BUG: Place repaired ships

Place repaired ships

What was promised for 1.03 - that repaired ships could only be place, where they were the repair started - seems to be working fine for JAP, but it does not for GER,FRA,ENG,USA,nat. China (still like in 1.02).That is my experience. What have others seen?

It doesn't work for Germany, at least. There have been times when I could have gotten out of a blockaded port by deploying repaired ships to another port.

I know it worked fine for a bunch I repaired in cork after I took over ireland as germany, they would only let me put em back in cork. Actually how I knew this was a feature But i do seem to remeber that if I repaired them in europe they allowed me to put them in adjacent territories ports.

Has the ability to place newly-produced capital surface ships in the same unit as ground divisions in a landlocked province been reported already? It's happened to me as the USSR. (1.03)

Playing Italy, it works fine.
I can only redeploy ships where I send them to the docks...

 

[unmerged(12544)]

No, it does not. I tried twice, the first repair started in Genoa, the second in Taranto. Both could later only be placed in Roma. There seems to be something special with Italy - strange. The way it should work, would be Genoa -> Genoa and Taranto -> Taranto. Up till now JAP really seems to be the only one working fine.

Can't reproduce it myself really.

I chose the 36 scenario furious/very hard, play ITA. Save the game, pick some ships in different ports. Then edit the save-game file, search for the name of the ships and change their strenght from 100 to 99 (now you can repair them). Load the game start the repair and wait until it is finshed. That is how I did it.

 

[unmerged(12544)]

I have just tried the 39 scenario, ITA, Genoa, Taranto, and again you can only place the repaired ships in Roma!

 

[unmerged(12544)]

OK, I have just tried some things and now I beleave that JAP does NOT work right, too. It seems to be like ITA. How to approach the problem - you have to differentiate between the continent/island where the capital of the nation is and over seas possessions (not connected to the capital of course). Over seas the whole thing seems to work for all nations fine (repair in Dublin -> place in Dublin). With everything connected to the capital, I saw 2 groups.

1)GER,USA,ENG,FRA,nat. China -> they can place repaired ships
everywhere (connected to capital)

2)ITA,JAP -> they can only place the ships in their capital (Roma, Tokyo)

What did you find?

 

[unmerged(12544)]

I have tried SWE and found out, that it belongs to Group 2. That leads me to the conclusion, that the difference between group 1 and 2 lies in the fact, that

1)has a capital with NO connection to the sea

and

2)has a capital connected to the sea

 

[unmerged(12544)]

For both Groups, the repaired ships in the force pool have as location the capital. That also explains, why Group 2 can only place them in one province - the capital (because they are already there). And why for over seas provinces the whole thing works as promised (repaired ships can only be placed, where the repair started), because they can NOT go to the capital!!

SOLUTION:

Repairs startet connected to the capital may NOT allow the unit to change its location to the capital!

I must say I like your intense elaboration. Will look further into it.
