Patch for Harpoon ANW 3.9.0

Postby Herman Hum » Tue Mar 25, 2008 9:05 pm

After 9 months of totally non-functional scenarios, the Patch for Harpoon ANW 3.9.0 has finally been officially released.

Now, let's see if they actually fixed anything or just added 2 new bugs for every fix like they did for the 3.8.0 "Un-Patch" patch.

Patch for Harpoon ANW 3.9.0

Postby Herman Hum » Wed Mar 26, 2008 10:43 am

Summary:
After 3.7.0 release: 80 Issues reported
After 3.8.0 Patch: (80 Issues - 34 Fixed + 88 New) = 134 Issues
After 3.9.0 Patch: (134 Issues - 33 fixed + 68 New) = 169 Issues

A comprehensive third-party list of 134 * Known Harpoon [ANW] Issues has been exhaustively collected on GameSquad since the release of Harpoon ANW 3.7.0 Now that the 3.9.0 patch has been released, the list has been checked to see what has changed. While it is by no means definitive, it is believed that:

These 33 behaviours appear to have been resolved by the 3.9.0 patch:
  1. Jamming from dead ships

    Ships that are destroyed still show the Active Jamming "*" indicator.

  2. SAVE AS window error

    When SAVE or SAVE AS function is selected, other files with either *.SAV or *.SCN suffixes do not appear in the selection window.

  3. Replenishment at-sea

    Non-functional

  4. Binoculars jammed

    Ground units with only Binoculars for sensors are shown as jammed by ECM.

  5. UnRep broken

    Tanker and ship unable to meet for Underway Replenishment.
  6. AI subs will not re-charge batteries

    AI-controlled subs will not re-charge batteries when depleted as there is no one around to depress the 'R' hotkey for the AI.

  7. ViCond Set polygon not possible

    It is not possible to set up a Victory Condition polygon. Once the ViCond menu comes up, designer cannot click on the map to designate a polygon.
  8. AAA firing past Max Range

    Guns continue to fire long after targets pass out of range.
  9. Accuracy slider changes combat

    Accuracy slider changes combat calculation. Combat may or may not occur dependant upon the setting of the slider from Low/Fast Accuracy/Speed and High/Slow.
  10. EmCon does not match display

    EmCon status of units does not match the EmCon state shown in Unit display and there is no way to turn it off..
  11. F1 Key will not attack

    F1 Key will not attack second target.
  12. Min Firing Range prohibits weapon use

    Weapons (guns, ASW rockets, and others) with a Minimum Firing Range value > 0 will not fire.
  13. On Station ViCond does not trigger in MP

    On Station Victory Condition triggers erratically.

  14. Runways can be destroyed

    Runway facilities can now be destroyed.
  15. SE shows different results from GE

    ScenEdit shows different results from Game Engine test.
  16. Shallow depth shown at -20m

    Submarine at -20m is shown at Shallow depth and not Periscope depth.
  17. Strike Mission continues to dead target

    Strike Mission continues to target even after it is already destroyed.
  18. Tubes Cannot Change Loadout without repeated commands

    Torpedo tube loadouts cannot be changed after re-loading by AI.
  19. VLow altitude button missing

    VLow altitude button missing for helicopters when Speed/Altitude menu called up.
  20. Wrong altitude shown

    TLAM shows Periscope depth.
  21. Guns do not fire all ammo when ordered to do so

    Guns do not fire all ammo when ordered to do so
  22. ECM nullifies BOL weapons

    ECM nullifies weapons on Bearing-Only-Launch. All missiles are automatically drawn to the jammer regardless if it can hit the target or not due to the Home-on-Jam flag.
  23. Ferry mission crash

    If you set up a delayed Ferry mission and the receiving/landing facility (revetment/airfield) is destroyed (or deleted by the designer) before the mission is activated, the game will crash when the AI tries to launch the Ferry mission.

  24. Formation air patrols cancelled by Edit A/C function

    Formation air patrols cancelled by use Edit A/C function on the launching platform or hangar.
  25. Subs re-charge at Creep

    Subs are able to re-charge batteries without running throttles at Flank speed.
  26. Type 65-76 disappear on BOL

    Type 65-76 torpedoes disappear after reaching activation point even though they have copious fuel remaining.

  27. Unlimited ammo dumps

    Unlimited ammo expenditures allowed.
  28. Planes disappear from base

    Planes were added to a base and assigned to a mission. However, they disappear and access through the Mission editor is not possible.
  29. Mixed Unit and Group icon error

    Unit and Group icons show up at the same time when platforms deleted in SE.

  30. Sub changes depth and goes active

    A sub on Plotted mission at max depth detects a ship, changes to periscope depth, and goes active on its own.

