Hello,

I�m playing FOST: Advanced ASW Exercise and I am enjoying a lot. But I have a quesiton about Ninrod ASW operation.
The problem is that the aircraft mission is set to ASW patrol and its status is "Engaged Offensive", however everything Ninrod does is to cycle the "goblin" signal without never drop torpedoes. It�s different what occurs with helicopters since they always launch torpedoes as soon as possible.
Is it a bug? Thank you.

Most likely the Nimrod is not abvle to identify the Sub type, so cant tell if it is hostile.
There is a rule of engagement you can set that will tell it to fire on unidentified contacts, but you will need to be careful that you don't cause friendly fire incidents - or you could just manually drop the torp.

Its probably the same as discussed here. Obtaining a usable savegame before something goes wrong is problematic

but seriously, I have a hard time getting ASW aircraft to drop properly under most circumstances. Part of the difficulty (in obtaining accurate enough position data and having the aircraft in the place before the info degrades) Im sure is intentional, but there does seem to be something off - as discussed in the attached thread.

I would think that if it happens repeatedly, a save would be pretty easy. Just turn on the autosave feature and note when it happens.
