Bug Report: Max launch speed restriction

Max launch speed restriction
    When a unit is travelling faster than the Maximum Allowable Launch Speed of the weapons it is carrying and tries to fire them, the weapon allocation table appears and the player is mistakenly given the choice of firing the weapon. The window no longer displays a warning message and restricts player from attempts to fire.

Hi

Have seen this also. While you assign weapons to target and finish, you see nothing is launched. As you say, you used to get an error message. If not paying close attention, you may miss that no weapons are actually fired. Could be several of the launch restriction that have this action.

A second major problem arising from this is the fact that the AI doesn't 'know' that it has to slow down to fire.

Under ANW, AI-controlled planes will intercept at maximum speed possible.  Therefore, planes armed with guns will try to run at full speed or afterburner.  They NEVER slow down to try and fire their guns.  [:(]

Don't think the gun thing arised from this one. Probably a separate issue. I'd log it separately so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.
