Reporting a DB issue in NACV battleset

[mack]

Played the NACV scenario #15 "Retreat". The Soviet unit CVHG Baku has mount/weapon mismatch. The SA-N-9 launchers has been given SS-N-9 Siren anti-ship missiles.

Edit - 

Also the Badger-J doesn't have any jammers in it's loadout (like how the EA-6B has them). So it becomes useless for anything except providing a surface search radar backup to the Bear D.

And the Nimrod ASW plane having sidewinders is making the AI use it for intercepting air units even though it's the ASW loadout. It's going for them even if that air unit is a 12 plane squadron of Flankers. They're probably better off with those removed from the ASW loadout.

That is what is known as a pre-commondb BattleSet so it does not use the user modifiable databases.  I strongly suggest players only play the EC2003 and 'newer' BattleSets as they use the user-created databases and also don't have sub-optimal (i.e. compatibility) logic.

I figured that might be the case, but I've played that mission quite a while and never seen it have the SSM's instead of the SAMs. Maybe it was and I just never noticed.

Ah, I missed the nuance about SAM vs. SSM.  It appears things went awry between HC97 and HC2002 per the attached screenshots I just grabbed.  

Can you post in the Issue Reports forum?  Be specific about the BattleSet since this is a BattleSet specific issue and is not related to HCDB.

 

Thanks for bringing it up!

You can 'fix' this one by copying NACV.res and NACV.rsr from HUCE\HC20\WH00163D\ to HUCE\ but that may re-introduce other issues (like Baku being type AFS instead of CVHG, Kalinin no longer being a BCGN, etc.)

I'll try looking at GIUK origninal Badger J