  31. ANW battleset - File not found

    Scenarios not found when trying to load ANW battleset.
  32. UGM-109 cannot be launched

    All UGM-109 Tomahawk TLAM in OriginalDB cannot be launched since none of the weapons has an engine / propulsion unit.

  33. Unknown Sub contacts not attacked

    Unknown submarine contacts no longer attacked unless positively identified as hostile.


These 101 behaviours do not appear to have been resolved by the 3.9.0 patch:

  1. AAA fire

    AAA guns are not limited by the altitude of the target and can even shoot down satellites.
  2. Automatic contact classification

    The true type classification of a contact is automatically revealed when it is designated hostile by the hotkey.
  3. Group Nav Zone Settings

    The Nav Zone settings for a Group are not adopted by the individual units forming that Group. i.e. If you order a TF to avoid Ship Threat Zone [A], the Group icon will avoid the Threat Zone but the individual ships of the Group will sail into the Threat Zone.

    Work-around solution: Set the Nav Zone parameters for each unit individually.
  4. Identification failure

    Sometimes, when you hit the Database button for a unit, only one possible identity is shown but the unit display will still describe it as Unknown.
  5. Subs in groups

    Subs joined with groups are automatically assigned a formation patrol zone on the ASW axis that cannot be changed or modified.
  6. Hangar overload

    It is possible to land many more aircraft than the hangar capacity allows.
  7. AI inside Minimum Launch Range

    If an AI unit finds itself inside the Minimum Launch Range of its weapons, it is unable to move away in order to fire its weapons.
  8. MAD contact for ground facilities

    The MAD detector is able to detect ground facilities.
  9. Sonobuoy battery endurance

    Battery endurance for sonobuoys is irrelevant.
  10. ARMs cause planes to hang

    Aircraft armed with Anti-Radiation Missiles and bombs will continue to hang over a target once the bombs are released if they have not fired their ARMs. This will occur even if ARMs cannot be fired at the target in question.
  11. Opening 3.6.3 scen causes crash

    Opening this scenario in ANW causes Crash. Scenario opens and runs fine in H3.6.3
  12. Ready times go wild when AI Formation Air Patrols activated

    Ready times go wild when AI Formation Air Patrols activated. This does not appear when the AI option is not enabled.
  13. All ammo not available

  14. Plane ignores Nav Zone

    Plane totally ignores Nav Zone
  15. Mission ignores target list

    Targets not restricted to target list for mission.
  16. Fly off the world CTD

    It is possible to 'fly off of the world' and cause CTD.
  17. Weapon ignores range limitation

    Weapon sometimes ignores range limitation and fires on targets outside of the range set by the Database. This can sometimes result in guns hitting targets 100s of miles away. Often, it occurs when the target is vaguely detected.
  18. Hidden units can be destroyed without detection

    When hidden units are part of a group, attacks on the Group Icon can destroy the hidden units without the need to ever detect them.
  19. Units out of range can be destroyed

    Units out of range can be destroyed if they are part of a group.
  20. Nukes won't work without AALog activated

    Nuclear weapons for BCGN Kirov do not work unless AALog is activated.
  21. Sonobuoy deployment altitude

    Sonobuoys can be deployed at any altitude.
  22. Sonobuoy dataurl cannot be turned off

    Although the manual says that sonobuoys can be dropped / discarded by turning off the Comm Dataurl to them, this is not true under any realism setting.
  23. Torpedoes ignore cruise depth

    Torpedoes ignore cruise depth set by the database even when the "Level Cruise Flight" flag has been set and a value has been entered in the "Cruise Altitude" field. They stay at the depth at which they were fired.
  24. Ground units attacked by Ship Strike mission

    Units assigned to Ship Strike missions will attack ground facilities.
  25. Ships attacked by Ground Strike mission

    Units assigned to Ground Strike missions will attack ships.
  26. Active sonobuoys dropped passively

    Sonobuoys with active-only sonar systems are dropped in passive mode even when the "Drop Active Sonobuoy" hotkey is depressed.
  27. Active sonobuoys do not deploy

    CASS Active Sonar Sonobuoys carried by S-2 Trackers do not deploy when the "Drop Active Sonobuoy (])" hotkey is depressed. However, they do deploy with "Drop Passive Sonobuoy ([)". "," and "." hotkeys seem to work properly.
  28. 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.
  29. Hellfire do not launch in ODb

    Hellfire missiles will not launch even though they appear in the weapons allocation window.
  30. CTD when Database button is depressed

    When playing Multi-player games, scenarios will sometimes crash to the desktop when the Database button has been depressed.

