I posted this over on the Github site and Pygmalion suggested it should instead be posted here. It may be related to the way the propulsion system is set-up (it's apparently modelled as 'nuclear' in game.)

Zephyr is a solar powered high altitude drone (sometimes called a 'pseudo-satellite') used by ...

I'm not sure of the point of this in a 'real' war situation (which is what most scenarios in the game are) would be. Are you going to take the word of an unidientified contact that they're a friendly? Is a hostile contact always going to reply truthfully?

It would be very sporting of them to do so ...

I think this might be a new bug for the B1436 beta - it did not exist in the same scenario in B1405

I noticed when trying an old scenario in B1436 that helicopters were being reassigned to new bases and RTBing on take off.

Helo's in question were less than 300km from base (using the inbuilt ...

I was messing about with a scenario involving the Charles De Gualle carrier and noticed that her Rafales can now carry MICA EM/IR NG missiles - but I was wondering about the (seemingly) extreme performance update for them?

The previous MiCA EM/IR missiles have 8.0 seconds of rocket fuel but the NG ...

Noticed this by accident in a home made scenario I have in the Middle East.

Aircraft (or, at least some aircraft) will enter a No Nav zone in order to take a direct route to tanker aircraft on the other side. They will also re-enter the NNZ to fly back to their mission station on the most direct ...

Apologies, forgot to include a save file Spear Test (3).zip - I just set up a really simple scenario to demonstrate it.

The Northern Blue side F-35 is assigned to an air intercept mission. It will detect the Red side AEW aircraft and approach it before launching SPEAR EW missiles at it. There is ...

Thanks for the reply, I've already reported it there and PygmalionOfCyprus told me to report it here as a bug - its database entry is correct but ita doing things the database says it shouldn't?

There's been a change in beahviour for the SPEAR EW (weapon #3690) in the latest database and I don't know if it's fully intended.

Previously when using the weapon you could only fire it as a BOL and then manually control it if necessary.

Now when loaded and in flight the weapon will automatically ...
