SSNs were never eligible targets in the first place and were never on the surface. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Run scen and watch as AS-4s attempt to intercept SSNs Expected behaviour: AS-4 missiles should not attack submarines Observed behaviour: AS-4 missiles try to attack submarines AS_4_attacking_submarines.zip

Defect Name: Tanker aircraft landing error Build: HCE 2008.024 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-071223 Scenario used: startirantwo7.hpi Long Description: Shortly after starting the game one of the tankers (group EQA) splits from its package after completing refueling. The usual box opens and there is the option of where you want the a/c to land. Although I have two carriers within range only one option appears. So I select this option but the a/c goes to the furthest carrier even though the correct distance is displayed for the closer of the two carriers. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Load game and wait for approx 1-2 minutes in game time. Expec…

Defect Name: Barges in harbour cannot be torpedoed Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-071223 Scenario used: Barges in harbour cannot be torpedoed.hpe Long Description: Barges grouped with land facilities cannot be attacked by torpedo even though the vessels are clearly in open water. Attack is possible by SLCM. Sequence to reproduce: 1. ADu cannot attack ZIp with torpedoes Expected behaviour: Ships in port should be open to attack from torpedoes Observed behaviour: Ships in port cannot be attacked with torpedoes Barges_in_harbour_cannot_be_torpedoed.zip

Defect Name: Wrong speed Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-070524 Scenario used: Saved game: Wrong speed Long Description: Aircraft at max altitude is going faster than the allowable speed setting Sequence to reproduce: 1. A/c at VHigh altitude is flying at 570kts. 2. Hit F2 to set speed and max allowed is 560kts. Expected behaviour: Plane should not fly faster than allowable speed setting Observed behaviour: Plane flies faster than allowable speed setting Wrong_speed.zip

Defect Name: BOL range incorrect [2005] Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-070524 Scenario used: Thunder Dragon [WestPac] User-built Long Description: When the BOL attack hotkey is selected for Ship Group ZPS, a very large Range circle appears. ZPS has weapons capable of BOL Attack, but their actual range is far shorter than the Range circle offered by the Assistant. Sequence to reproduce: 1. N/A - saved game available Expected behaviour: Range circle should show actual range of weapons. Observed behaviour: Range circle much larger than the maximum range of weapons.

Defect Name: Air patrol runs out of gas Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-071223 Scenario used: Saved game - Air patrol runs out of gas.hpi Long Description: Formation air patrol AA29 runs out of gas on its own. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Run saved game for about 10min. High compression is okay. Expected behaviour: Formation air patrols should never run out of gas Observed behaviour: Formation air patrol runs out of gas. Air_patrol_runs_out_of_gas.zip

Just playing a user scenario, and saw a flanker being shot down by a green pakistani ship. I saved it, and then the 2nd plane gets shot down as well. The game tells me I've shot down the plane. It seems logical enough that green has shot down the red plane, but my question is this supposed to happen? And would the green ships attack my planes? Should I sink green ships that threaten my forces? I remember one scenario which has a green ship which looks like a merchant cargo ship, but has a nuclear weapon in it's loadout. pakiflanker.zip

Using an LG 22" wide screen 1680 x 1050 XP Pro AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual 4600 2.4 ghz w/2 Gb Ram My popups (Speed, Course, Launch, Staff Assisat etc) are all missing the right & bottom section. For example the speed popup doesn't hav\f the cruse, flank & OK/Cancel buttons. Maps seem OK. I hven't run the original on this machine I only have it on my laptop. but that is also a wide screen I think 1280 x 800. Lenovo 3000 N100 The popups on that version are fine.

Defect Name: Missile turns away Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-070524 Scenario used: Saved game: Missile turns away Long Description: Incoming Phoenix missile turns away on final approach to target. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Run saved game at 1:5 compression 2. Watch missile approach target yet turn in opposite direct just before it runs out of fuel Expected behaviour: Missile should continue towards target Observed behaviour: Missile turns away from target Missile_turns_away.zip

Defect Name: Units do not move to new patrol zones Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-070524 Scenario used: Units do not move to new patrol zones.sc1 Long Description: Units do not move to new patrol zones when size of zones is changed Sequence to reproduce: 1. Change formation zone sizes to: 10nm, 20nm, 30nm, and 40nm. 2. Do NOT make any changes to ship assignments. 3. Run at high compression to allow ships to move to new zone 4. After formation is stabilized, check distances between ships. Type 42 has been assigned a zone between 20-30nm and should thus be 25-30nm from the ship at the centre of the formation (CVH) Un…

