1.00.36 Stuck at 11 inch -1 [Resolved]

Game save attached

Chain of events
= 1904 I had some B ships built with 12 inch -2 guns. 
= During a war I got the 11 inch -1 design (and a fire control boost)
= Post war I brought them in for refit. Downsizing so the 12 inch -2 could become 11 inch -1
= A few months after the refit complete I got 11 inch q0 guns invented
= Opening them up for rebuild again the 11 inch has no option to upgrade. Shifting the guns size back and forth doesn't trigger the upgrade option either

Ship names: Texas, Oregon
Class: BRY B 1890 UK t15000 12inx4 (R1889) (R1903)
Game8 Bug 11 inch updates.7z (390.52 KB)

As I understand it the 12 inch q-2 aren't directly upgradable hence I dropped their size to 11 inch to get to q-1 (aka long barrel)
I thought that would also open them to future upgrades

Query: Is the code for can't upgrade attached to the size at design vs checking the current gun?

In this case, the reason is that the ship was built in the UK. This should not be so in game, so in that sense it is a bug. OTOH upgrading guns is really a bit too permissive in game. It would have required major rebuilds of the turrets and was as far as I can recall never done for large calibre guns, though it was considered in a couple of cases. So while you are correct, this will not be top of the list for fixes. Thanks for the report.

Edit: Fixed it anyway, as the wrong building nation could affect other things. But I raised the cost and time of heavy gun upgrades.

Ah, so they had been built in foreign yards hadn't been set to local yards? (the foreign yard not having the better gun quality might explain it).

That might explain it.

>_>

Thought they had been set to USA for rebuild. Eeeep if I hadn't as they might have been zonked if a war happened.

yeah, same game... if I set the yard to my own I can get the 11 in q 0

my bad

though its easy to miss
