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

Defect Name: 253 and 120 planes in a group Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-070524 Scenario used: WW3.SCq Long Description: Huge groups of enemy planes appear even though the planes never existed on the airfield. Groups of 253 and 120 planes appear over an airfield that only originally started out with 90. I suspect that this occurs due to the airfield sustaining damage during the launch sequence. This used to be a problem in pre-HCE versions. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Order TROKA division to bombard Taebukpo-Ri. 2. Repeat gun order every second or so for the next 30 seconds until aircraft groups appear to launc…

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: CTD on tanker launch Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-080308 Scenario used: CTD on tanker launch.SCm Long Description: CTD when tanker is ordered to launch on a patrol mission Sequence to reproduce: 1. Run scenario from Red side 2. Order Midas tanker to any patrol point from ZTa (Afrikanda) 3. CTD when plane attempts to launch Expected behaviour: Tanker should launch on patrol mission Observed behaviour: Tanker patrol mission results in CTD CTD_on_tanker_launch.zip

Defect Name: CTD from multiple splits Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-071223 Scenario used: Fortress Keflavik [GIUK] Long Description: CTD from group after trying multiple splits Sequence to reproduce: 1. Select group ABu 2. F8 and move both submarines into a new group 3. Order new group to divide, again, by moving both subs into new group 4. Order new group to divide, again, by moving both subs into new group Expected behaviour: Group should split into new group Observed behaviour: Attempt to split group results in CTD CTD_from_multiple_splits.zip

Defect Name: Crash in Select Battleset/main menu. Build: Aug 12 2007 (Release) Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: N/A Scenario used: NA Long Description: I somewhat stupidly and accidentally (yes, everyone belive that ) changed the size of the "Region" menu button thing. It crashed the program. I did it again and it crashed a 2nd time. A weird, possibly not fixable defect, but a defect none-the-less. Sequence to reproduce: Open game. Move the size of "Region" so it no longer shows. Game might freeze. Expected behaviour: No crash? Observed behaviour: Crashes http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/dav...ieWAU/crash.jpg

Defect Name: Unable to complete intercept of base Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-071223 Scenario used: Unable to complete intercept of base.hph Long Description: Air group ARa is ordered to attack base ZWa. Proper intercept procedure is followed and group is ordered to close to 60nm to attack. However, the message, "Group ARA completed intercept of enemy units and is loitering in the area." appears immediately and group does not move towards the base. Manual interception is required. Weapons function normally. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Order ARa to attack base ZWa surface units 2. Message, "Group ARA completed interce…

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: T-80 indestructible Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-071223 Scenario used: T-80 indestructible.hph Long Description: 4 L-39 Albatros attack a single T-80 unit with a full load of 68mm Rockets and autocannon fire. Several hits are registered, but absolutely no damage is incurred by T-80. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Rockets and cannon fire should be able to at least damage, if not destroy, T-80 Expected behaviour: Rockets and cannon fire should be able to at least damage, if not destroy, T-80 Observed behaviour: T-80 impervious to rockets and cannon fire T_80_indestructible.zip

Defect Name: Group survivors form improper group Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-071223 Scenario used: saved game Group survivors form improper group.hph Long Description: Airfield ACb is destroyed. Ground units grouped with the base now form a group called "DL". Two letter designation for a group is improper. All units should have 3 characters. Also, when DL is selected and all units are detached to a new group, EQr is formed (a proper group). Sequence to reproduce: 1. Select DL and detach all units with F8 2. EQr is formed Expected behaviour: Proper new group should be formed from survivors of destroyed base…

Defect Name: Ghost of Scorpio Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-071223 Scenario used: Saved game - Ghost of Scorpio.hpi Long Description: Scorpio ship unit ZC04 does not appear to be susceptible to attack. Two attacks were made against group ZCs with 15+ Harpoon allocated to Scorpio on both occasions. No hits and now the player is unable to select the ship group for attack. This scenario was played before and I *think* that I was able to kill the ship, but I cannot be certain. Sequence to reproduce: 1. ZC04 cannot be attack. Player cannot even launch group against ZCs. 2. Note that the oddly discoloured icon for Scorpio …
