Ignoring All Contacts on ASW Mission

[HailRider]

I am very new to CMO.

I am finding that on my ASW patrol mission, the helicopters abandon the mission path to investigate new contacts. Is there a way to prevent that?

I have already set the following.

MISSION:
OFF Investigate unknown contacts outside patrol area
OFF Investigate unknown contacts within weapon range

NONE Number of a/c that investigate unknown contacts
NONE Number of a/c that engage hostile contacts

EMCON:
NO Ignore plotted course

Thanks!

May you attach the scenario or save zipped?

I am using the included ASW tutorial.

Could this behaviour be due to scenario settings?

This is an old annoying bug.

That's from 2024. Does that mean tis will not be addressed?

Any ideas of a workaround. For the tutorial it is a minor inconvenience, but for a large operation with multiple groups it could get onerous.

Thanks Swant, old bug indeed.


HailRider, I never noticed it while playing, because to investigate them is the best thing you can do.

You will learn the dangerous a hostile sub can be.

Better to destroy first and ask later

It means it's low priority. We occasionally still fix things reported in the Obama presidency
