As a courtesy, i was avoding posting anything in Berry's thread, but since my fix/name has come up, i'll should respond to eliminate any ambiguity. The forced retirment "fix" i came up with, address only retirement due to your sub being retired. . You'll get a message along the lines of "the navy has decided to retire your sub and you along with it".
This retirement seems to be a function of a boats exit date. To test this, i started a game at 9dec41, and put the exit date for a subtype a couple days later. I then ran a boat out of pearl for a couple days, then RTB'ed. Instant retirement. By setting the exit date to later, no retirement occured. I repeated this test a couple times to repreproduce it and i could retire a boat at will. I then set the exit date to NULL, meaning it has no exit date. The boat will not be retired for the duration of the war.
Orginally, i did not include the S class in this fix because i figured it should be retired and players would have promoted out of it anyway. Problem is that this forced retirement bug, by accounts ive read, indicate that the retirement date is set on the first sub of your career. So if you chose an S class, even if you promoted out of it, youd still be forceibly retired. So in the end, i had to null out the exit dates for the S class too.
