This will probably be the last build for a little while. We have to get a new demo build out in the next couple of days. I'm regretting opening the hornet's nest of attacking ships and subs in port. That is some of the toughest code and of course is pretty key to the game. It should have been left to the grand re-working but I may revamp it before then since I did stir up the hornet's nest.

Sorry. It doesn't work.

Load the saved game Sibmis2009-005 in EC2003 GIUK.

The Red bombers have detected the surfaced sub and the minesweeper, but trying to attack the sub brings up a blank WAD.

I'm thinking you should revert to .004 for the release and leave it be for now.

I'm seriously considering going back to 2008.068 actually. That or re-writing all of the targeting code from scratch since it is just wrong and hammering a square peg into a round hole just isn't working. Anyway, confirmed this behavior you are seeing. Otherwise so far I'm thinking 2009.005 is better than the other 2009.xxx builds so far. I'm not seeing the benefit of going back to 2009.004 at present.

Try using a large heavy mallet. That usually takes care of most problems (particularly computer problems).
