Status: offline 		Can someone explain why my Jill factories are not upgrading? You will notice that I can already produce Jill 2s. So why haven't the Jill 1 factories switched yet?

If I do it myself, the factories take damage and I lose production.

Actually worse than that since there is no certainty that they will ever upgrade, only a fairly low daily probability. wait a couple of months and most if not all will upgrade.

I did find out that if you wait until the at least the 6th of the month, you can switch them manually with no damage . So it looks like you need to wait until at least the 2nd of the month before you can do it with no damage manually.

However, it does have to be the next plane in squence for this to happen without loss and damage. I remember skipping over the Zero 3 and 3a versions. Of course switching from A6M2 to A6M5 directly did not work out so good So now I am anal about making sure I am upgrading factories through the correct path.

Yes, but good for R&D of the M5b iirc

Status: offline 		As long as the upgrade is the next air frame in the series, you can do it yourself manually. They will not incur any damage when you do the upgrade. To verify that I am correct, make sure you have just saved the game turn file. Then, go into the industry screen "J" button, click on the Jill, then select the second generation Jill from the column on the right hand side. I have done this multiple times without problems. If for some reason this doesn't work, you can exit the game without saving the changes. But, I'm pretty sure I'm right.

Status: offline 		As noted above, I was able to do as you suggested. This issue (I think, I will have to test it at some future point) is that if you try and do this one the 1st (which I did try) you will take a hit on damage and reduction in production. I think this is because the flags are not set until the turn runs on the 1st and the date changes to the 2nd of the month.

If you wait until the 2nd (or later) you can manually switch them with no issues. Which I did . So it was not the big deal I thought it was. I'm glad I put Maybe in the title too, lol.
