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.

One of the main ideas of active radar homing missiles is to not reveal the launcher plane position, but with those actiones their position is revealed…

Issue Information ⦁ Issue ID #000164 ⦁ Issue Type Issue ⦁ Severity 0 – None Assigned ⦁ Status 11 – Cannot Reproduce ⦁ Version 2016.010 ⦁ Fixed in "Phantom" groups splitting groups in SEPosted by broncepulido on 05 November 2016 - 01:21 AM For sake of accelerate scenario building, many times I build a group with many units (Iranian MANPADS in this example), and later split it to place the diverse units on the map. Now, in SC 2016.10 (and probably in previous versions), if you split the group, the new group is not showed on the map at first instance. But you can select it alternatively with the space bar and delete keys, and after selected you can "change group posi…

Issue Information Issue ID #000024 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 – None Assigned Status 91 – Duplicate Version 2009.076 Fixed in Dead fish in the water - Red subs do not navigatePosted by Grumble on 16 June 2013 - 09:33 AM Playing HDS2 3.0, Convoy Ho!, red submarines were painfully hard to detect, yet they were themselves very passive. I checked what are they up to with Show All. Looks like there is a some problem, either with the scenario or with the AI navigation, SE shows red groups would need to do creep speed on their patrol routes, except perhaps ZKU, starting from further North at 25kts, but ZKU would also slow down to 5kts after reaching the expecte…

Issue Information Issue ID #000001 Issue Type Issue Severity 0 – None Assigned Status 91 – Duplicate Version 2015.028 Fixed in 2016.002 Undetermined problem finishing scenarioPosted by broncepulido on 13 March 2016 - 02:14 PM Just when I was finishing the building of a great scenario, something is wrong and now the scenario can't start (it only lacks delete some US submarines, add paths and speeds to submarines and add other chinese ships). I was thinking the problem was the Stennis Group (AEC), but I'm not sure (perhaps after change variable start points, but I don't see it clear). Too late in the day to find it now!

Issue Information Issue ID #000058 Issue Type Suggestion Severity 0 – None Assigned Status 30 – Feature Request Version 2009.097 Fixed in GE - Enable player to set initial formation of surface groupsPosted by Grumble on 05 October 2013 - 06:59 AM Allow the player to rearrange formation of surface (&submarine) groups at the start of the scenario, as if in SE. I start most scenarios by rearranging formations of my surface groups. For 2 to 6 hours my ships are just transiting to stations I prefer. During this time my groups are not battle ready as would want them to be. Ships also either transit at flank speed, not good if enemy subs are around, or I h…
