Mission Editor Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a unit missing from a country!?
A: The unit is missing from a database that assigns it to a given country. The most common answer is that you are in "Historical Mode" which limits the selection of units based on the current date of a mission. This option can be toggled on or off at any time while editing the mission via the watch icon on the bottom bar. You will also see the year added at the top of the group panel.
Note screenshot. There are more unit types to choose from (scroll bar) and three new ship types are visible. Two are WW2 era ships and the Tarawa class was taken out of service in 2009. Thus the 3 ships are not available in the year 2016.
