[WAD]No option to set a separate “Persecution Area” for patrol missions in Beta version 1.07.1544

Bug Report
Game Version (Beta): 1.07.1544

---

Subject
No option to set a separate “Persecution Area” for patrol missions in the Beta version

---

Description
In the current Beta (1.07.1544), it is possible to define a Patrol Area for a mission, but the separate “Persecution Area” option appears to be missing—unlike in the non-Beta version (v1.07.1527), where both Patrol and Persecution Areas can be configured.

After reviewing the official Build 1544 Release Notes, there is no mention of this feature being intentionally removed or changed. Therefore, I am reporting this in case its removal is accidental.

---

Frequency
Always (as of the current Beta build)

---

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new patrol mission.
   Attempt to assign a separate Persecution Area, as in the non-Beta release.
2. Observe that no option exists to set the second area.

Attached Files
• Screenshot illustrating the missing “Persecution Area” functionality.

Additional Notes
• This feature is still present in the current non-Beta version (v1.07.1527).
• There is no mention of its removal in the v1.07 Build 1544 Release Notes.

Thank you for looking into this! If you need any additional information, please let me know.

The prosecution zone option only shows up if you have the "investigate targets outside the patrol area" (paraphrase) option checked.

edit: I think the change was made several builds ago.

Ah great, thanks! In my memory, this option was always shown. Then this is WAD and can be closed.

I can't get the "prosecution function" to work. The aircraft leaves the CAP area, but doesn't engage the enemy. It starts out for a few seconds, but returns to the CAP area.
Thanks for your support.

As is always asked, you should create a separate thread for an issue. Especially if its a different issue than the OP's.

Can you please open a new thread and provide a suitable save that demonstrates this issue.

Thanks!
