Defect Name: Suicidal ASW Attacks Build: Basic HCE installation. Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: Not Sure (Westpac from HCE install?) Scenario used: Backyard Long Description: AI sends May ASW aircraft to attack the carrier group. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Load Savegame. 2. Watch as May ASW planes try to attack the carrier formation. Expected behaviour: Not sending ASW planes with very short range weapons to attack a fully stocked carrier group. Observed behaviour: The May ASW planes try to attack the group (no subs in the group either). My guess is the "Sea" rating on the ASW-LR loadout's weapon "USET-95" (range 7.0) is causing the AI to …

Hello Everytime I try to add an helo to a destroyer or a non-CV ship I get this message: 3 days ago everything worked fine but I had a corrupt file at some point when using the PE editor. So I've been uninstalling and reinstalling for 3 times now and since then I always get this message. Any help would be really appreciated.

Hello, I am playing an user scenario. When an air patrol is set to an intercept duty the AI repeat the air patrol launching another patrol of the same fighter with the same loadout. But when an air patrol is shot down by enemy while it is set to patrol duty the AI doesn´t repeat the air patrol. No patrols take off to replenish lost ones and you should set another air patrol manually if you want to. So the AI doesn´t repeat patrols for the AI side.

Went to add some Chinese planes to a base while updating one of my scenarios. I couldn't find any Chinese Ships, Planes or Bases. Finally stumbled on them in the SE. It appears that Chine has been changed to Side. I checked the PE and China is listed for all db entries I checked. I have included a copy of the PE and SE files in the download. I checked multiple versions of my PE, the issue seems to be consistently there. I have updated other scenarios lately and haven't noticed before. I am using 2021.009 version of HC. I haven't checked older versions yet. A screen shot is below for your viewing pleasure! …

Low Priority: In the SE when moving the position of a group to a west longitude it lists the longitude as east.

If a target is ordered to be attacked by an aircraft within gun range but outside gun arc (with no other weapons available) then a staff message is received "Sir, should we engage with only cannon fire?" If you answer yes the game will crash. If you answer no then your plane proceeds on its current course with no action. If you determine the bearing of the enemy plane using ctrlF then use course editor F3 to head generally in that direction you can engage the enemy. I'd expect that you should be able to answer yes to the staff message and have your aircraft turn to engage (if it turns fast enough), or at least not crash game. The test uses westpac BS and HCWW-101…

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.
