"Ignore plotted course" not working - 9/23/2017 3:54:43 PM

Status: offline 		Hi Forum,
Playing the first scenario in Northern Inferno. I have Helos and P3's on ASW patrol prosecuting subs. Whenever they become "Engaged Offensive" they ignore any course I may plot for them, even though the "Ignore Plotted Course" setting for the unit (or all units for that matter) is set to "no". Only way to get it to fly the course I want is to unassign from the mission.
Please help.
Lt. Edwards, Hill 152.

Status: offline 		I think (someone will correct me if not) that "Ignore Plotted Course" only applies to manually plotted courses for units that are not assigned to a mission. If the unit has an assigned mission that requires changing course, such as to reach and prosecute a detected sub, the mission requirements will take precedence automatically.

Ex#1: Your F-16 is on a manually plotted course from A to B. An enemy plane comes into range from an off-axis direction. If "Ignore Plotted Course" is checked No, the F-16 may fire on the enemy, but will still continue along its assigned course rather than pursuing.

Ex#2: Your ASW helo is assigned an ASW mission and is working a patrol zone. You manually give the helo orders to a location in the patrol zone. "Ignore Plotted Course" is checked No. When a sub is detected, the helo will move to carry out its mission (kill the sub) with precedence over any manual orders you have provided.

Manual says this for Ignore Plotted Course:
quote:

Ignore Plotted Course When Attacking: If units are on plotted
courses and are given an attack order they will fly to the end of their
plotted course and carry out the attack by default. Selecting this
options turns that behavior off and units will attack immediately.

Colonel Mustard examples are right. Doghouse out.
