Explosins won't stop

[cabal23]

I am playing a PBEM game (Circle the Wagons) and one of my AAV's that has been destroyed cooks off ammo every turn. This has been happening for the past 20 + turns. This can't be right and has to be a bug. Anyone else seen this?

Can you send me a save game file to my email at the address in my sig please?

FWIW these AAVs contain a whole heap of ammo. If they thing ingites it can keep cooking off for ages - or catastrophically explode. In RL vehicles cooking off can do so for a long time.

Cheers fur noo

ps: the log entries below are from Vietnam but it details how two APCs were hit and set on fire. Over an hour latter the ammo cooking off from one of the APCs is thought to have hit and brought down an aircraft taking off.

Hi guys,

Just bumping this up, as I too have just experienced the never ending cook-offs

PBEM, 1.10

A BMP-2, knocked out early in the game gets hit by a rocket firing Cobra very late in the game, a huge explosion is the result. Secondary explosions are then heard....however, as I click done - to end my viewing stage, I get a huge flash in the screen for a split second ( the kind of screen white-out a massive explosion will now cause) before I plot my moves and send the file to my opponent.

In the following 8 or more turns till the game ends, the BMP cooks-off with a catrastophic explosion every turn...followed by 6-7 secondaries. This is a BMP-2...not a battleship

It appears that the explosions are 'looping' i.e every turn will start (and end) with a massive explosion. The secondaries, at least 6 in number will go off throughout the turn.

There is simply not that much ammo in the BMP . I have all the save files available.

Cheers

David

hello

I wonder if your bug is not link to the one I have noticed (see ammo amount increasing in PBEM topic)

You could check comparing two consecutive pbem files if the ammount of missiles of your BMP has not increased, this could explain the explosion you see ?

On my side I still see that even with 1.10, but not on every scenario (don't see that on scenar "break out" on cmmods, still see this problem on "al huqf enagement")
