the Type 01 37mm ATG and the Type 01 47mm ATG. If I set the Type 94 to upgrade to the Type 01 37, and set the Type 01 37 to upgrade to the Type 01 47, whenever I take replacements, once the next weapon is available, it will upgrade. The old devices are not returned to the pool but armament points equal to the old devices load cost are returned to the armament point pool. So if at some point during the game I take replacements for all my units containing one of these devices, eventually there would be no more Type 94 or Type 01 37mm's in my units. If I use the TOE to make the changes and do not have the devices set to upgrade, I can upgrade to the newer gun as and when I choose. Is this correct? What I'm trying to do is allow units that I will be moving to face western units to upgrade to the Type 01 47mm and retain the Type 94 or Type 01 37mm's in my units assigned to China, where the armor threat is weak. So if I'm transferring a unit from China that has the 37mm and I want to send it to an area where it will face western forces, I'd just upgrade the TOE to one containing the 47mm. Are the old devices returned to the weapons pool? or are they also turned into armaments points? I hope they are returned to the pool, so they can be reused as replacements for units that still use them. All clarification will be appreciated. Thanks.
