Northstar Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I hate to toss around the B-word, but I stumbled across a couple problems in the last week. I've been playing the Leyte Gulf campaign (and barely hanging on, thank you very much Ray ). On two separate occasions, I managed to shoot down a pair of unescorted Dauntlesses. After the second one went down, the game ended as it should, but then the bomber reappeared and I got the animation of a (damaged) bomber dropping its bomb. In both cases I got the correct point value from the mission, but I don't know if that is because it's a graphic only problem, or because the damaged Dauntless didn't have enough bomb points to damage the target. In both cases I THINK I happened to actually kill the last bomber pilot -- that may have something to do with it. Last night, a more interesting problem occured. In attack against two flights of unescorted Betties, one of the intercepting Wildcat AI's sort of locked. On turn 3 or 4, with a full hand of six cards, it selected one of my bombers for an attack, but then played no cards (I assume because it had no attack cards) and then proceeded to the discard phase. However, it did not discard or draw any cards, and when it's turn came around it did exactly the same thing: selected a bomber for attack, played no cards, made no discards or draws. Basically, for the last three or four turns, it held onto the same apparantly useless six cards. I don't know if the AI takes its target into account when making its decisions, but it seems that during the discard/draw phases the AI thought it had a decent hand (maybe against fighters?) but then had nothing to actually play against the bombers.

Guest Mike Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 The first is something that's been around for a while & doesnt' seem to actually do anything to the game. I dont' recall whether it's linked to kiling the pilot or not. The 2nd I also encountered yesterday but on the "secret" server - the one we use for playtesting - some allied fighters jsut sat at he same altitude a the bombers & did sweet fA for a couple of turns.
