Follow on carriers not allowing more than one air unit

I'm playing as the United States and I have upgraded and built carriers all the way up to Super Heavy Carriers, and I can only put one air unit per carrier in a sea space. I'm running 1.03b. If I try to move more than one air unit per carrier into a sea space I get a disaster message saying that my air unit in (it never lists a location) was lost to enemy action. I've tried different types of aircraft, single units to stacks of units no dice. Occassionally, I get an air unit listed with zero in what it contains. I looked through the bug list but I didn't see this listed. I'm not sure If I'm just doing something wrong or if there is a bug. The db file lists carriers at basic and improved able to carry 2 units, and the advanced able to carry 3 units. Has anyone else been having this problem? Thanks. BTW I love this game!

I can remember logging this one as my first bug!

Yep, it long standing, and is why quite a few HOIers dont play with carriers at all!!

I believe it will be addressed in 1.04 when it is ready! Perhaps a MODerator can confirm the status of this bug?

----------------

If you cant wait, you can download a MOD from the Modified Scenarios section, which gets round the problem by beefing up the carrier stats, but alas only one aircraft unit per carrier Im afraid .

This makes em useless IMHO.
-------------------
Happy HOIing.

Carriers are a known issue

ok, thanks

Thanks for the info. Sorry I didn't notice it in the known bug list. I don't use message boards too much, so I must have missed it.

It wasn't a public bug... And it's not a real bug anyway. There are however discussions among the beta testers on this subject

DO DOCTORINES FIX THIS ?????

Following the logic, is this possible:

Naval Doctorines increase carrier plane ability.

Carrier Group Doctorine (1A) = One (1) plane per carrier.
Carrier Battlegroup Doctorine (3A) = Two (2) Planes.
Maritime Air Superiority Doctorine (4A) = Three (3) Planes.
Maritime Power Projection Doctorine (5A) = Four planes.

The notiation for these, in the effects, is:
Carrier Doctorine x (where x is 1-4)

how many people have researched these doctorines???

 

[Vulture]

Do they actually do that? Never tested to be honest. Pls confirm?

 

[unmerged(15561)]

Sorry Junghans, but while your logic may be correct, Im afraid that the HOI engine isnt! At least regarding Carrier Air Cap.

Researched Carrier Battlegroup Doctrine, and checked that a Basic Carrier can hold (2) as written in the Tech text.

Then tried to land 2 spitfires and it didnt work. Have the same game if reqd.

BTW: I had research the doctrines when I first got the game and Im sure it didnt work then. He ho.

 

[Vulture]

Well grrr... So the doctrines are supposed to do that and don't do it, right?

 

[unmerged(12743)]

affirmative and affrimative

confirm non op, and confirm vulture's concept

the third doctorine is required for advanced carrier, which should carry 3 planes.

Does this give you an area for how to report the bug?

 

[Vulture]

Yes it does I'll log that tonight
