January 14, 20251 yr If a target is ordered to be attacked by an aircraft within gun range but outside gun arc (with no other weapons available) then a staff message is received "Sir, should we engage with only cannon fire?" If you answer yes the game will crash. If you answer no then your plane proceeds on its current course with no action. If you determine the bearing of the enemy plane using ctrlF then use course editor F3 to head generally in that direction you can engage the enemy. I'd expect that you should be able to answer yes to the staff message and have your aircraft turn to engage (if it turns fast enough), or at least not crash game. The test uses westpac BS and HCWW-101110 DB. I used GE version 2024.006 (but I've been seeing the issue for quite some time). To reproduce start the saved game, your (sole) aircraft group should be active (selected), the enemy plane group is likely hidden in the GUI but is visible, issue attack F1 command (there should be only one available target) and answer yes to the staff message. There is a brief pause of a a few seconds and the game crashes. The saved game and the original scenario are included. WW_cannon_GunArc.scq.zip
February 28, 20251 yr So far I cannot reproduce this in 2025.011. I order the attack and usually the Red plane gets shot down after some seconds, no crash in 8 or so runs of the saved game.
February 28, 20251 yr Author Sounds good I'll retest at my end tonight. This will help make ww2 scenario more interesting\less frustrating.

I'll download a new copy of HCWW and try again
March 1, 20251 yr Author I disabled export.dlls and no crash (I think my Toolbox, last one to remove), but my blue plane never turns to engage. Pesky red fighter continues to fire at me. You must be a better pilot? I'll think about what might be happening in toolbox to cause the problem so shelve it
