Status: offline 		It is getting ridiculous and annoying and unplayable.... why do the airbases just switch command?? I have to spend an hour every turn to switch them to the correct commands or pay a maintenance penalty..

Is this for sure being patched? If not, game is gonna have to be put on hold a bit. Frustrating in the extreme

Status: offline 		Krumpi, I do, but I had 127 air groups out of match last turn.....the prior turn, I had just reset everything. Even with the CR it is time consuming unless you have a faster way than clicking on the air base location, changing command then going back to the cr.... is there some bulk switch I dont know about?

Status: offline 		I'm not switching air group HQs, but the HQ of the air base. In my case I have about 10 airbases that constantly change their HQ so all I have to do is switch those 10. The air groups use the right HQ and they don't change.

With CR you can at least click the location of the air base and it selects the right hex. Then clicking the air field icon in the top right you get to the air base detail window where you can change the HQ. After the change press C key to open CR again. Rinse and repeat.

Status: offline 		yeah, thats exactly how I do it and the same problem, but LOTS of air groups. I had over a hundred each time...every turn...its just annoying when I am putting the effort into being efficient and not having maintenance issues...

Status: offline 		I use the Commander's Report. Set the filter for units to NONE and then hit the AIRBASE filter. Sort by Supply Priority - or just hit the Supply Priority hot switch and set them all to 3. At the start of each turn. A pain, but the Commander's Report makes it a bit easier to fix.

The next patch will have at least part (if not all) of this fixed.

Status: offline 		We got a repeatable save of a case where airbases in England were changing their HQ. Gary was able to find the code that was doing that and deactivate it. Hopefully that will correct all the cases of HQ flipping, but we won't know for sure if this fixed all the cases until people play it. We hope to get a patch out by late this week.
