Have I mentnioed lately that I hate you <_ just like the arm one this is and good timing may as well fix many of type possible in go. thanks herman.>

Have I mentnioed lately that I hate you

 

Yes, sir. Every day and twice on Sunday.

 

I had a thought on possible causes. Could it be expecting a nuclear weapon in the Weapons Allocation window?

 

The game did not grant me nuclear release at that time and I have not checked to see if a nuclear weapon would appear in the window if I hit Alt+F3, either.

Moved to Mantis #2427.

Tested with 2008.002.

In the saved game, either AFC's subs are entirely undectable or they aren't there at all, so I can't confirm this.

I saved that scenario a bit 'close to the quick'. You have to be very fast to try and launch that sub attack because the target sub disappears within 1-2 seconds of the test scen being run. Sorry. I would have given a bit more leeway had I known it might be a problem.
