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.

I've returned to HC2015.004 (I don't tested 005 to 006) and the renamed names are recovered. As example you can test in the attached LCS 2 scenario (is the standard issued scenario) as Fiery Cross Reef (ZXa) is reverted to Generic Small Airport. Is the same effect both in Game Engine and Sce…

Issue Information Issue ID #000077 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 - None Assigned Status 10 - Confirmed Version 2014.010 Fixed in Mk2 Eagle Eye - 40nm visual detection of GBU/SDB/PGMPosted by Grumble on 15 July 2014 - 01:43 AM Linked to the Mk1 there is one other complication PGMs as Brad pointed out are supposed to be immune to AAM/SAM, they got very low RCS like the 6 for GBU-53 SDB II, to ensure this, but they are still being intercepted by AAM and SAM. Most GBUs have "High" max altitude and so these fly to target on High, I guess they are detected visually, as per 5.4.2. Radar log shows that radar detection is indeed impossible, in the first detection cycle…

Behaviour is as follows: Active RH missile (whether AAM, ASM or SSM) appears to reach its intended target and then disappear. As if the terminal engagement did not happen. The behaviour appears to be inconsistent. Savegame is from HDS1 scenario 3.0 - Circle the Wagons Check the Harpoon SSM engagement in the North Sea. Issu…

  8. The attached scenario is run in westpac BS using HCDB 150929 database. GE 2024.006. There is a single sub. THe max speed of this sub on surface is 10 kts. It is currently submerged and traveling at its max speed or 21 kts. Use command F2 to set the speed/depth to surfaced and any speed about 10, say 15. Execute the command and the sub continues on the surface at an illegal speed. If you set the speed again you are now only able to set the legal speeds if it remains surfaced. A similar thing happens with subs that have a higher surface speed than their max submerged speed. I would expect that when changing the speed/alt from submerged to surface you shou…

Time to take another look at it and see what can be done. To investigate: * Station keeping in groups that have paths defined in the SE and remain untouched in the GE. * Station keeping in groups with no path and speed set. * Station keeping in groups that are moving at Flank speed. * Station keeping in groups at 5kts/creep. * Station keepin…

E.g. when the a/c prompts to launch weapons but the player cancels it. (there are probably other situations when this happens, these two are the most apparent) The a/c holds position and Throttle remains at "Loiter" but the Kts number changes to the a/c's med altitude cruise speed.

The Land Attack missiles have odd names. In missile group BJM Target is ZJ003 8X RIM-162D. ZJ003 is a SA-6b missile battery. Missile launched was either a TACOM IV or TLAM-C or D. Kind of confused here on how to right this up. Checked db in both the SE and GE and it appears that I have all the correct missiles in my launchers. If this is a db issue I could not find it.

Problem occurred when an SH-60 Seahawk was attempted to be added to the USS Yorktown which is not on the list of Helo's that can be used on that type of ship. Suggest that when an incorrect aircraft type is accidently selected that the Add button is disabled. Same should happen if a Ship has no air craft capability. Several ship classes have a 0 aircraft capacity, but a li…

A pair of enemy helicopters (Helix, iirc) along the missile flight path decoyed ALL of the missiles.

  18. Open the save, there's a group of planes in the south with dozens of nuclear anti-ship missiles. Use them to attack the blue surface group to their south and the AI automatic choice wants to dump all ~65 missiles into the first ship in the list. This might have impacts on the AI, even though as humans we can de-allocate and retarget then launch. Incidentally, is there a way to add a button that de-allocates every weapon attacking a fleet? nuketarget.hp2

  19. Started by Axure,

    Start a new WestPac mission with Game Options all to Yes except for Full Ordnance. Side: BLUE. Then choose the last mission, "The Backyard", hit New Game - and for me it usually crashes at this point. It seems to have something to do with mission settings, because when I set all Game Options to Yes, it launches just fine. OS: XP Ver: HCE, the latest relase, meaning 2007.000, I guess. DB: Standard one that goes with this release.

  20. Issue Information Issue ID #000029 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 - None Assigned Status 10 - Confirmed Version 2009.084 Fixed in HDS3 range circles off by 10%Posted by Grumble on 16 July 2013 - 12:53 AM Range circles in HDS3 are displayed 10% shorter than the nominal value. This does not seem to effect the game mechanics, for example AAM attacks are made from the true possible distance, but the display shows that AAMs are fired when the target is still outside of the AAM range circle. First I spotted only the AAM discrepancy but click-measuring easily shows that all circles are off. E.g. clicking the opposite edges of Phoenix AAM range circle: 199-200nm (expect…
