WRA Issue engaging ASW Helicopter contact - 2/22/2018 3:17:20 AM

Status: offline 		Hi,
My task group won't stop engaging the ASW helicopter (clearly identified as hostile).
I've set the SM-1 and SM-2 WRA to not engage at all (I also tried shorter distances but it didn't matter) 'unspecified' helicopter contacts.

But they keep shooting standard missiles over and over again. I've told them to disengage, like disengage all targets but they keep shooting...

They shoot then the ASW heli goes below the radar horizon - the the missile loses illumination (it's SAHR) and it keeps missing over and over and over again.
Is this is bug? What do I do differently?

To know the type of target, you can use manual engagement "Shift F1"

Status: offline 		Ok I guess this makes sense... although if it's already identified as an 'ASW' helicopter... isn't the type generally already presumed?

Although I see what you mean about the WRA

I do not see where the type of target is written in the status of the unit that allows me to adjust the WRA
Do we have the same info in the status of the unit?