    Aircraft without a "Full speed" throttle setting in the database are fully functional under manual control, but are unable to calculate a path to their targets under AI control.
  32. Planes directly inserted ignore target list

    Planes directly inserted ignore targets listed in strike missions. However, planes that launch on those same strike missions will obey the target strike list and not attack any target not on the list.
  33. All strikers fail to launch

    All aircraft assigned to a strike mission fail to launch.
  34. Player loses control

    Player loses control of all units in the middle of a game.
  35. Protect ViCond doesn't evaluate properly

    Protect ship Victory Condition does not evaluate properly.
  36. Game ends abruptly

    When playing Multi-player games, scenarios will end at incorrect times. One side gets a message that it has not fulfilled the ViConds and has lost. He is then kicked from the game even though there is plenty of time remaining. This occurs more often during "high" time compression rate (1:60+).
  37. Altitude mis-match between Group and units

    Units and Group icons show different altitude values in SE.
  38. ASW/WH torps tracking wrong targets

    Map scale is erroneous.
  51. Max altitude for planes is 32,767m

    The Max altitude for planes is now 32,767m. Previously, it was unlimited and could simulate satellite platforms.

  53. SSK rises early

    Diesel subs rise to Periscope depth long before their batteries are exhausted.
  54. Unassign command sound missing

    Use of the Unassign Hotkey command on groups will elicit an audible "ping". However, this audible cue is missing when the same command is issued to individual units.

  74. Ready display always visible

    Aircraft ready display shows all planes available at a base regardless of the Base's ability to launch them. Previously, when a base was damaged, those aircraft not able to launch (i.e. Large/VLarge planes) no longer showed up in the Ready menu until the runway was repaired.
  75. Ready Times shortened

    Aircraft with long ready times can have them shortened to the default 30 minutes.
  76. Re-build All causes planes to loiter

    Planes that normally flew at cruise speed go to loiter when Re-Built All command is used.
  77. Sanity check fails for multiple weapons records

  78. Sanity check fails for propulsion alt bands

    Sanity check reports an error if altitude bands for propulsion entries are not in sequential order.
  79. Sanity check fails for propulsion max alt

    Sanity check fails to report an error if the max altitude for the propulsion system is greater than the allowable altitude for aircraft. Maximum altitude for aircraft is 32,767m but maximum engine operational altitude value can be set higher.

    Scenario freezes 15 seconds after start of game.
  82. Sensor default values are zero

    When Sensor menu [F9] is activated for individual units or groups, all default values are Zero. Previously, the default values were 1 min Active followed by 5 minutes Passive for all types of sensors.

    Torpedoes chase the improper targets once they reach their activation point even though all potential targets are identical.
  93. Unarmed units not engaged

    Unarmed units will not be engaged by AI units (sub or ship) on Plotted mission. This is due to the fact that the targets pose no 'threat' to the AI unit thus elicits no response. Once weapons are added to the targets, they are immediately attacked.
  94. Unassigned SSMs do not fire

    Unassigned land-based SSMs will fire on ships, but not against land targets.
  95. Tubes re-load different weapons

* Known Harpoon [ANW] Issues

Postby Herman Hum » Tue Jun 10, 2008 1:39 pm

Summary:
After 3.7.0 release: 80 Issues reported
After 3.8.0 Patch: (80 Issues - 34 Fixed + 88 New) = 134 Issues
After 3.9.0 Patch: (134 Issues - 31 fixed + 68 New) = 171 Issues
After 3.9.2 Patch: (171 Issues - 15 fixed + 35 New) = 191 Issues
After 3.9.3 Patch: (191 Issues - 17 fixed + 10 New) = 184 Issues

A comprehensive third-party list of 191 * Known Harpoon [ANW] Issues has been exhaustively collected on HarPlonkHQ since the release of Harpoon ANW 3.7.0 Now that the 3.9.3 patch has been released, the list has been checked to see what has changed. While it is by no means definitive, it is believed that:

These 17 behaviours appear to have been resolved by the 3.9.3 patch:

  1. Nukes won't work without AALog activated

    Nuclear weapons for BCGN Kirov do not work unless AALog is activated.
  2. CTD ViCond crash when windows closed out of order

    When setting ViCond, the ScenEditor can crash when windows are closed out of sequence from which they were opened.
  3. Haphazard weapons re-loading

    Weapons do not reload with weapon previously fired.
  4. Inconsistent RoF

    Guns have different rates of fire between H3.6.3. and ANW.
  5. Scen locks up at 15 secs into game

    Scenario freezes 15 seconds after start of game.
  6. Re-build All causes planes to loiter

    Planes that normally flew at cruise speed go to loiter when Re-Built All command is used.
  7. Tubes re-load different weapons

