I attacked my own sunk DD

[Grotius]

I'm playing the US against the Japanese AI. I haven't installed any of the interim patches, though I have renamed sound files so that I can hear sound, sort of. Anyway, on Feb 23 1942 the IJN sank my DD Stewart at Batavia. The next day I launched this night air attack:

I actually remember getting a similar error in UV. Unfortunately, I don't have the save from just before I ran this turn, at least I don't think I do. After I ran the turn, I saved the game and the combatreport.txt, and it may be that I'll see the problem again if I run another turn, in which case I will have a savegame to submit.

I have attacked my own sub with night attacks several times. I have all patches installed. So far it has only happened when my sub has been in the same hex as an enemy task force.

What I want to know: if my planes are so good at finding my own subs how come they can't seem to find the allied subs? [;)]

At least you didn;t catch AA fire from it! LOL

I think you guys are getting "bleedover" combat reports from previous battles or turns. I have asked Frag to check on this as there are a lot of comments about combat reports being screwy

[Grotius]

Yeah, I suspect it's just a bleedover. I mean, the DD is clearly sunk. It's not on the map, and it's on the sunk ship list.

To make things worse, it sank needlessly, thanks to my rank incompetence.

Frag also tells me there is a code problem that will be fixed in a patch to keep this from occuring.

[BartM]

anyone ever hear of "friendly fire" ?

[PeteG662]

As an artilleryman myself, there is no "friendly" fire! It is all dangerous!
