I was toying around setting up a 1983 war scare global thermonuclear war scenario (hi professor Falken!

) and noticed that, after firing a couple of Minuteman III against Moscow's ABM radars, the MIRV constantly slowed after release reaching absurdly low speeds (300 knots or less!).

Since I hadn't similar issues with other ICBMs and SLBMs I guess it may depend on a database typo.

Have seen a similar bug with aircraft cannon. Chasing planes cannot hit their target, even at very close range. Visually you can see the little dash for the cannon fire crawling forward slowly, it disappears before it hits target.

Added a note to look at Minuteman MIRVs.

Thanks!

Hi Amatteucci, thank you for your report. Would be fantastic if you could post up the scenario, that would help us a lot. Thanks!

I already posted it here: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/fb.asp?m=3421423

BTW, speaking of nuclear weapons, I experienced a game crash after detonating a Mk. 24 thermonuclear bomb, twice. The game freezed a few seconds after the detonation of the 15Mt bomb. The first time I thought it was because the B-36H that dropped the bomb was destroyed by the blast wave while being selected, the second time the game freezed again after a few seconds from the detonation but, for sure, the bomber wasn't the culprit (it was destroyed by a SAM just after bomb release).
Consider also that I used nukes in the game a lot of times and they always went boom without problems. It's only over ten megatons that the problem arises!

And, no, I have no scenario because the game crashed before I could save (and I was stupid enough to do this twice!
