Search Arcs Sometimes Reset Themselves

[thedoctorking]

I'm not sure what happened here - I started this scenario, a "raider intercepted" scenario by resetting, as I always do, the search arcs of my air bases to actually cover the area where the fight will take place. At first, the planes and airships went the right way, but after a few turns I noticed that one of my airships was heading away from the fight into the wild blue Pacific, and sure enough, the search arc of the base, Shana in the Kuriles, had been reset to its original bizarre settings. Those naval air guys have their own ideas, regardless of the orders they've received, eh?

This has happened several times now in different circumstances, so it doesn't appear to be related to the bug where the search arcs are wrong in raider intercepted scenarios.

Also, I didn't save and then restore the game, so it isn't related to that error that I've reported before either.

Thanks, we'll investigate.

This is still happening. Check out the search arc for Casablanca - we obviously think the British have developed land battleships and are attacking us from the Sahara. I've reset these twice now. It kind of sucks that I'm spending so much for land-based air squadrons here and they are doing absolutely nothing in the battle because they are searching the wrong way and won't obey orders to change their approach.

This is a carrier battle, btw, not a raider battle where this business of odd search arcs used to happen.

Checking regularly, looks like they reset about every hour.

The carriers had funny search arcs when I started but I reset them and they stayed as they should be. This might explain why the enemy never launched any strikes at me during the battle.

I had a second battle, almost exactly the same as the first one: enemy carriers didn't launch any strikes at my ships, I battered them severely, I had to change the search arcs of the land-based air every few minutes of playing time (every 100 or so minutes of game time), I did get some strikes out of my land-based air this time. A clear error in battle generation that the AI can't overcome.