    After firing, torpedo tubes re-load with different weapons than those just fired even when replacement weapons are available.
  8. Range rings appears when none should

    Radar range rings displayed for air group when radar is passive.
  9. Range rings missing

    Range rings missing for air groups.
  10. Crash after nuclear detonation

    Crash after nuclear warhead detonates.
  11. Crash on re-load

    Crash while attempting to re-load same scenario file previously opened.
  12. CTD during UnRep

    CTD occurs while selecting ordnance to be transferred with "Enter Number of Weapons" command.
  13. Destroyed submarines not always evaluated in ViConds

    Destroyed submarines do not always evaluate properly in ViConds.
  14. Runways cannot be destroyed by nukes

    Runways can be reduced, but not be destroyed by nuclear weapons.
  15. CTD on Ferry mission failure

    CTD when Ferry mission tries to launch to a facility already destroyed
  16. Fly off the world CTD II

    It is possible to 'fly off of the world' and cause CTD.
  17. Bomb will not release II

    Bomb will not release in 3.9.2 even though weapon is capable vs. runways, but releases just fine in 3.8.0

These 174 behaviours do not appear to have been resolved by the 3.9.3 patch:

  1. AAA fire

    AAA guns are not limited by the altitude of the target and can even shoot down satellites.
  2. Automatic contact classification

    The true type classification of a contact is automatically revealed when it is designated hostile by the hotkey.
  3. Group Nav Zone Settings

    The Nav Zone settings for a Group are not adopted by the individual units forming that Group. i.e. If you order a TF to avoid Ship Threat Zone [A], the Group icon will avoid the Threat Zone but the individual ships of the Group will sail into the Threat Zone.

    Work-around solution: Set the Nav Zone parameters for each unit individually.
  4. Subs in groups

    Subs joined with groups are automatically assigned a formation patrol zone on the ASW axis that cannot be changed or modified.
  5. Hangar overload
    It is possible to land many more aircraft than the hangar capacity allows.
  6. AI inside Minimum Launch Range

    If an AI unit finds itself inside the Minimum Launch Range of its weapons, it is unable to move away in order to fire its weapons.
  7. MAD contact for ground facilities

    The MAD detector is able to detect ground facilities.
  8. ARMs cause planes to hang

    Aircraft armed with Anti-Radiation Missiles and bombs will continue to hang over a target once the bombs are released if they have not fired their ARMs. This will occur even if ARMs cannot be fired at the target in question.
  9. Opening 3.6.3 scen causes crash

    Opening this scenario in ANW causes Crash. Scenario opens and runs fine in H3.6.3
  10. Ready times go wild when AI Formation Air Patrols activated

    Ready times go wild when AI Formation Air Patrols activated. This does not appear when the AI option is not enabled.
  11. All ammo not available

    300 rounds of ammo are shown, but only 44 are offered for fire allocation.
  12. Plane ignores Nav Zone

    Plane totally ignores Nav Zone
  13. Mission ignores target list

    Targets not restricted to target list for mission.
  14. Weapon ignores range limitation

    Weapon sometimes ignores range limitation and fires on targets outside of the range set by the Database. This can sometimes result in guns hitting targets 100s of miles away. Often, it occurs when the target is vaguely detected.
  15. Hidden units can be destroyed without detection

    When hidden units are part of a group, attacks on the Group Icon can destroy the hidden units without the need to ever detect them.
  16. Units out of range can be destroyed

    Units out of range can be destroyed if they are part of a group.
  17. Sonobuoy deployment altitude

    Sonobuoys can be deployed at any altitude.
  18. Sonobuoy datalink cannot be turned off

    Although the manual says that sonobuoys can be dropped / discarded by turning off the Comm Datalink to them, this is not true under any realism setting.
  19. Torpedoes ignore cruise depth

    Torpedoes ignore cruise depth set by the database even when the "Level Cruise Flight" flag has been set and a value has been entered in the "Cruise Altitude" field. They stay at the depth at which they were fired.
  20. Ground units attacked by Ship Strike mission

    Units assigned to Ship Strike missions will attack ground facilities.
  21. Ships attacked by Ground Strike mission

    Units assigned to Ground Strike missions will attack ships.
  22. Active sonobuoys dropped passively

    Sonobuoys with active-only sonar systems are dropped in passive mode even when the "Drop Active Sonobuoy" hotkey is depressed.
  23. Active sonobuoys do not deploy

    CASS Active Sonar Sonobuoys carried by S-2 Trackers do not deploy when the "Drop Active Sonobuoy (])" hotkey is depressed. However, they do deploy with "Drop Passive Sonobuoy ([)". "," and "." hotkeys seem to work properly.
  24. 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.
  25. Hellfire do not launch in ODb

    Hellfire missiles will not launch even though they appear in the weapons allocation window.
  26. CTD when Database button is depressed

    When playing Multi-player games, scenarios will sometimes crash to the desktop when the Database button has been depressed.

