Mission Targets changing

[simovitch]

In the one-week Oil Campaign I scenario, I plotted raids on the big synthetic fuel targets. All is well until I end the planning phase and the targets suddenly change to the nearby Electrical Plant.

Loads of my bombers get wasted by the heavy flak as they pass over the juicy fuel targets and bomb the bejeezus out of the lousy power plant.[:@]

Weather is not a factor and I can get this to repeat every time... is this WAD?

[Hard Sarge]

end of the day, did it change back to the hammers as the target ?

if so, it is not a WAD, but it is something that happens

give me a chance to see if I can start making it happen and see what is going on

[Hard Sarge]

added to the list, it is something that can happen, doesn't always happen, but can be made to happen over and over again

normally, it is not as bad as you have seen it

the AI will change targets, not sure if it is planned, or the AI gets confused (one reason, I have been speading the targets apart)

[Hard Sarge]

okay

so far so good

first off, not sure if this is the reason or not, but this is a JC target, I have noticed that some of the targets JC added, were also the ones that acted oddly (I have a screw ball idea on the how and why, but am not sure if is that, or just a oddity with the data)

I have replaced, relinked it to the data and so far, my raids are now hitting the targets they are plotted too

not sure if we can say it is fixed, but it is working better, and gives me something to look for, to try and stop other sites from acting up

OK, it's not quite as repeatable as I thought, and it seems to go away if you vary the altitude (and/or take off times I'll wager). In fact I can't get it to repeat the past few times...[&:]

[Hard Sarge]

yea, I have seen that happen before too, the more you plot it, the more it works right

but I got it working better now, for what it is worth
