[1.17] Switching Yards strips your Fire Control

[dizzy]

I had a BC rebuilt in Germany with an Improved Director which my nation of France had not developed, I was still on Directors. When I tried to rebuild the same BC the Fire Control installed from Germany was stripped upon me switching back to Local Yard. 

This should not happen. Regardless of what further upgrades I choose to rebuild my ship with, a tech installed from another nation should not automatically be removed when switching yards. If I had an allied yard build a ship to AoN Armor configuration, would it revert back to Sloped Armor if I tried to upgrade a gun and hadnt yet developed AoN Armor? No. It's ridiculous.

The same thing happens with secondary directors. I tried sending the ship to the USA for an upgrade of my main gun caliber and it wouldn't Check Design because that nation hadn't implemented that secondary fire control. Main guns have NOTHING to do with secondary gun directors, do they? Then why can't I rebuild? It's bugged or this is a HORRIBLE design decision. Please fix.

Fredrik is aware of that.

Oh. Awesome.

The real problem here, I think, is the use of basically the same screen for initial design and refit. Certain things that make sense for initial design (stripping fire control when switching to a different yard) then cause bugs when the design screen is applied to do a refit.
