Well, thats the thing, i went digging around in the floatilla.cfg too.
It has a fair amount of settings. Heres now i know im missing something, without getting into too many details.
Example 1:
Start in XXI in 7th floatilla in 1943. = 0 patrol grid
Ok, bummer, so lets try this....
1. Start in VIIC in 7th floatilla in 1943 = works as normal.
2. Start a patrol, exit patrol, check next patrol asignment. Sitill have one.
3. Buy XXI (i made it available)
4. Start patrol, still have grid assignment from before i bought XXI.
5. exit patrol, check next assignment, patrol grid = 0.
Example 2:
Start in XXI in 11th floatilla in 1943. = normal patrol assignment
I can go on to do the same 5 step process to test it, and it will work.
As an aside, i can do exactly what i did in example 1 for all floatillas except the 11th out of bergen in 1943, and ill get 0 patrol grid.
So why is it, that particualr year and floatill works and the others dont? My guess is it has to be a certain year and/or floatilla to work. 11th is reported to be the first to get the XXI's, and the 7th gets them later on too from what ive seen.
To narrow this down, i still need to try the 7th in 1944 and see if i get the same thing. Theres some, setting... somwhere that im missing. Whatever makes the 11th in 1943 work.
