Bug: Urban Warfare displays English Recons as Infantry

[Mordan]

Hello,

There is a serious issue. Recon Unit English Chevy on Urban Warfare game turn 27-28 against OGWalters. Please download to game turn to UNDERSTAND what's wrong and fix this.

Downloaded the game with Windows 7 version 1.11

Symptom:
Chevy Units changed/morphed into English infantry. They behave as such. Entrenchment value of 3. Display Graphics is Infantry. Only the name of the unit is Chevy.
Attacking with a SU-100 in a city destroys the SU-100.
Opponent has a lot a lot of Chevies on the map. Maybe 15+ I'm not sure.

It is a league tournament game, I don't want to lose such an exciting game to a crash which happened to me previously in another bug instance (impossible to finish the game).

PS:I googled Chevy Recon and found an issue with it already viewtopic.php?f=146&t=36482

PS: a patch should implement a download count on the game turn. in order to show reloadings which are against the league rules. I know game crashes which happens to me frequently when I leave my browser running would been deemed as reloads so it is important to timestamp the download INSIDE the game turn. Actually it would be a great idea to include the game turn file ALL downloads timestamps so as to keep an history of all turn downloads... With this tool, the League rule could be changed to allow 1 reload per 20 turns. 2 or more reloads is automatic loss.

That was fixed in 1.11.

I've checked saved game. During replay a few Chevy-WB units transform to infantry. As I understand, this is what confused you. But in fact, this unit works as it should. Like italian Sahariana recon, Chevy units can switch between recon and infantry.

OK my bad. Even after 4 months of playing everyday I didn't know the Chevy can become infantry.............

Isn't this unit a bit overpowered for its price? I mean for a little more than 100 prestige you get a 8 all terrain mover and a infantry defender.....

There is absolutely no point buying the other British recon units.

Well, looking at british recons now, you are right. Chevy should not cost the same as Daimler Dingo, because it is a clearly superior unit. I'll talk to our equipment file designer about this issue.

Since I get your ear, here is another observation I made in this Urban Warfare game.

I won with the American/British with a DV at turn 18. Why? Simply because I moved a 5 strength 8 hex mover into the last capital city. Very close. It was cheap and unfair to the Russians because they can't respond.

While with the Russian, I did get all the DV but each time American/British could RESPOND and take it back. Now at turn 28, exhausted by my pushes, his Chevy spamming is taking back every cities in my back and I may lose the game because of the special winning victories of Urban Warfare (I like them by the way).

My point is : In any game, a nation should always have a single turn to respond to a DV winning condition. Because right now, the defending nation has a huge advantage to win DVs since the other nation cannot respond. Another feature for a future patch. But the Download Turn Logging is priority #1 for me, it would bring a lot of peace of mind in league games. Right now it is too easy to reload a MP game.
