Bomber Units Reversing Direction Bug

[Nicholas Bell]

I just experienced this bug twice and it is ugly. Allied bombers in BTR flying home after bombing turn around and fly back toward the target for sometime, then turn around. Apart from flying around without an escort and getting slaughtered, they end up landing after dark and take even more losses.

I have two turns saved which can replayed so you can see the problem with your own eyes if you want. Let me know and I will email or post them for download.

Hope I'm wrong, but I suspect this one will be difficult to track down as does not happen all the time.

It was in the old game, I rebuilt the fuel use and waypoint system from the ground up, and still managed to repeat it. My problem is exactly as you say - Noone has ever been able to provide a save file where it is guaranteed to happen...

argh...

I am thinking it maybe an attack just as the raid is about to hit the next waypoint, and the raid misses the way point, then turns to go back to last waypoint to get on back onto the correct path

it does seem to fly back to the last waypoint and then turn around

Last night I played a few Schweinfurt raids (the 1-turn tutorial) to see how bad could I do it (LOL), and in one occasion one of the BG bombed four or five times in a row the same target. In every pass the Flak was taking its toll, and in the end they lost more than half of its force just over the target. Is this a proper behaviour?. It was the full unit, no stragglers, so it seemed strange to me.

Otherwise I'm having a great time with the game, HS.
