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…

Defect Name: Shot down during landing [2005] Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-070524 Scenario used: Stage Fright [EC2003 IOPG] User-created Long Description: Air Group BJA consisted of four aircraft. BJA is in the process of landing. Two have already landed. One was shot down. The final aircraft in the group is about to be shot down. When it is shot down, the two aircraft already on the ground will be stranded in limbo and listed as Landing, but they will never move out of that phase and are forever lost to the player/AI. This situation is easily replicable for any DB and is definitely not specific to HCDB. Sequence to r…

Defect Name: Specific Class not possible in ViConds Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-071223 Scenario used: Specific Class not possible in ViConds.scm Long Description: Unable to select the Class category for any type of Victory Condition. Consequently, scenario designers are no longer able to specify individual bases for ViConds. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Attempt to modify/add ViCond to scenario 2. No combination of selections will allow the user to specify destruction of Keflavik [only] as a ViCond Expected behaviour: ViConds should allow for more specific conditions Observed behaviour: Individual bases can no l…

Defect Name: Sub ignores patrol zone Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-070524 Scenario used: Sub ignores patrol zone.sc1 Long Description: Sub ignores assigned formation patrol zone. This problem was first identified by Mark Kratzer. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Start Sub ignores patrol zone.SC1 in GIUK battleset from USSR side 2. Select sub group ZPU 3. Order sub group to detach the SSGN Echo from the group and only leave the Victor within the group 4. Run compression at high speed 5. You can see that the Victor has been assigned to the SE quadrant, but it never goes there. 6. The sub runs at 19kts to some imaginary point…

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 …

Defect Name: Units do not move to new patrol zones Build: HCE 2007.000 Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: HCDB-070524 Scenario used: Units do not move to new patrol zones.sc1 Long Description: Units do not move to new patrol zones when size of zones is changed Sequence to reproduce: 1. Change formation zone sizes to: 10nm, 20nm, 30nm, and 40nm. 2. Do NOT make any changes to ship assignments. 3. Run at high compression to allow ships to move to new zone 4. After formation is stabilized, check distances between ships. Type 42 has been assigned a zone between 20-30nm and should thus be 25-30nm from the ship at the centre of the formation (CVH) Un…