A user from the Great White North, recently returned to the game is experiencing memory corruption in the original USNI BattleSet, Scenario 5.0. He has experienced this both in 2020.009 and 2020.017. Some saved games are attached. I have tested extensively using AutoTest and have not replicated either issue (game exiting with heap corruption error [USNI5.zip] nor game exiting without any warning [NoErrorCrash.zip]). Right after the USNI5.zip saves a Slava is sunk but does not trigger a crash for me. The user has mentioned doing a lot of air group splitting and joining while playing. I view that as a valuable hint as very few players exercise that function…

Defect Name: Ferry flameout Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB Scenario used: Ferry flameout.sc1 Long Description: Aircraft on ferry mission run out of fuel. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Order 1 Hawk to Ferry from Banak to Orland 2. Order 70 Hawk to Ferry from Banak to Orland 3. Solo aircraft will arrive safely, but large group of 70 aircraft will run out of fuel and crash. In previous versions, aircraft on Ferry mission began to move immediately. Now that they remain stationary until the entire group has launched, the fuel calculation is erroneous. This will also cause problems in groups with mixed aircraft. Expected be…

Defect Name: Assertion errors on quit Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-070524 Scenario used: WW3.SCq Long Description: Game throws assertion errors when user attempts to end game. In other test runs, assertion errors are reported within the game (user does not need to end game to cause them). It is not known if these two cases are related. Assertion errors occurring within this scenario are sporadic but non-replicable with any consistency. They do appear with this scenario approximate 1 in 7 runs. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Order TROKA division to bombard Taebukpo-Ri. 2. Repeat gun order every second or so for the nex…

Defect Name: Cannon fire only Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-071223 Scenario used: saved game Cannon fire only.hpi Long Description: When ordered to intercept with Sidewinders and Phoenix, Tomcats show the "Should we attack with only cannon fire?" message. The targets are well within Phoenix range. Even if target is inside the minimum range of Phoenix and _outside_ maximum range of Sidewinder, Staff Assistance should ask to engage and use the shorter-ranged Sidewinder as the basis and display a message like, "Effective range is 10nm. Target range is 15nm. Shall we close to intercept?" Sequence to reproduce: 1. Immediate…

Defect Name: Crash After Splitting Build: Basic HCE installation. Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: Not Sure (Westpac from HCE install?) Scenario used: Saved game: Game crashes after splitting group. Long Description: After splitting a group (to hopefully enable it to refuel) the game crashes. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Load Savegame. 2. Choose group BKA (EA-6B Prowler and KA-6D Intruder Refuel, at top of window, slightly to the right above the carrier group.) 3. Ctrl-8 to split the group. Move both to the right side. Continue. 4. Game Crashes. Expected behaviour: Game asks for a new course. Observed behaviour: Game crashes. crash.zip

Defect Name: Phantom air group attempts landing Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-071223 Scenario used: Phantom air group attempts landing.hpe Long Description: "Select Group for landing" window appears for unspecified air group. Only two air groups are airborne. Nothing happens regardless of the landing field selected. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Run until window for selecting landing field appears Expected behaviour: "Select Group for landing" window should not appear Observed behaviour: "Select Group for landing" window appears Phantom_air_group_attempts_landing.zip

It appears that the air patrol crashing is back. I have had 2 ASW patrols crash, and I am unable to delete air patrols in my TG's Attached is a save game with the air patrols that were not able to be deleted in TG AEC Air Patrols Crashing.zip

Defect Name: Sinking Image Error Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Unknown Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-070524 Scenario used: Backyard.SCq Long Description: When submarine is sunk, no corresponding image is displayed. Sequence to reproduce: 1. n/a Expected behaviour: Image of sunken submarine should appear when a submarine is sunk. Observed behaviour: No image appears when submarine is sunk.

Defect Name: Extraordinary sonar range Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-071223 Scenario used: User scen - ROURKE.SCm Long Description: Extraordinary sonar range from DDG Burke and other vessels; sometimes in excess of 200nm CZs for even fairly quiet subs like Oscar and Victor III. This scenario was originally built for EC2000. For the re-building process, the editor changed the suffix from SCi to SCm and then ensured that all the units were proper. No idea if this is a contributing factor for this behaviour. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Run scen at high compression from Blue side 2. Sub contacts will just materializ…
