Band of Brothers

The bug seems to only get triggered by multi-option load planes: if you save and reload the game after a bombing, these planes 'forget' (most of the time) their previous bombing and bombs again with full load. These are the planes of CMBB bugged: LaG-G3 FB YAK-1 FB Me Bf 109F FB He Hs 129B-1 DB MIG 3 FB YAK-7B FB Me Bf 109G-6/R1 FB YAK-9B FB IL-2 TYPE 3 GA Me Bf 109G-10/R1 YAK-9T TB Me Bf 109G-14/R1 This bug is present in CMAK too. -------------------- FredKors - Band of Brothers (www.webandofbrothers.de)

I'm pessimistic about the fixing of this AIR-bug (CMBB and CMAK). As programmer I can say that this sort of bugs can be easily be found and fixed (an hour or work?). The problem is that every change in the code has to be tested extensively because there is ever the possibility to introduce collateral effects (see the 1.02 of CMAK). Then they have to produce the patchs for all versions of CMAK and CMBB, to distribuite them and so on. Maybe 2 days of works? What is the prize for? Personal satisfaction? Professional satisfaction? The satisfaction of the 0.05% of the CMAK and CMBB users (I and Le Tondu)? Say me: who of us will not buy CM2 because of this bug? In Italy we say: not even a dog shakes its tail gratis...

Yes, it is the same. I have posted the list of the planes of CMAK 'bugged'. Soon I'll post the list of the planes of CMBB.

LOL. So my WIFE is THE BUG! LOL CMBB too has this same AIR-BUG! LOL Thank you, mate!

Great job! Very great job! I made the same thing you made. My conclusions are the same: ALL RIGHT! NO BUG! BUT BUT BUT then I changed the plane: I used a Messerschmitt. I found the bug immediately! I think the bug is linked to the random weaponry of the Messerschmitt (1x550 lb OR 4x110). These are the files of the movies (without passwords) and the scenario. Thanks again! :cool: :cool: :cool:

Check FRAPS :cool:

There is anyone that could confirm this bug?

Bravo!

Tell me, in a PBEM game where you only make one turn at a time, how often did you have to save your game? </font>

Your knowledge is limited. There are others.

Uao, there is a light in the dark universe! With a lone Me109 (in CMBB) I was able to get 5 bombings (one for each strafe) in my tests! This seems to be caused only by saving/reloading (normal PBEM is not affected). But if your PBEM opponent saves/reloads the game... IMHO this bug makes completely unuseful Air Support... (overcast forever! )

There is no hope to have an official answer, right? It seems to me this is a relevant problem... :confused: :confused: :confused:

Hi! If you buy a plane armed with bombs, the behaviour you expect is: First attack - Bombing Attack 2 - Strafe with guns Attack 3 - Strafe with guns and so on... (the number of attacks depends on the type of the plane and other factors) If you play my Test Scenario 100 times, 100 times you will get the above behaviour (this is correct). NEVER you wil get TWO or MORE BOMBINGS!!! BUT everytime you break the sequence of air-attacks SAVING and RELOADING the game: First attack - Bombing SAVE THE GAME RELOAD THE GAME Attack 2 - BOMBING (with high probability (70%?)) Attack 3 - Strafe with guns and so on... ... the plane 'forgets' his previous bombing(s)! So with a lone plane you could have 2 or more bombings. First bombing Second bombing This bug is present in CMBB too and affect not only scenarios but also PBEM.

The same behaviour in CMAK! Test Scenario First Air Bombing Second Air Bombing... :confused:

N.B. I corrected the link for the test scenario...

Exact! In a game I'm playing I have lost a plt of infantry for 4 bombings of a lone plane...

Steps to reproduce the problem: 1- Play this scenario as Russian Test Scenario Russian: 1 plt infantry German: 1 plt infantry 1 Messerschmitt 2- Go! go! go! without give orders until the plane bombs 3- In the subsequent turns the plane strafes with cannons. All right! This is the correct behavior (IMHO). But: 1- Play the scenario as Russian 2- Go! go! go! without give orders until the plane bombs 3- SAVE the game 4- EXIT the scenario 5- RELOAD the saved scenario 6- In the following attack WITH VERY HIGH PROBABILITY the plane BOMBS AGAIN! 7- SAVE the game 8- EXIT the scenario 9- RELOAD the saved scenario 10- In the following attack WITH VERY HIGH PROBABILITY the plane BOMBS AGAIN! ... and so on This is a bug as I am a programmer (and I am a programmer)...
