Strike mission fails to execute

Enemy Unit appears not to be able to plot an intercept path.

This might be the Navigation Bug mentioned in various threads but, as yet, no definitive description appears to have been posted.

Run test file
Watch CG Kara fire all long-ranged missiles at target and then fail to engage with guns

Sample file has been attached for PDb.

What version are you using?

The version released June 14

What exactly is the Kara class ASW cruiser trying to do specifically?

The cruiser has been assigned a Ship Strike mission on the AGP Horten.

It will fire all of its missiles, but it will not close to engage with guns.

How do you think is this related to the navigation bug?

It appears unable to plot / find a path to the AGP Horten. If the player intervenes and plots a path to the Horten, the Kara follows it and then destroys the ship with gunner.

A second test scen has been made with a Sovremennyy unit. All the missiles have been unloaded. [Otherwise, it fires and destroys the Horten]. Still fails to close to engage with guns.

No. With the SSMs removed, the only available weapons are the guns.

I also tested with having a single Sunburn missile aboard. However, since the SSM often KILLED the Horten outright, it was difficult to see if the guns would engage.

On the rare occasion that the SSM missed, the DDG was unable to close to engagement range with its guns.

Ok Hermann, I think I may have an answer here.

Loaded the scene and ran it as you first reported. The Kara launched all missiles and then would not close to gun range. Checked the target AGI, and it was not radiating and not moving. I think the AI classified it as a probable kill at this point, so the Kara would not close by itself. Not sure why the game did not mark the AGI as probable kill in the unit window.

Manually plotted an intercept course for the Kara, and when it got within visual ID range, it indeed fired guns and completed the sinking of the AGI.

I will write this up and post on the bug list.

Thanks Hermann

We have tested this behaviour with our newest internal build (we are currently working on the first maintenance release patch) and it seems to work fine there.

Cheers,
