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 knows the location and hostility of the aircraft.

4. Order Backfire to launch ASMs at CVBG.

5. CVBG will now fire SAMs at Backfire

 

Expected behaviour: Strike aircraft should be engaged by SAMs.

Observed behaviour: Strike aircraft only engaged by formation air patrols with AAMs and AAA.
