Long Campaign Damage - 8/21/2005 9:19:10 AM

Status: offline 		I am playing the Long Campaign using SPWaW 8.4

After a while I started noticing that my tanks are starting battles missing some of their secondary weapons (CMG, BMG, etc.). For example the PzKpfw-IIIh should have two machine guns in addition to the 5cm L/42 main gun. Some of my PzKpfw-IIIh are missing one or the other machine gun, and I even have one that is missing BOTH machine guns.

I have tried clicking Fix All and individually clicking Fix on every unit between battles. This does not help repair the weapons.

I have also tried WAW ED on the savegame file. When I view the unit it lists all the weapons the tank should normally have. I can change the weapons around, but when I load the game my machine guns are still missing.

This is what I tried in WAW ED:
File - Locate OOB Files
File - Load WAW Scen/Save File
Unit Data
Click on Weapon I want to change
Click on Weapon I want from pop up box (tried using same or different types of CMG, BMG, MMG, etc.
Click Select
Click Retain
File - Save WAW Scen/Save File

All my units have Zero damage but the tanks are still missing some machine guns. In fact none of my weapon changes appear when I enter the battle. I haven't tried changing any other stats yet.

I am running out of ideas other than rebuying every tank that is affected. Any suggestions?

Status: offline 		baevans99 did mention that he had clicked Fix All button. I have not played the long campaign as Germans since ver 8.0 and I don't know what this problem is. My tanks were anyway repaired, but I lost only Pz II's to Polish arms. Dunno...

Status: offline 		Been playing germans from 8.3 and updated to 8.4 ( I believe I started on 8.3 anyway) I am in February 1943 and have not seen this problem. I am the Germans. Of course my tanks upgrade as noticably better ones come along.

I did not upgrade from PZ III H except leader section and one platoon to Js's. I did not go to PZ IVF2(s) . My force now consists of 3 companies of Tanks ( Hqs section Tiger) one platoon tiger, 3 platoon PZIV ( I think G).

I will watch for this condition.

Status: offline 		Sorry about the delay in replying, work got a little hairy this week.

I am pretty sure I clicked the Fix All button but it is possible I forget after one of my battles. I will assume that is the problem and see if any other units down the line have this problem.

I usually have a lot of "old" tanks in my force because I generally only upgrade a tank if it was destroyed. These tanks have probably been with me for a few battles.

I appreciate your advice.
