jonreb31 -> Air HQ splitting when transported (1/29/2014 7:35:50 AM)

Hey Everyone,

I'm in an early 1942 game running the official patch and this has happened a few times now. I transport via amphibious-mission transport ships an Air HQ to a desired base and upon arrival the unit is split into two parts. A remaining division of this unit stays at the base with the shorter end of the stick.

e.g 3rd Air Div /1

This means the air HQ loses it's torpedo ordnance and the main part of the unit is sent into reinforcement delay for 45 days or so. However, the aviation support stays intact more or less. As a note this has happened even with an Air HQ landed on an already occupied base, not involved with the amphibious invasion.

Interested in knowing what's causing this, whether it's WAD, and if there's a fix.
Take a look at the photos.

This means the air HQ loses it's torpedo ordnance and the primary unit is sent into reinforcement delay for 45 days or so.

Interested in knowing what's causing this. Is it WAD?

I'm assuming you have given the TR enough time to complete the air transfer. Note that Motorised support cannot be air transported. Where's it being transferred from?

Hey Chris,

I just edited my post with some clarifications. The Air HQs arrive via amphibious-mission ships.

Also, to my knowledge transport with aircraft would create this effect, but the main unit would stay on the map.

This issue with some units being split into parts and the main part going into the reinforcement queue has been addressed in one of the beta patches from MichaelM.
As you are running the official patch, there is absolutely nothing you can do except upgrade to latest beta.

If it counts, it happened to me in a game too and when I upgraded to beta patch it was all ok.

Can't find the exact line in the changelog right now, but it's there.

This is (was) a serious bug. I lost 4 times the torpedo support this way in my early game.
Saved my opponent many ships. MichaelM fixed this in the beta as setloz said.

If i remember right this happened only if i embarked the HQ with first wave against a enemy base.
As a workaround i put the HQs in a siggle TF and let them unload after the base was captured.
