Defect Name: Missile turns away Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-070524 Scenario used: Saved game: Missile turns away Long Description: Incoming Phoenix missile turns away on final approach to target. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Run saved game at 1:5 compression 2.

Issue Information Issue ID #000051 Issue Type Suggestion Severity 0 – None Assigned Status UNFILED Version 2009.094 Fixed in 8 missiles 9 hitsPosted by Grumble on 21 September 2013 - 08:21 AM This is more of question. Occasionally I've seen that missiles in AA engagement get bonus pK rolls, sometimes. I thought this is a bug. Yesterday I came across a save which produced this consistently. A rule?? It seems like if a missile group is attacking an air group with N units then each missile above 2N gets two pK rolls E.g. load attached save file, if CVA attacks WUA 2 x Mig-23 with 4 missiles > 4 pK rolls 5 missiles > 6 pK rolls 6 missiles > 8 pK rolls etc…

Issue Information Issue ID #000046 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 – None Assigned Status UNFILED Version 2009.094 Fixed in Beyond bingo AI interceptsPosted by Grumble on 14 September 2013 - 01:24 PM AI is scrambling (but aggressively , finally we can say this ) a/c-s to targets well over the interceptor's range. Actually I would prefer AI to calculate even with wider than before margin, i.e. to only scramble for targets well within range, the interceptor should have enough combat fuel left when reaching the target (or a handy tanker up his sleeves). Hmm, now that I think about this ... this might be more complex than I thought, preferably AI would need to reac…

Issue Information Issue ID #000050 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 – None Assigned Status UNFILED Version 2009.094 Fixed in Radar gremlinPosted by Grumble on 20 September 2013 - 02:28 PM This is an old one, sometimes fighter air radars are losing exact fix on targets they were already tracking and for all I see they should still be able to do so. I've seen this happen for an F-14 tracking a Mirage F1 at some 50nm and now I got a save file for an F-15 on Su-17 at 12nm. load nofix.hpc group WLA (3xSu-17) is in front of CJA (2xF-15) at 13nm even for a blind to see run the game for 4 seconds for the next radar update ... nope, still uncertain contact only Why??

Issue Information Issue ID #000049 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 – None Assigned Status UNFILED Version 2009.094 Fixed in Fox ThreePosted by Grumble on 20 September 2013 - 01:41 PM Looks like an other air intercept geometry error, this time it's for planes. It happens when a fighter is depleting it's long range AAM store and the intercept point is recalculated for the remaining short range AAMs. Load fox3.hpc (attached) Attack XFA with CFA's last two AMRAAMs ("Fox Three!") in a few seconds the GE recalculates CFA's course but it actually turns away from XFA, to 109o and 10nm long. See fox2.hpc. Hope this does not just happens for me, screenshot: Issue-49-Fox-…

Issue Information Issue ID #000047 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 – None Assigned Status UNFILED Version 2009.094 Fixed in Kirov goes for a walk (AI)Posted by Grumble on 15 September 2013 - 02:50 PM (Btw. there is no 2009.095 version yet in the Issue Tracker.) I'm playing HDS7 8.0 Cauldron with "Ignore ships running aground" (accidentally) but I don't think this is a reason for the AI surface groups to take a walk across the Crimean. The Kirov group I'm sure have a scenario plotted course going to Odessa, to my Slava group, yet it has just came ashore near Donuslav Lake and heading East-North-East. Could be trying to intercept my AGS group, which is irrelevant f…

As consequence of the great and recent "Coral Sea 25" I did observe a little strange behaviour. To analyse it I scripted a little ASBM (anti-ship ballistic missile) scenario, settled in The Middle East IOPG theatre (Red Sea). Basically the problem is, when launched ASBM against the USN surface group, the Burke-class DDG correctly launches only SM-3 against the incoming orbital missiles, as they are capable of shooting down incoming missiles at orbit height, but not the SM-6 or SM-2, as its maximum ceiling is Very High. But the Harriers are launching against the incoming missiles its AMRAAM and Sidewinder, uncapable to reach orbit height!!! (only High or Ver…

Defect Name: SAMs not firing Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-070524 Scenario used: User Test: SAMs not firing.SCe Long Description: Able to fly Backfire strike right into a CVBG with no SAM fire encountered. Vikings with Sidewinders do fire along with AAA from ships, but SAMs will not fire until the Backfire launch first. ECM is not present and is thus not a factor. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Start SAMs not firing.hpe 2. Notice that Backfires are well within the SAM range ring and inside the formation without being engaged. 3. Formation air patrols and AAA will fire if the Backfire get close enough. Therefore, the AI kn…

Air groups DXA, EAA, EBA, ECA, EDA, EFA and EGA have all 10 of their aircraft launched after 35 sec. Air groups EHA and EIA only have 1 or 2 aircraft in their group after 35 seconds which is correct. The air base has 2 runways. When restarting the scenario at a 1 sec interv…

Hey TonyE Was playing the Block 2 Mediterranean Scenario and came upon a BOA crash event. Version 2022.006 Scenario Block 2 Battleset Med 2003 DB 15928 Upon launching a group or Growlers with decoy I launched them at a base with the expected results. I also did the same with a group of F18E with slammers with the expected results I then tried to use BOA attacks of which both ordinance I believe are capable of. In both case the believe attached png was the result and upon clicking any button shut down the game. I have attached a test scenario for testing. I simply launched both set of aircrafts to attack red base directly…

Issue Information Issue ID #000042 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 – None Assigned Status UNFILED Version 2009.089 Fixed in Air Groups Landing on CV'sPosted by eeustice on 22 August 2013 - 03:09 PM When launching 1 plane each from 2 CV's as an air group if both planes land as a group both planes land on the same CV. When launching 1 plane each from 2 CV's as an air group if the air group is split up to 2 groups with just a single plane in each one. 1 aircraft lands on each CV. The scenario I created is in the HDS 9 Battle Set. I did not use a specific scenario. I placed 2 CV's in a TG and have saved games from both versions. There is a screen shot of the Readied…

Issue Information Issue ID #000041 Issue Type Suggestion Severity 0 – None Assigned Status UNFILED Version 2009.082 Fixed in Suggestion: log SAM firing arc limitationPosted by Grumble on 21 August 2013 - 12:14 PM In short: We have missile (SAM?) arc limitation enforced from 2009.082, but unlike guns this happens silently for missiles. This often left me dumbfounded, why doesn't my Belknap engage that bogey?? And I actually read the release notes and celebrated the new GE arcs with Enrique , so I feel the new feature could turn frustrating for the average player unless it is made more visible. The suggestion is to have the missile arc enforcements logged simil…

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: 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
