1566 Final Phase of Missiles

Post by kahta »

I am unable to save the game for upload because because I am getting a message "Object not set to an instance of an object", but the P-800 missiles are circling and searching for the targets when they reach the target instead of strikinking it directly.

In the picture, you can see the track of the missiles and then the ones that have reached the destination and are searching for a target with radar active.

This can almost certainly be replicated by loading the scenario I uploaded here (https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... hp?f=10230) and ordering a strike with P-800s from one of the Project 1080 arsenal ships.

What exactly is the target? I have no problem hitting hard, soft land structures and runways with them. Off the top of my head the target could be to small for the radar to pick up as it is optimized for anti-ship not ground attack

Also your link is broken it just takes me to the tech support forum front page.

Have you tried since the new patch?

The reason I noticed is that I was seeing an abnormal number of AAA hits. As it turns out, the AAA was making the hits as the missiles were circling with the radar on and searching for the target.

The target is the airbase at Keflavik

Is this supposed to be a link to a scenario?

Specifically what part of the airbase, I need to know what the missiles were trying to hit. You just linked to another persons thread/save

I'm very confused about what is being shown.

My apologies.this was the link I meant to originally post. The issue i am reporting is in the scenario I posted here:

https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... 0&t=409242

The missiles were launched at the runways, runway access points, and aircraft shelters.

Initial copy + paste error compounded by fat finger error when responding from my phone. Hopefully I've cleared it up now

I'm not able to reproduce this in our current build, can you try and recreate it? I don't want to say its fixed because something very specific could be happening here

Yes, this is working as expected now in 1567

This is now happening with a P-700.

The P-700 can't hit ground targets, only ships so are you saying its circling after missing a ship or what? All I see from you r save is them flying off after presumably missing a target. Please actually describe whats happening so I don't have to guess every time

My apologies.

The ship it was targeting sunk before it reached it. Instead of proceeding straight with the radar on looking for the next target it spun in circles.

Check for null object references in code; missile behavior needs adjustment.

Noticed this with Tomahawks while testing the last build.

They are jammed and trying to hit a French ship, but it is not there.

Is it a bug or a normal consequence of being jammed?

Difficult to assess without a scenario...

Ok, I have the before scenario and the scenario when is already happening.

This was a US vs France carriers scenario posted some time ago in the forum. Seems to be reproducible because there are many Ts in the air and some of them will survive the ADs and start to circle.

If you load the after, the circle will dissolve instantly with every T following a different direction.
