Missing units when using Divide Unit and Attach To?

[minimi66]

Hey Tankers,

 

I've noticed that if i divide a platoon of 6 tanks, change 3 of the tanks into PC's and re-attach them to the tank platoon i only end up with 4 vehicles, 1 PC and 3 Tanks?  Not 3 and 3?  Tried it with several different vehicle types but still same result?

 

Am i missing something?  I think i did this successfully a couple days ago but now it seems to not work the same?  Am following the manual for guidance.

 

Thanks.

Are you saying the vehicles "disappear" or just don't "attach"?

 

If they are still on the map (say 1 x Platoon of 4 and 2 individual vehicles) try moving the outliers closer to the Platoon icon, they maybe just too far away to attach.

 

I've never had units "disappear" purely by dividing the unit up and changing their type, Indeed this is how I regularly create a CSS packet:

 

1. Create a unit of 6 x Supply Trucks.

 

2. Divide the unit up.

 

3. Convert 2 x Supply trucks into refuelers

 

4. Convert 1 x Supply truck into an ambulance.

 

5. Convert 1 x Supply truck into an recovery vehicle.

 

6. Recombine these various vehicles into 1 x heterogeneous unit.

 

As described here:

 

Alternatively on pages 49-51 of the "Specialist Tutorial.PDF" located in your: C:\Games\SB Pro PE 4.265\docs folder (or wherever you have chosen to install SB Pro PE.

 

Similarly I've used this type of process numerous times to make an six vehicle Australian Cavalry Troop consisting of 4 x ASLAVs and 2 x ASLAV PCs

There are still 6 vehicles in resulting unit, just 2 of them are not showing up on the map immediately. Drag unit a bit, for example, and you will see 'em.

Thanks for all the info guys!

 

I dragged them a bit and there they were!  Didn't know about that!

Do you mean they weren't visible do to the amount of zoom (i.e. the unit icon [rectangle] covered / obscured the two unit icons [circles])?

I mean   individual vehicles within recombined unit in the map view and 3D
