Defect Tracking
Repository of user created Defect, Bug, Issue, Feature reports for HC.
Background: This forum encapsulates perhaps the most thorough documentation of sub-optimal performance of HC. Most of the reports demonstrate excellent form and presentation to make addressing defects as easy as possible, use them as a template. The term Defect is used since not everything is a bug; some items are bugs, some are design limitations, some voice a dissenting viewpoint, defect is the term chosen to cover all of the ground.
Tags: Add the following tags to new issue reports,
OP: Username, UNFILED, VerRep: 2017.011
Replace "Username" with your forum username and 2017.011 with the version of the game in which you see the issue.
Hints: A test scenario is better than a saved game. A tiny test scenario targeted at the problem helps track down the issue. The fewer the units in the scenario, the easier to debug as well.

Looks almost as if they were flying to a precalculated intercept point and then turn towards the target, which could be normal for long range AA but this behaviour is not consistent (usually the missiles are tracking their targets all the way, see Gammon example) and the intercept points also seem wrong, like too far away, ofte…
