I have experienced this before. I believe that it is related to the method you assign the planes to the mission. If you are in the mission screen, and you highlight the unit and then use the arrow button to drop the planes down to the assigned area, then you can experience this problem. It has ...

Screenshot (6).png
This pic show that the LEAD (SILENT #1) is at 1099 feet.

Screenshot (7).png
This pic shows that another plane (SILENT #2) in the group is at 3938 feet. This is consistent with all of the rest of the members of the group.

I have run numerous scenarios, with different planes ...

Somewhere in the past updates, a decision was made to not always make the first airplane the LEAD aircraft of the group. For instance:

Cosmo 1
Cosmo 2
Cosmo 3 [LEAD]
Cosmo 4

I was wondering when this was done, and why?

It appears to me that some of the reported issues where the LEAD is listed ...

That being right, why does the leader have a different behavior?

This issue may be associated with the reported issue whereby the LEADER attacks at the expected altitude, but the rest of the group is almost always much higher.

I was wrong. The altitude is different for both. It doesn't matter whether you set up the Flight Path, or the computer does it.

The screen will show that the group is flying at the proper altitude. But, if you switch to the individual view, then you will see that only the LEAD is at the proper ...

I'm running the current beta 1728.2

I just tried it by manually selecting the units, allowing the game to select the flight path, with me setting the take-off time, and everything works perfectly.

So, it seems to be confined to when the game is reacting to a discovered enemy for which it had ...

New Battle Altitude.7z

This is a very simple attack situation which I designed to allow the computer to conduct the attack through missions. Basically, the abnormal behavior occurs when the Lead aircraft of Flight Ouzo18 descends from 36000 feet to 1099 feet on the approach after reaching ...

The original point that I was trying to make is that you could have a sub on your side that is patrolling at a depth of 458 feet when a satellite flies over and reveals that a SAG is 200 miles away from the sub's position. As the game player, you can see it. As with all of your ships, they are ...

Knightpawn,

The way that I understand it, in theory, the Side Doctrine is the main governing body. The Mission Doctrine will overrule the Side Doctrine, if it differs. And, the Unit Doctrine is will overrule the Side Doctrine and the Mission Doctrine. That would mean that the Unit Doctrine TRUMPS ...

That was cool

Thanks for the info.

So, it would appear that the plane has 5, possibly 6, rails with which bombs could be attached. Since the loadout in the game lists 16, then that would mean that each rail would have to have at least 3, or possible 4 per rail. This is one loaded down plane.

I read the article. Thank you. It was very informative.

With regard to the game, playing from the POV position does not seem to erase the knowledge attained from the overall perspective. In other words, let's assume that the satellite flies over and sees the group pf enemy ships. As the game ...

I'm playing a scenario whereby the designer has a sub set at 381 feet and creeping along at 5 kts, with no known targets in its path.

A friendly satellite passes over and positively identifies a group of ships as being the enemy, and even identifies each by name.

In the game, the information is ...

Thanks,

First time messing around with the Rafele. It's a really nice plane. Comes fully loaded.

In the game, the Rafele B (and many other aircraft) often have a Max Payload of 0 kg. Obviously, that's not correct, so I looked it up. It actually has 9500 kg maximum payload.

In CMO, India's version of the Rafele B has an Aircraft Loadout ID of 26001 that I would like to ask about.
It carries 4 ...

Many ships now have cameras. These are extremely useful as they can visually identify the enemy from great distances. Some cameras are listed as being "Night Capable." Obviously, this means that that can be used in the dark.

My question is, are these cameras degraded in performance at all if the ...

Not that Google is a credible source, but it says that the Rampage can not be used against ships because it lacks the guidance to be able to hit moving targets. It's for land-based non-moving structures only. FWIW

Rampage.7z

If you look from a distance, then it appears that the missiles are about to strike the ship. But, if you zoom in, then you will see that the ship is motoring full speed away from where it was when the missiles were launched. The missiles don't turn on any type of radar, and make no ...

Thank you for the quick response.
