Allies Resurgent-Armored Shermans cause save game corruption? and missing tool tips on campaign map

[LandMarine47]

A rather strange bug, but I have been able to replicate it. Whenever any Sherman tank variant goes into it's extra armor mode, OOB kinda freaks out, and either
A. The unit gets bugged and is simply deleted from the battlefield and player roster or
B. The unit attacking the Armored Sherman is itself deleted in a similar fashion.

Once the turn in over, an error and save game corruption waring is issued to the player. Has anyone else had this issue? This happened to me once before during the US Pacific campaign, but I had figured it was a rare bug.

Also, there are some missing tool tips for the campaign map on the new DLC.

I can't reproduce the Sherman issue, in a test scenario it seemed all fine, in multiple attacks, switching field armor back and forth.

Do you have a savegame where it happens repeatedly? That would be very helpful.

Thx for the headsup on those tooltips.

I do, what would I need to do to get it to you?

You can use a ZIP/archive software with the savefile ( "\Documents\My Games\Order of Battle - WW2\SaveGames") and attach it here to your post.

The armor mode change appears to work, for me, but I noticed an immediate efficiency degradation as soon as you move with the armor activated. Is that intentional?

Yes, that is intentional.

When you choose this feature on one of these tanks,

you are actually switching to an alternate version of the unit which has the "unreliable" trait:

While the tool tip in the user interface says "... improvised armor, at the price of a lower speed," the penalty is worse than that. "Unreliable" involves a loss of efficiency which negatively affects the unit's fighting ability as well as speed, if it is moved anywhere while still wearing the improvised armor:
