2.0.6 - ATGM Launch Tooltips

Love this!
OK, running OPLAN B and watching Holm-Seppensen. As it gets light enough, the T-80s start firing AT-11s. I am seeing cases where a tank co. shoots and there are multiple (up to 5 so far) ATGM launch lines in the tooltip.
So far, this has not happened with any US launched missiles.
Is this by design, and, if co, what is the significance of multiple missile launch notifications?

It might be showing more than one launch in the company. Rare I would think knowing the code, but possible. I'll keep an eye out myself to see if we are getting some kind of repeated message bug.

I don't know what "one launch" means.
I do see US mech plts launching ATGMs (single line tool tip) and several kills on the target Soviet unit.

The attacks can be made with a number of weapon systems (guns mainly) so the tip lets you know an ATGM was fired. Sounds like there is an odd case where either the tip is getting cut short in some cases (showing once) and perhaps getting oddly sequenced in large units that may be firing ATGMs like the tank company. I'll do some testing this weekend and see if something strange is going on or not.

Also seeing this on a 2 ship Hind section. Makes me think I am seeing a line in the tooltip for each launching platform.

Seeing something odd with helo ATGM. Set up the attached test scenario. I ran a 7 ship BO-105 unit up to 4 km from a BTR-60 MRC. Several command cycles of firing. Ammo remains at 92%. No hits. Dozens of missiles. Game save and scn attached. Set the delay high, like 2 sec and watch the unit hightlight boarder flash on attacker and target with each missile launch notification.

Jeff, thanks. I will look at that this morning. Sounds like a bug. I fought an issue in this area and thought it was dead for 2.06. Apparently not.
