Game8 bug KE cant get helipad.7z (3.87 MB)
Corvettes can't get helipads.
I waited until the helicopter development was done in the airplane types tab. Still can't convert nor mount on a fresh design.
Corvette status is used by the game differently than destroyers. I don't want my ASW focus patrol ships pulled into fleet battles like DD are. They aren't built like that.
IIRC earlier games I could change over the TP KE to have helicopters.
They are allowed floatplanes but not catapults. (I don't agree with the disallow catapults as we account for deck space already).
Its easier to have a flat space for a VTOL helicopter than to have a flat space AND big crane for lifting seaplanes.
I suspect this was a dev concept change. I don't think this is right. ASW ships like "destroyer escorts" are also known as "sub chasers" "ASW patrol" "frigates" and so forth. The game's KE designation also affects how its used in battle. A slow sub hunting ASW boat with a helicopter is fine... its probably faster than the sub or close and the sub isn't going to be faster than the helicopter.
To have a DD class you must add a torpedo system. So its blocking a non-ship-torpedo heli carrier with say just ASW rockets.
I tried searching the update notes but my search didn't find a comment. Maybe it was in an earlier change?
Please restore corvettes to being able to have helicopter pads.
Id also like if you gave us back corvette catapults for float planes. The deck space is an issue that is addressed in the player's design choices. Im not saying get rid of floatplanes Im saying if I can carry a floatplane I should be able to switch up to the helicopter.
The attached save game you can try a new KE design or select an existing 1,200 TP with a plane and try to convert to the helipad. The helipad button remains grey and non-selectable in new design or rebuild.
