An issue was identified in 2014 here;
http://www.bgforums.com/forums/viewtopi ... es#p161186
The issue still exists in game as of Jan 18, 2017.
Any news on fixing it?
I will only play with MM turned off from now in, I suggest we all do, until BG can resolve the issue. Can not be loosing planes intended for allies.

No idea on timeline, but created a ticket. Could not find a previous one.

Re: Planes and Merchant Marine
Or just forget about the option. I mean troops turn into ships, why no magic travel. I never used this option since planes fly to their dead and MM get stuck on tons of spots. So whats really realistic here

Re: Planes and Merchant Marine
I've always gone with the less realistic option here too. It would be "nice" if that feature worked correctly, but I'm content with just leaving it off. It working correctly feels more like a flavor thing since we do currently have a working option available.

Re: Planes and Merchant Marine
To be fair, I do not use it either, which is why I never noticed this before. But lets not use "realistic" as a reason. Merchant Marine was and is a real thing, to this day.

"The nation's economic and security needs met by the U.S. Merchant Marine are compelling. Today, the United States imports approximately 85 percent of some 77 strategic commodities critical to America's industry and defense. Although we, as a nation, account for only six percent of the world population, we purchase nearly a third of the world's output of raw materials. Ninety-nine percent of these materials are transported by merchant vessels."
How do you think all those resources move around the globe when we buy and sell, in game

I have deleted a post which added nothing to the conversation. If you have something pertinent to add please post away and remain civil at all times, this is the BattleGoat Issues and Support forums, not a cesspit or street corner.
