New Beta Display Issue - No SU's in combat

Post by dr125 »

I just downloaded the new beta and am having a strange issue. When going over battle reports/watching the AI turn, I find I cannot see the support units involved in the battle. I am able to see them on attacks I initiate during my turn however. I am pretty sure this is a display bug and not just that SU's are not fighting as some combats more losses are present than are in the main units (ex. 11th Rifle Division T1 looses 24 tanks). Attached is the save, though I loaded up a couple of other scenarios and switched sides and have the same issue.

I think what you are seeing in the losses are losses by units that rout into the hex during the turn, and then take retreat losses when the battle is lost. These unit don't count their elements as in the battle, but can suffer losses. We are seeing plenty of cases after turn 1 of AI support units shown in AI attacks. There may be an issue on turn 1 with AI scripts in not having support units commit to the battles, but I'd need to see something after the initial turn to say this is something happening after the turn 1 script.

Yes, on second looks it seems to be something about T1. I booted up VL for speed test of this and had the same issue, but did see support units T2 and after. While I have the save, the opening combat at VL looks kinda strange. 7kish Soviets attack the 7kish strong garrison in lvl 3 forts and win with equal casualties. On Normal difficulty.

Not sure how you got that attack to happen. The script always wins when executing. The question is why was there an attack when no attack was scripted. I just ran VL and didn't get that attack, and I know it was not in the original script.

I have no idea. I have not touched a thing in that department and as far as I am aware updated with the patch no problem. Ran it again as the Germans and the same thing happened, though of course slightly different losses.

Weird, I can't duplicate it when I run the Soviet AI first turn.
