Three patrols within formation about Richmond base have been set P3s dropping sonar buoys to track their path. See screen shot, the two P3s patrolling the centre circle only patrol the east of north 1/8th segment.

I expect them to patrol the whole central circular zone.

Confirmed in 2021.010.  The P3s in the Main Body only appear to be patrolling in the 0-45 degree or so slice. 

Fixed in 2021.011, thanks donaldseadog!  Since there is no way to select sectors (pie slices) in the main body (center ring of formation), the game assumed it was the first sector, 0-44 degrees.  I added code to look 0-359 degrees if the unit is assigned to the main body.

if (ring > 0)

  bearing = random(45);

else

  bearing = random(360);

 

I forgot to mention the positive, the p2s were patrolling correctly within other segments\zones between correct radii boundaries