    [Edit] With the Patch 3.9.0 release, this issue no longer results in CTD. However, it is still erroneous.
  27. Mission fails to navigate without Full throttle setting

    Aircraft without a "Full speed" throttle setting in the database are fully functional under manual control, but are unable to calculate a path to their targets under AI control.
  28. Planes directly inserted ignore target list

    Planes directly inserted ignore targets listed in strike missions. However, planes that launch on those same strike missions will obey the target strike list and not attack any target not on the list.
  29. All strikers fail to launch

    All aircraft assigned to a strike mission fail to launch.
  30. Player loses control

    Player loses control of all units in the middle of a game.
  31. Protect ViCond doesn't evaluate properly

    Protect ship Victory Condition does not evaluate properly.
  32. Game ends abruptly

    When playing Multi-player games, scenarios will end at incorrect times. One side gets a message that it has not fulfilled the ViConds and has lost. He is then kicked from the game even though there is plenty of time remaining. This occurs more often during "high" time compression rate (1:60+).
  33. Altitude mis-match between Group and units

    Units and Group icons show different altitude values in SE.
  34. ASW/WH torps tracking wrong targets

    WH/ASW torps tracking targets they cannot hit.
  35. Ferry mission fails to launch

    Ferry mission fails to launch unless manually ordered to do so.
  36. Min engine altitude ignored

    Min engine altitude ignored for Trident SLBM. Missile can be launched from a depth deeper that allowed by the engine parameters.

  39. Time compression causes miss

    Higher time compression creates automatic miss.
  40. Weapon Max Launch Speed ignored

    Weapons ignore Maximum Launch Speed set in database.

  44. Ammo dumps emptied

    Ammo dumps in all ODb scenarios have been emptied of weapons for aircraft.
  45. Ground targets re-engaged prematurely

    Targets are being re-engaged prematurely. Missiles are still in flight when successive attacks are launched thus wasting weapons.
  46. Map Scale inaccurate

    Map scale is erroneous.
  47. Max altitude for planes is 32,767m

    The Max altitude for planes is now 32,767m. Previously, it was unlimited and could simulate satellite platforms.

  49. SSK rises early

    Diesel subs rise to Periscope depth long before their batteries are exhausted.
  50. Unassign command sound missing

    Use of the Unassign Hotkey command on groups will elicit an audible "ping". However, this audible cue is missing when the same command is issued to individual units.
  51. AAW patrol motionless

    AAW patrol motionless instead of flying between assigned reference points.
  52. Accuracy slider changes combat II
    Accuracy slider changes combat calculation. Air strike resolves differently when slider set on Low/Fast or High/Slow Accuracy setting.
  53. Air Group formation

    Air Groups do not form properly when the launching platform is destroyed before the group is fully launched.
  54. CTD with Re-build Scenario function

    Planes are unable to plot path around Nav Zone.
  65. Propulsion ranges import improperly

    Propulsion ranges do not import to the Reimer Editor properly. Ranges with a speed of Zero will not import even when those ranges are required for proper platform behaviour in units such as mines and false contacts.
  66. Ready display always visible

    Aircraft ready display shows all planes available at a base regardless of the Base's ability to launch them. Previously, when a base was damaged, those aircraft not able to launch (i.e. Large/VLarge planes) no longer showed up in the Ready menu until the runway was repaired.
  67. Ready Times shortened

    Aircraft with long ready times can have them shortened to the default 30 minutes.
  68. Sanity check fails for multiple weapons records

  69. Sanity check fails for propulsion alt bands

    Sanity check reports an error if altitude bands for propulsion entries are not in sequential order.
  70. Sanity check fails for propulsion max alt

    Sanity check fails to report an error if the max altitude for the propulsion system is greater than the allowable altitude for aircraft. Maximum altitude for aircraft is 32,767m but maximum engine operational altitude value can be set higher.
  71. Sanity check fails for Ready Times

    Sanity check fails to account for different Ready Times in loadout table. Loadouts that have identical weapons with only differ in Ready Times are identified as 'duplicate' entries by the Sanity Check.
  72. Sensor default values are zero

    When Sensor menu [F9] is activated for individual units or groups, all default values are Zero. Previously, the default values were 1 min Active followed by 5 minutes Passive for all types of sensors. Proper default values of 1min/5min appear if a group of separate units are "drag-selected" and then the F9 hotkey is depressed.
  73. Sonar detects facility

    Land facility detected by sonar.
  74. SSMs ignore delayed strike mission

    Torpedoes chase the improper targets once they reach their activation point even though all potential targets are identical.
  83. Unarmed units not engaged

