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 #000079 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 – None Assigned Status 90 – Not an Issue Version 2014.010 Fixed in 2014.010 Formation air patrols "created" by the Game EnginePosted by broncepulido on 19 July 2014 - 11:17 PM Testing my own finished Manila Galleon 1988 scenario, I saw an issue almost detected in other scenarios not designed by me, when I asked myself how someone can design strange and many AEW patrols with helicopters devoid of radar. As this was designed by me, I did some research on it and clearly: - In the Peleliu and Trípoli groups, the formation editor creates, show and operates a lot of AEW patrols with 1xAssault he…

Is the IR even working? When I ran the attached test scenario is was nighttime. You'll have to use my homemade database to run the attached test scenario (using EC2003 GIUK Battleset). 1. Play Blue and crank the time compression up to 5 mins. You'll get a detection at 21nm....if it's nighttime (haven't tested during daylight). Both Blue and Red a…

  3. (ZUa)When attempting to change destroyed air base (ZUa) to blue using Turncoat, receive "Side change failed, no group id available" message. Created a test scenario and was unable to duplicate the issue. Earlier in the game I converted a red base to blue base (DSa) using Turncoat. There was an update to Turncoat after base was converted to DSa due to a previous GE crash caused by Turncoat. It appears that the side in the Turncoat base resets it self back to the Red instead of the Blue side. I have restarted the GE several times and the issue persists. In my test scenario I was able to change the sides of a base to any option available with out a p…

    Defect Name: Runway too short for Harrier Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-071223 Scenario used: Runway too short for Harrier.hph Long Description: Beachhead Charlie, AAp, allows some versions of the AV-8 Harrier to land on it yet prevents other Harriers. I think that all Harriers should be the same type of aircraft utilizting the same landing restrictions/requirements. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Attempt to ferry Harriers from ship group AIs to AAp Expected behaviour: All Harriers should have the same landing requirements. Observed behaviour: Harriers have different landing requirements.

I have included in the zipped files the last 2 saved games the launcher saved. I also had a CV group AEC just vanish from the screen a while before that. If you wanted to land planes on the carrier you could see it in the Select Group for landing window however it NM w…

I then booted up the game and searched all the battlesets and they are not there. I have also searched every file revealed by the 'load user scenario' tab in the file menu of the game... again nothing there! What am I doing wrong? PongoDeMer Issue-048-Playing-user-scenarios.pdf

Issue Information ⦁ Issue ID #000009 ⦁ Issue Type Issue ⦁ Severity 0 – None Assigned ⦁ Status 21 - Fix Coded ⦁ Version 2009.050 ⦁ Fixed in 2009.082 AI Gunnery Doesn't Adhere to ROFPosted by miller7219 on 05 March 2013 - 07:19 PM AI gunnery continually fires non-stop until either it runs out of ammo or target is sunk. Player gunnery adheres to the ROF properly. The AI wins every surface-to-surface gunnery duel in very quick fashion! I tested with 2009.074 too, and same result. I recall that I noticed this a few years back, but never got around to reporting it. Effectively surface-to-surface gunnery is broken unless the AI can be fixed to play fair.

  9. Issue Information Issue ID #000017 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 - None Assigned Status 10 - Confirmed Version 2009.076 Fixed in GE allows launching AAMs on target without exact fixPosted by Grumble on 09 May 2013 - 11:00 AM When a target is in range of an AAM the GE allows launch on target without exact fix. This is regardless of guidance type, so IR, SARH and Active Homing, etc., all affected. The attacking a/c (well, the attacking side) should have exact fix before allowed to launch, currently the "Should we attempt to locate ..." SA message is only triggered if the target is out of range of the AAM. Expected behavior: GE should always prompt attacker first …

Attached file is original GIUK, scenario 3. Is this caused by the old DB, or a GE issue? Under 30 miles from the US surface group is a heavily damaged Tango on the surface. However, if I try to attack with surface ships, I get the choice of Standoff ASW or Short Range ASW. No choice of missiles. Soon as a helo takes off, I'll have a hard radar lock, and should be able to finish it off. I've had other instances of this,…

  18. Greetings All, I am noticing possible errors in how the game engine designates an icon for unknown contacts and/or allows attacking unknown contacts. Apologies if these are known issues. I still have a bunch of reading to do in the forum. Also, once I figure out what test scenario files to upload, will do. Examples: Small RED surface contact - BLUE platform: Bunker Hill class (Monterey (CM)) radiating air and surface radars. Sonar is in passive. - Weather report is perfect with visibility at 19 nm. - A small surface contact is identified by passive sonar at 22 nm. In the scenario the unit (Najin) is designate…

Issue Information Issue ID #000207 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 - None Assigned Status UNFILED Version 2017.016 Fixed in AC Loitering AltitudePosted by eeustice on 11 January 2018 - 05:32 PM When editing an Air Groups course AC would not loiter at end of course when AC stay at same altitude even though Loiter button was selected. To get the AC to loiter you need to go back into the Edit Order screen and select Set Altitude and Speed and then select Loiter. The AC will then loiter at the end of the new course. If you change altitude at the end of your course the AC will loiter at the new altitude without having to go bac and select loiter a 2nd time. Attache…

I went through all the normal steps to select the number and type of aircraft, but after executing the order, I get a window that says "Sir, we have no released weapons available to conduct an ASW attack". If I launch the aircraft on some other pretext and then order it to attack directly, all goes normally. Issue-149-Can't-launch-P-3-for-ASW-at…
