[1304.1] Possible issue with M30A1 & PrSM

[DimiHendrix]

Hello , i was making a script to BOL artillery at a grid square (similar to what you have IRL ) and i noticed that the enemy units did not take damage at all even if they are in blast radius . Tested with M270 with m30a1 and prsm misssiles. 155mm shells killed the targets so i guess the problem is with the missiles . Here is the script :

Code: Select all

local units = ScenEdit_SelectedUnits( )
local ip = ScenEdit_GetReferencePoint( { side="GR", name="G_E"} )

local rn=0
local latlon=0
math.randomseed(os.time())
for d,unit in pairs(units.units) do

    for i=1,12,1 do
    
    rn = math.random(0,269)/1000
    print(rn)
    latlon = World_GetPointFromBearing( { latitude = ip.latitude, longitude = ip.longitude,
    distance = rn, bearing = math.random(0,359) } )
    print(latlon.latitude)
    
    ScenEdit_AttackContact( unit.guid, 'BOL', { mode='1', mount=3433, weapon=3136, qty=1,latitude=latlon.latitude,longitude=latlon.longitude } )


    end
    
end

select the 6 m270s and run the script .

Also a notice : Why are we not able to launch artillery shells and unguided rockets at a location without a target? My opinion is that this is a major limitation and not how real life artillery works .

Actually this warhead problem is somewhat old, happened between the later days of 1147 branch and early days of Tiny branch. Origianally it affects all small HE warheads, like almost all GMRLS, PrSM, SM-6 land attack variant and SM-4 Standard Land Attack Missile.

Later in Tiny branch some part of this issue is fixed, certain GMRLS and PrSM HE warheads work, but M30A1 HE, M30A1 Alt Weahead, SM-6 and SM-4 still don't do any harm to the target, only missing by some single digit of meters and that's all.
