Helicopters instantly turning around without rearming

[Quixotic1917]

Apologies if this is a misclicked game option (and I have a sinking feeling that it is) but the Hind's stationed on the Moskva will instantly turn around and be ready to launch without actually rearming, and they wont have their spirals or rockets.

To replicate:
Launch a hind from the Moskva in the northwestern task group, it will not be properly armed.

Thank you

Moskva magazines are empty for the Hinds loadout.

Where did you get this scenario?

[Quixotic1917]

I made it, and unlimited magazines are set to on so shouldn’t that not be an issue? And even it it weren’t, wouldn’t the WAD behavior be to set them to the reserve loadout?

[Nikel]

Unlimited magazines at air/naval bases, from the manual:

Unlimited magazines at air/naval bases: When activated, aircraft and ships now have unlimited ordnance at
any port or airfield they deploy in. With this enabled, even if the magazine has one or zero specific missiles, a
squadron of ten aircraft can all be deployed with a loadout of said missiles.

Is it one of the scenarios for Harpoon 3, Battles of the Third World War, published in 1987?

Another Bear hug scenario by TheOriginalOverlord, in 1985. This scenario was not included in the CSP. DB 417 is needed.

The magazines of the Moskva in this scenario.

Yes it is from that, I found my grandpa’s paper copy of it and thought it would be interesting to recreate.

I’m still not sure that this is working properly. With unlimited magazines on shouldn’t they still replenish weapons even if they aren’t in the magazine? My understanding is the magazine is effectively ignored of it’s ticked on. They arent even rearming on the gun or countermeasures which aren’t covered by the magazine at all. They also say that they are rearmed in the aircraft menu and you can only tell they aren’t by examining them after launch.
