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.

Issue Information ⦁ Issue ID #000193 ⦁ Issue Type Issue ⦁ Severity 0 – None Assigned ⦁ Status 21 – Fix Coded ⦁ Version 2017.011 ⦁ Fixed in 2017.013 RefuelingPosted by eeustice on 03 October 2017 - 07:17 PM Tony, In GE 2017.012 just after the start of refueling the F/A-18’s go to 0% fuel. Tankers still have 93% fuel. Almost looks like the F/A-18’s refueled the tankers. A copy of the db and 3 saved games. I think 10 is where it happens. The last 3 files are saved 1 game second apart. Good luck. Thanks Eric Issue-193-Refueling.pdf After Manual Refueling Started (ALT-R).zip

When editing the Battle of Baltim scenario, as I'm not very satisfaced with the very low levels of ECM and decoys, and also I've lowered the SS-N-2a Styx to a probably more realistic 35%, and employed Decoys Level 2 with a value of 40% (as historically in Latakia and Baltim ALL the Styx fired were decoyed with ECM or decoys, and no…