    Unarmed units will not be engaged by AI units (sub or ship) on Plotted mission. This is due to the fact that the targets pose no 'threat' to the AI unit thus elicits no response. Once weapons are added to the targets, they are immediately attacked.
  84. Unassigned SSMs do not fire

    Unassigned land-based SSMs will fire on ships, but not against land targets.
  85. Unable to set Weapons Tight in SE

Patch for Harpoon ANW 3.9.X

Postby Herman Hum » Wed Mar 11, 2009 6:10 am

After 3.7.0 release: 80 Issues reported
After 3.8.0 Patch: (080 Issues - 34 Fixed + 88 New) = 134 Issues
After 3.9.0 Patch: (134 Issues - 31 Fixed + 68 New) = 171 Issues
After 3.9.2 Patch: (171 Issues - 15 Fixed + 35 New) = 191 Issues
After 3.9.3 Patch: (191 Issues - 19 Fixed + 15 New) = 187 Issues
After 3.9.4 Patch: (187 Issues - 42 Fixed + 69 New) = 214 Issues

A comprehensive third-party list of 214 * Known Harpoon [ANW] Issues has been exhaustively collected on HarPlonkHQ since the release of Harpoon ANW 3.7.0 Now that the 3.9.4 patch has been released, the list has been checked to see what has changed. While it is by no means definitive, it is believed that:

These 42 behaviours appear to have been resolved by the 3.9.4 patch:

  1. Cannot meet for UnRep

      Ships are unable to plot a path for UnRep when ordered to do so.
  2. Cannot rescind re-fuel order

      It is not possible to rescind air-to-air re-fueling order once it is issued.
  3. CTD on re-load

      CTD while attempting to re-load same scenario file previously opened.
  4. Delayed On-Station ViCond Faulty

      Delayed On-Station ViCond does not wait for delay time to expire before evaluating.
  5. F6 Key will not attack

      F6 Key will not attack target.
  6. Ferry Mission fails to launch

      Ferry Mission that executed properly in 3.9.0 fails to launch in 3.9.3
  7. HAWKs fire into ground

      HAWKs fire directly into the ground
  8. Helo Intercepts sub at Med Alt

      Helo Intercepts sub at Med Alt when F6 command given.
  9. Incorrect re-load count

      Planes have high number of re-loads assigned, but there are insufficient AAMs to justify this number.(Originally reported by Bart Gauvin)
  10. Multiple Edit windows opened

      Multiple Edit windows can be opened but they can't be closed.
  11. Nav Zones re-set by mission editor

      Nav Zones are re-set by mission editor every time a mission is edited.
  12. On-Station ViCond non-functional

      On-Station ViCond non-functional in GE but functional in SE.
  13. Planes cannot re-load

      Planes show zero re-loads available when AirOps [F6] button depressed. However, re-loads are available when AirOps is selected for individual hangars and runway.
  14. Planes refuse to launch

      Planes requiring Small/Med runway refuse to launch from a base equipped with Medium runways. (From Petterr)
  15. Ready display always visible

      Aircraft ready display shows all planes available at a base regardless of the Base's ability to launch them. Previously, when a base was damaged, those aircraft not able to launch (i.e. Large/VLarge planes) no longer showed up in the Ready menu until the runway was repaired.
  16. Sonobuoy mission cancels

      Sonobuoy mission cancels on its own due to inability to deploy active sonobuoy and causes all other helo sonobuoy formation patrols to revert to Minimal loadout. (Originally reported by Vincenzo Beretta)
  17. SSMs ignore delayed strike mission

      Land-based SSMs ignore delay time for Strike missions.
  18. Sub goes active on ASuW

      Sub goes active on ASuW area patrol mission even though mission setting is for EmCon.

  21. Unarmed units not engaged

      Unarmed units will not be engaged by AI units (sub or ship) on Plotted mission. This is due to the fact that the targets pose no 'threat' to the AI unit thus elicits no response. Once weapons are added to the targets, they are immediately attacked.
  22. ViCond triggers in SP but not MP

      Damage ViCond triggers in SP but not MP.
  23. Sub stops when surfacing

      Sub rises to surface and stops. (Originally reported by Freek Schepers)
  24. Full speed over 140kts

      Ship group shows full speed of 15+131kts.
  25. Submarine control lost

      Submarine control lost when sole ship is sunk.
  26. Group speed differs from plane speed

      Air groups have different speed from individual plane speed in MP.
  27. Wrong loadout descriptions

      Helix helos are show the wrong loadout descriptions. Display is Mk44 torp, but they revert to Minimal when launched.
  28. Torpedo dives past max depth

