Defect Name: Lost contact

Build: HCE 2007.000

Repeatable: Y

Operating System: XP

DB used: HCDB-070524

Scenario used: Lost contact.hpq

Long Description: Aircraft approaching a sub group turn back to land even when asked if the want to continue the search.

 

Sequence to reproduce:

1. Allow torpedo attack to be resolved against ZXu. You may have to run this a few times. In most cases, the torpedoes should sink the SSGN.

2. Once Oscar is sunk, image "Lost contact 1" is shown requesting if search should continue

 

 

3. Then image "Lost contact 2" appears

 

 

4. Air group then returns to base even if there are still other subs in group ZXu

 

Expected behaviour: Air groups should continue sub search when ordered to do so.

Observed behaviour: Air groups RTB regardless of player orders.

Annoying for sure, they shoudl at least go to the target area and loiter when ordered to continue searching.

I'm not all that happy that the 'continuing prosecution of target' is really loitering where the group is at the time, but that's how it is...
