AOD Patch

[mcaryf1]

I have downloaded the patch and tried it with a test scenario of mine and it seems that the Maritime Bomber still has target type sub. I am not sure if this means that the patch has not fixed that or whether I have to recompile the unit in the editor or some such.

The main effect of this target typing is that if you have a Maritime Bomber on a coastal tile and attack it with a BB unit you will typically achieve 1 damage whilst if you attack it with a DD you will get damage 5. Clearly this is not a great problem requiring an instant fix, but I presume the same damage disparity will occur if the Maritime Bomber attacks ships at sea. Its main role should be recce but it really ought to be able to Raid convoys as well and it still cannot do that.

Unless the unchanged status is something to do with my existing scenario I will continue with my work around which is just to use a suitable minor country Bomber to serve as a Maritime/Bomber/Patrol so no need to rush to fix it on my report.

Hi Mike,

Can you try deleting any existing Maritime Bombers on the map as well as on the P/Q and then replacing them on the map and P/Q as needed.

My guess is that the old data is still held within the unit but once deleted you should be fine moving forward with the latest patch.

Hi Hubert

Thank you - that has indeed fixed the target type to be bomber rather than sub.

It still seems however that Maritime Patrol cannot raid so I will use minor country bomber units in that capacity.

Hi Mike,

Great to hear and yes I believe we left Martime Patrol Bombers off from raiding for now, off hand I can't remember the reason, but I seem to remember an argument against changing them to that capacity.

Your solution sounds like it would work as well
