Version: 1.24 Start Year: 1900 No Mods or alterations to default (though am playing on large fleet) Player Nation: USA
First noticed when Japanese launched surprise attack at start of war - I right clicked their CA and it showed as having 43 aircraft. Took 1st screen shot and attempted to load auto-save game file (still in battle) but then the ship showed only one aircraft with catapult (as would be expected). I then re-loaded regular save (still in same battle) and the ship showed no aircraft. I just chalked it up as a fluke and continued playing. On the next game turn, another battle, I found the same Japanese CA, this time showing as having 20 aircraft (2nd screen shot).
I am unsure if the game was treating this CA as actually having that many aircraft or not. (though I did experience many waves of aircraft in the first battle)

There are 'Fog of War' (FOW) effects in the game, but that does not appear part of FOW. Do you have a save game you could post here?

This bug's been around for a while, its just a display bug where a previous ships aircraft number is shown on the current ship |

I've attached the game file, though it's nearly a year (in game) after the screen shots so I'm unsure if it will be of any use/help.
I didn't realize that the Fog of War went beyond simply not seeing features - good to know. Though yeah I wouldn't expect even faulty intelligence to suggest a cruiser is really a carrier in disguise.
Great game btw, so glad I stumbled across this one.

This bug's been around for a while, its just a display bug where a previous ships aircraft number is shown on the current ship While that might account for the first screenshot, the second one took place during a battle with no CV's, so unless it carried over from a screen prior to the battle I don't know that was the case. Though I suppose it's possible I had viewed an airbase early in the battle so it was a carry-over from that. I'll have to keep this in mind if I notice it happen again. Regardless it's definitely not game breaking assuming it is just a display bug. |

I get this bug fairly often. It shows up sometimes in the early 20's with some ships showing 30-50 AC. Usually seeing it in every other or third battle by the late 30's, where I also see CV and CVL with varying air-group sizes that change when checked. I have never noticed a connection between the air-group size being the same size as recently viewed ship - air-group size seems random to me.
I will usually check the almanac to verify AG size on the CVs or CVLs when presented with a choice of targets - I want to pursue the ship with the larger air-wing.