      Target at -1200m cannot be engaged directly, but torpedoes fired on BOL will still dive below the maximum depth of their propulsion system (-500m) to kill target
  29. Torpedo dives 1000M instantly

      Torpedoes will instantly dive 1200m to hit target
  30. CTD when altitude changed

      CTD when altitude changed
  31. Torpedoes ignore cruise depth

      Torpedoes ignore cruise depth set by the database even when the "Level Cruise Flight" flag has been set and a value has been entered in the "Cruise Altitude" field. They stay at the depth at which they were fired.
  32. Active sonobuoys do not deploy

    CASS Active Sonar Sonobuoys carried by S-2 Trackers do not deploy when the "Drop Active Sonobuoy (])" hotkey is depressed. However, they do deploy with "Drop Passive Sonobuoy ([)". "," and "." hotkeys seem to work properly.
  33. Ferry mission fails to launch

      Ferry mission fails to launch unless manually ordered to do so.
  34. Passive sonobuoys will not deploy

    Passive sonobuoys will not deploy with "[" hotkey. Active sonobuoys will deploy.
  35. AI subs will not stop re-charging

      Sub never stops re-charging.
  36. CTD running new scen in SE

      CTD occurs when new scenarios are written and immediately run in SE.
  37. Unable to Pause game in MP

      Unable to Pause game in MP. Game starts immediately and cannot stop. Also causes problems with ghost sessions on some servers.
  38. MP Unpause malfunction

      After pause button has been depressed in MP, the game does not respond when user hits F12 to continue unless player uses [+] [-] keys to change the compression selection, first.
  39. False Weapons Free status

      Tutorial 6 starts with Weapons Free status already enabled, but aircraft do not recognize it. [Originally reported by Eugene Smith]
  40. Unable to delete aircraft

      Only some aircraft can be deleted from a base
  41. Indestructible units in new scen

      Unit from the other side cannot be destroyed in newly created scen
  42. Player loses control

      Player loses control of all units in the middle of a game.

These 145 behaviours do not appear to have been resolved by the 3.9.4 patch:

  1. AAA fire

      AAA guns are not limited by the altitude of the target and can even shoot down satellites.
  2. Automatic contact classification

      The true type classification of a contact is automatically revealed when it is designated hostile by the hotkey.

  3. Group Nav Zone Settings

      The Nav Zone settings for a Group are not adopted by the individual units forming that Group. i.e. If you order a TF to avoid Ship Threat Zone [A], the Group icon will avoid the Threat Zone but the individual ships of the Group will sail into the Threat Zone.

      Work-around solution: Set the Nav Zone parameters for each unit individually.

  4. Subs in groups

      Subs joined with groups are automatically assigned a formation patrol zone on the ASW axis that cannot be changed or modified.
  5. Hangar overload

      It is possible to land many more aircraft than the hangar capacity allows.
  6. AI inside Minimum Launch Range

      If an AI unit finds itself inside the Minimum Launch Range of its weapons, it is unable to move away in order to fire its weapons.
  7. MAD contact for ground facilities

      The MAD detector is able to detect ground facilities.
  8. ARMs cause planes to hang

      Aircraft armed with Anti-Radiation Missiles and bombs will continue to hang over a target once the bombs are released if they have not fired their ARMs. This will occur even if ARMs cannot be fired at the target in question.
  9. Opening 3.6.3 scen causes crash

      Opening this scenario in ANW causes Crash. Scenario opens and runs fine in H3.6.3
  10. Ready times go wild when AI Formation Air Patrols activated

      Ready times go wild when AI Formation Air Patrols activated. This does not appear when the AI option is not enabled.
  11. All ammo not available

      300 rounds of ammo are shown, but only 44 are offered for fire allocation.
  12. Plane ignores Nav Zone

      Plane totally ignores Nav Zone
  13. Mission ignores target list

      Targets not restricted to target list for mission.
  14. Weapon ignores range limitation

      Weapon sometimes ignores range limitation and fires on targets outside of the range set by the Database. This can sometimes result in guns hitting targets 100s of miles away. Often, it occurs when the target is vaguely detected.
  15. Hidden units can be destroyed without detection

      When hidden units are part of a group, attacks on the Group Icon can destroy the hidden units without the need to ever detect them.
  16. Units out of range can be destroyed

      Units out of range can be destroyed if they are part of a group.
  17. Sonobuoy deployment altitude

      Sonobuoys can be deployed at any altitude.
  18. Ground units attacked by Ship Strike mission

      Units assigned to Ship Strike missions will attack ground facilities.
  19. Ships attacked by Ground Strike mission

      Units assigned to Ground Strike missions will attack ships.
  20. Active sonobuoys dropped passively

      Sonobuoys with active-only sonar systems are dropped in passive mode even when the "Drop Active Sonobuoy" hotkey is depressed.
  21. 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.
  22. Hellfire do not launch in ODb

      Hellfire missiles will not launch even though they appear in the weapons allocation window.
  23. CTD when Database button is depressed

      When playing Multi-player games, scenarios will sometimes crash to the desktop when the Database button has been depressed.

