Fulcrums not Illuminating for some AA-10 Attacks

Post by jonpspri »

I first noticed this playing the 1147.40 patch. Save games are from 1147.42. I thought it might be related to the look-down radar change, but I'm not sure.

As promised, I've attached some saved files.

First thing's first - it appears the AA-10 SARH missiles are missing because the Fulcrums never illuminate the targets, so I'm likely wrong about the look-down radar being a factor in illumination. Is there a reason the AI doesn't illuminate for the initial attack?

Hells Highway - 0.save : Flight Risk62 (2 Falcons) is about to engage Bogeys 167 and 168 (Fulcrums) near 10 deg E, 66 deg N.
Hells Highway - 1.save : The Bogeys fire the first of what will be 3 AA-10s at the Falcons.
Hells Highway - 2.save : Three AA-10s have passed the Falcons. The Fulcrums never illuminated the Falcons. The Falcons will now close.
Hells Highway - 3.save : A Fulcrum fires Missle 172 (the last AA-10). This time it illuminates the target Falcon. Notice the significant altitude distance at this time (Almost 35000 ft vertical vs 20000ish horizontal), but it appears the illumination does work for the missile.
Hells Highway - 4.save : Missile 172 just missed (only a 19% PH). Now the engagement devolves into a hairball.

All of these were saves from a playthrough on Build 1147.42.

I'm not sure I'm complaining, because my Falcons are regularly getting the better of the Fulcrums, but I'm surprised the Fulcrums are not illuminating for their missile attacks. All thoughts welcome.

I think my save game got lost in the forum transition.
