Are you attempting an intercept with an airbourne ac group or launching a new group from a base. In this situation we've never been able to launch a new ac group to attack a missile group. You must launch it as a patrol then do an intercept. If attempting an intercept by an airbourne group then I think it should at least assign it as a target. Have you tried the same thing in a manageable sized scenario?

Wow, very interesting, once I found the English version switch

While Russia is still busy fighting it's war with Ukraine she has been harassing other countries with aircraft incursions, but Turkey fights back.

This might be getting close save game ...B1 should be 1 or 2 secs before the red group (2 ac unit) fires on blue group (single ac unit). I believe AI wants to fire 4 missiles but only fires 2, 4 out of 8 are remaining. save game ...B1.0002 is shortly after and in one or two seconds the red group expends all LR missile but none are fired. Using DB HCDB2-170909, westpac BS, GE vers 2025.025 pacMissTest-B1.zip

I've done a small revision of the test scenario by deleting one blue base and adding some blue planes of the same type as I set to patrol in the red base. The scenario and a few saved games are in the zip attached. The save games are (if I remember correctly) 1/ playing blue I send up two patrolilng ac and flys towards the red base, they are intercepted by the red formation patrol identical AC with identical loadout who fire 4 LR missile at me but have only 2 out of 8 left. I attack and AI suggests I fire 6 missile, I fire 6 and have 2 left. 2/ a little later the red intercepting plains 'loose' their remaining 2 missile but none have been fired. 3/ similar but I send up a single patrolling AC. I'll simplify further and try for a game save a second before red fires, but what seems to be happening is that AI is deciding to fire X number of missiles, X is deleted from the planes available missiles but less than X are actually fired. pacMissTest-A.zip

I think it's simulating shody launch rails😁 I have a couple of test ideas and should look at it tonight. I've been in the bush for a couple of days but did a quick run and saw the same thing happen. It is the AI side that has the problem, initial number minus number fired is greater than number left. The only add I have at moment is that store consumed procedure tallys with the number of missile fired and in the attacking missile group.

I don't for certain but does the steam hc97 have a scenario editor that would let you edit the battleset scenario and replace the units with something more suitable. It sounds like a clerical error in putting the database together. In these old games the database is built into the game,so fixing it is a major item that I'd guess isn't likely to happen, but who knows. Someone else might very well have better ideas.

View File Operation FRUKIS For play with Harpoon Classic vers 2022.027 or newer, Middle East Battleset and HCCW 140314 Database. Israel invaded Egypt on 29 October 1956, having done so with the primary objective of re-opening the Straits of Tiran and the Gulf of Aqaba as the recent tightening of the eight-year-long Egyptian blockade further prevented Israeli passage. After issuing a joint ultimatum for a ceasefire, the United Kingdom and France joined the Israelis on 5 November, seeking to depose Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser and regain control of the Suez Canal. [from wikipedia Suez Crisis Suez Crisis - Wikipedia ] In this scenario I've used as much as possible the platforms in use then by each country, but much reduced in numbers and non historically correct locations, and a very simplified strategic plan. The platforms of this era (and upto say late 60's) are interesting to use with usually radar controlled gunnery as primary AA defense and non guided short ranged rocket or bombs as primary aircraft launched surface attack weapons. The lack of terrain following ac equipment prevents close formation multi ac attacks instead requiring either high exposure to detection multi ac formation or multiple effectively single ac wave skimming attacks. Even in the early 70's non formation but close proximity wave skimming attacks by A4 skyhawks was still practiced by RAN fleet air arm.

View File Tarakan Passage WW2 For play in HC game version 2022.027 (matrix patch) or newer. Westpac BS and using database HCWW 101110. 21 January, 1941, a Japanese invasion fleet of one light cruiser, ten destroyers, four minesweepers, three submarine chasers, three patrol boats and sixteen transport ships left Tarakan for Balikpapan, (oil rich areas of Borneo). A MLD Dornier spotted the fleet that same day, but heavy clouds with strong winds and prolonged rain prevented the plane from shadowing the fleet. On the next day, U.S. Navy submarines S-40, Pickerel, Porpoise, Saury, Spearfish and Sturgeon were ordered to intercept the fleet. Later, they were joined by Dutch submarines K-XIV and K-XVIII. Sturgeon fired several torpedoes on the convoy and reported sinking three ships. However, postwar records failed to confirm any damages to the convoy. In this scenario a simplified version of the situation is recreated with the submarine force intercepting the south bound invasion fleet at the narrow northern entrance to the Makassar Strait.
