Rag,

it appears that in manual weapon allocation dialogue I am able - so it seems - to allocate almost infinite (I stopped in the middle) amount of ammo towards one target.
Example:
in air operation tutorial I have a flight of 6 A-7E with AGM-45B, CBU-59/B APAM load.
I chose manual weapon allocation.
I select an attacking unit and a target.
I allocate cluster ammo by clicking on the black description, I can assign any number I want. Does it actually fire that amount? Have not tested, but I should not be able to allocate more weapons then there are on board. Even if these "weapons" are never used and its just a graphical/technical issue without any impact on gameplay - should not happen.
Allocating using the indented red line works when you start with the red line, if all allocated line just disappears.
Having used the black line of suitable weapon once to "over-allocate" I am from that point on also able to use the red line to select more weapons than present.
Hope I made my issue clear?
Thanks for looking into it,
Martin

Hi Martin,

Would be fantastic if you could make some screenshots and perhaps add some arrows/circles etc to show us exactly what you mean. A savegame with instructions would be great as well. That way it is much easier to understand what you think is broken, and come up with ways to fix it.

Thanks! [8D]

Thank you all for ongoing and swift support,

There might be a limit on days they keep it available for non-registered user, as it was uploaded 3 like 3 weeks ago I assume its gone.

I had not kept a copy of my slide I sent. I might redo the more graphical representation of my original post these days.

See attached save file. I guess it could be any save file, also works with aircraft as I have seen in air ops tutorial.

Load the file.
Shift-F1 to manually attack whats left of the Nanutchka.
See we have 9 RIMs left in the 2 VLSs.
Allocate RIMs to the target by double-clicking. You can actually (on the display, at least)allocate any number you want, even if there are no weapons left. It does not fire them, of course, only fires the correct numbers of weapons that we assume to be on board, its only the graphical representation that I believe has a glitch. Not important, but still...you know...

Thanks!

Funny, I just tried it and it if I allocate more than available it resets the number to the most available.

This is on a test I built for testing reloads and ESSM loads. SO it is not the same as your incident.