      [Edit] With the Patch 3.9.0 release, this issue no longer results in CTD. However, it is still erroneous.
  24. Mission fails to navigate without Full throttle setting

      Aircraft without a "Full speed" throttle setting in the database are fully functional under manual control, but are unable to calculate a path to their targets under AI control.
  25. Planes directly inserted ignore target list

      Planes directly inserted ignore targets listed in strike missions. However, planes that launch on those same strike missions will obey the target strike list and not attack any target not on the list.
  26. All strikers fail to launch

      All aircraft assigned to a strike mission fail to launch.
  27. Protect ViCond doesn't evaluate properly

      Protect ship Victory Condition does not evaluate properly.
  28. Game ends abruptly

      When playing Multi-player games, scenarios will end at incorrect times. One side gets a message that it has not fulfilled the ViConds and has lost. He is then kicked from the game even though there is plenty of time remaining. This occurs more often during "high" time compression rate (1:60+).
  29. Altitude mis-match between Group and units

      Units and Group icons show different altitude values in SE.
  30. ASW/WH torps tracking wrong targets

      WH/ASW torps tracking targets they cannot hit.
  31. Min engine altitude ignored

      Min engine altitude ignored for Trident SLBM. Missile can be launched from a depth deeper that allowed by the engine parameters.
  32. SSM Altitude crash

      Land-based SSMs appear to crash into the surface after launch and ignore their cruise altitude.
  33. TALD materialize at wrong point

      When firing lots of missiles i.e. TALD, the missiles all originate from the same point even when the plane moves away.
  34. Time compression causes miss

      Higher time compression creates automatic miss.
  35. Weapon Max Launch Speed ignored

      Weapons ignore Maximum Launch Speed set in database.
  36. Phantom air group

      Phantom air group.
  37. Re-Charge at Int depth

  38. Ammo dumps emptied

      Ammo dumps in all ODb scenarios have been emptied of weapons for aircraft.
  39. Ground targets re-engaged prematurely

      Targets are being re-engaged prematurely. Missiles are still in flight when successive attacks are launched thus wasting weapons.
  40. Map Scale inaccurate

      Map scale is erroneous.
  41. Max altitude for planes is 32,767m

      The Max altitude for planes is now 32,767m. Previously, it was unlimited and could simulate satellite platforms.
  42. MP Saved game titles

      MP Saved game titles often use portions of the orders in lieu of the Session name.
  43. SSK rises early

      Diesel subs rise to Periscope depth long before their batteries are exhausted.
  44. Unassign command sound missing

      Use of the Unassign Hotkey command on groups will elicit an audible "ping". However, this audible cue is missing when the same command is issued to individual units.
  45. AAW patrol motionless

      AAW patrol motionless instead of flying between assigned reference points.
  46. Accuracy slider changes combat II

      Accuracy slider changes combat calculation. Air strike resolves differently when slider set on Low/Fast or High/Slow Accuracy setting.

  52. Generic strikes seek additional targets

      Generic strikes seek additional targets after initial target is destroyed even if secondary targets have no relation to original target.
  53. Indexation status false

      ANW Launcher claim that "most community-databases do not support" indexation by Time and Country is false.
  54. Missiles drawn to wrong targets

  55. Phantom mounts shown on aircraft

      Phantom mounts are shown on aircraft when the Logistics button is pushed.
  56. Planes jammed against Nav Zone

      Planes are unable to plot path around Nav Zone.
  57. Propulsion ranges import improperly

  58. Ready Times shortened

      Aircraft with long ready times can have them shortened to the default 30 minutes.
  59. Sanity check fails for multiple weapons records

  61. Sanity check fails for propulsion max alt

      Sanity check fails to report an error if the max altitude for the propulsion system is greater than the allowable altitude for aircraft. Maximum altitude for aircraft is 32,767m but maximum engine operational altitude value can be set higher.
  62. Sanity check fails for Ready Times

      Sanity check fails to account for different Ready Times in loadout table. Loadouts that have identical weapons with only differ in Ready Times are identified as 'duplicate' entries by the Sanity Check.
  63. Sensor default values are zero

      When Sensor menu [F9] is activated for individual units or groups, all default values are Zero. Previously, the default values were 1 min Active followed by 5 minutes Passive for all types of sensors.
