[WAD] Enemy Missles fired from beyond effective range?

[dillonkbase]

So it looks like the AI just launched a a ton of missiles that had no change of reaching me. Not sure what happened here. Duelist is the scenario.

Side note:

Is the sidewinder package on the nimrod normal... I took out a few of the enemy recon planes with my recon planes... they did not even try to evade?

Logged. Thanks!

That took a while lol

[Dimitris]

We were "a little" busy.

[dillonkbase]

no problem

Okay this cropped up again... same scenario, build 536.

Not only are none of the soviet missiles going within range of the UK fleet, but some of them are heading EAST.. not sure where they are headed.

attached are the save files.. let me know if you need more help with this.

[dillonkbase]

here's the files sorry

[dillonkbase]

I think i may have messsed up the auto saves a bit... but autosave40 is before the missiles are in the air... to repro the autosave file... load autosave40 turn on all the invincible emitters and jammers... and wait...

Ran this a few times with B540.

Depending on the fire control solution the Soviets get at your ships (which is non-deterministic), the bulk of the incoming SSMs will either come right at you or slightly miss the bearing and fly by. The Soviets are really hampered in this scenario by the scarcity of regular targeting updates (some sat passes may help.... Mike?).


BTW, remember every time someone brings up the short range for AI torpedo shots and we're forced to re-explain that the _practical_ fire range for LOAL weapons is typically much smaller than the maximum kinematic range? This is an excellent demonstration of what we mean. Watch those Shipwrecks pass by, just outside onboard seeker range...

Noticed another issue, the Shipwrecks are not at that moment under positive datalink control yet they react to target location updates. Logged this as a separate item.

Thanks!
