Aircraft Carrier Issue

Whenever I try to move ships to a place in the water already occupied by an aircraft carrier, it won't let me because "Only carrier based aircraft" can land their.

THEY ARE BOATS LIKE WHAT THE HECK :wallbash

This has periodically happened to me in the year I've been using the in-game aircraft carrier unit.

I have a couple of suggestions to work around the bug:

1. move your aircraft carrier to the other naval units that you are trying to add to the carrier's task force;

2. move your aircraft carrier and the other naval units to a common point, e.g., an intersection point of two sea lanes.

Usually one or the other works for me. If neither works, try jiggling the toilet handle.

Also, launch all of your planes on patrol before merging or splitting naval fleets which include carriers. There is a current bug in which the changing of the carrier's callsign leads to planes thinking their carrier no longer exist. Because this means it "must have sank," according to the code, the planes sink with the carrier.

It still does it. When I try to move my submarines to where I have a carrier without any planes on it, it still does this.

Of course it does, because that is the way it works. An aircraft carrier is more like a floating island than a ship. It has to be, because if it identified as a ship instead of an airfield your planes would pack themselves into a convoy ship and swim to meet up with the carrier instead of flying there and landing on the carrier airfield. In order to have a carrier work like an airfield this is the way it will be.

There must be some way to resolve this issue. I don't program, but it seems like a pretty simple fix. Every time I want to move ships to the same position as a carrier, I have to move the carrier away, then move them all back. This is really annoying.

Til the problem is solved ... <

Sometimes it helps, just to change the zoom level (zoom-in) and move the mouse cursor a bit - if not, you can also try the following: First select the carrier and then with Ctrl + left mouse click the new ship/s to collect them, now zoom-in where the carriers position is, briefly move the cursor a bit, and use the move command for all units together onto the carriers position - helps in about 99%...
