Kriegsmarine bug - can't land seaplane on seaplane tender

[Erik2]

Erik do all those animals get into fights in your cabin? I bet they make a mess of your pantry when you are out hunting & fishing, especially that badger. The cuter the animal, the bigger the mess it will make of your goods.

Cabin? I got a fairly big house, double garage and three smaller cabins on the property. More like a small village....

Badger story:
I was walking my 80kg male dog in the woods. He was peeing and I was just gazing in the direction of the path.
And there comes a badger towards us. Getting closer. And closer. Until he (ca 90cm long) stopped about 20cm in front of the tip of my shoe.
Both the dog and I was totally amazed, it was like Jesus came back in disguise
After about 20 secs he turned around and walked slowly back.
I had the mobile phone in my pocket and was very tempted to try and snap a picture. But all hell would probably be loose. Badgers have a bit that may be stronger than a dog's (pr square cm).
This guys was probably very short-sighted, was pretty curious and he had the wind in his back.
After the way he walked I named him Putin.

Damn those filthy Norwegians swimming in their oil money in perpetual darkness with their leggy blonde girls... *shakes fist*
zhere vil be a reckoning...

To be honest, if they dont flee / hide / advance in cover, animals are either raised in captivity or ill. This can end really nasty.

OK, first off a "Cheers!" to bru888 for answering my question. Great post! I really get your point + when playing I already thought that the plane might be a bit oversized for that tiny tender, but on the other hand both are also just unit graphics, which might not mean anything in the end + there was still that trait in the unit description, so that's why my question came up.

It's still misleading gamewise that not all tender can handle every seaplane. There should be a ingame category of sorts (so the player doesn't need to search through some game folders/data files) to figure out right from start which tender can handle what seaplane. By the way, same goes for "Unit LOS".

But that's just I minor thing, not really complaining here.

What they should do is come up with another message as to why the plane is being rejected for service by the tender. They merely recycled the message you get when you are trying to land an air unit too far away from an airfield.

Strange badger. Are you sure Putin is 90cm long? I've never heard of a badger that massive.
You can tame badgers to be pets, so how about you making friends with Putin and hanging out together? Is your dog named Trump?

Our male dog is named Capo (di tutti capi). The younger female is named Chino.
So whenever I need a coffe and both the dogs present, I just yell "Capochino!".

So it is true - Trolls come from Norway. That is indeed some first level trolling of your own household. Nice one, Erik.

In real life, float planes, the class of seaplane that the tender carries, is launched from a catapult, off a cruiser or tender. This is why it is hoisted to the carrier. This is why many cruisers and some battleships have cranes on the rear. The Graf Spee, for example carried a small float plane for observation. Flying boats, and seaplanes fly off and land on the water. Any tender can provide fuel and ammunition to the larger seaplane regardless of its size. I have seen many pictures of a Dornier Do 26, a very large four engine amphibious seaplane being refueled and rearmed by a tender. The terms can be confusing. A Floatplane is a fighter sized plane with one or two floats. A flying boat is an aircraft with a body of a boat on the underside to land and take off from water. In between these two types of aircraft are 'float planes', because they have two floats, that are the size of medium bombers. They are generally not referred to as float planes because of their size. I am not aware of a particular word to use for these planes, other than seaplane, which they all are.

Of course the game does not include weather, as rough seas cannot be landed on regardless of the size of the seaplane.

Just my two cents from someone with a wealth of useless trivial knowledge, since I am educated beyond my intelligence.
