beppi -> 1108c (Build2) LCU rebuild problem (1/23/2011 8:31:13 PM)

I rebuilt some lost LCU in the current game. Some of them arrived at the corresponding base but most of the units are stuck in the reinforcement screen with 1 day arrival time. I waited for a few turns but the time remains at 1 day until arrival.

Check to see if a minimal OB is available. It sounds like something lacking may be preventing the unit from being reconstituted.

For some units the case (observer corps as example is lacking and not building)
Unit should take the corresponding radar instead.

But some units (Most US ones here a example).

Did you have a save??



beppi -> RE: 1108c (Build2) LCU rebuild problem (1/24/2011 10:04:21 AM)

A example save attached.

An additional thing i saw with the last patch was that if i transfer army plane sqads to CVEs for transport they change their HQ to "independent". I do not know if it has any drawbacks but you have to change the HQ back by paying PP after you unload the planes.

Check some of the squads at suva in this save.



michaelm75au -> RE: 1108c (Build2) LCU rebuild problem (1/24/2011 10:29:12 AM)

Never mind.
I have found it. The reinforcement queues don't like 'independent' commands for LCUs.



michaelm75au -> RE: 1108c (Build2) LCU rebuild problem (1/24/2011 11:03:43 AM)

To get around the 'independent' commands for group and LCU, you will get to change the HQ from independent to another one at no cost.

Groups on ships become indenpent, unless they are stored as cargo or crated. It is not always obvious that this is so as sometimes a group could fit on the CV and be flown off. This would be classed as independent according to the code.

[EDIT]
Not sure exactly how those LCUs became independent, as the rebuild code doesn't make them so.
Although, IIRC, there was old code that I removed in patch 6 that was clearing the HQ when the unit was killed.
So it may be a combination of the LCU being killed off prior to patch 6 and the current LCU arrival code that ignores 'independent' LCUs. The later could have been a defence against a LCU being 'resurrected' due to some original coding error.

ok thanks :)

But where can I change the HQ?

You can't do it in the "List Destroyed Ground Units" screen, nor when clicking on a LCU in that list, and in the "Ground Unit Reinforcement Arrival Schedule" it's also not possible.

You will need to wait until the LCUs arrives and then change it. [Enabled under the next build.]

Thank you.

I have several units that have 2 days but never show up at SF. They are stuck and are of USFEE command. I can email a save if you want.
