Michael Wermelin -> LAN-switching weapons (12/20/2000 6:21:00 PM)

On two different occasions I have noticed that when playing online/LAN games the weaponry of som units change. For example, when playing Poland advancing on Germany in sept 1939, the German scout veichles with 20mm cannon and 7.7mm machine gun had different armament when THE OTHER player was viewing the vehicle. On the polish players screen the veichle seemed to use 250kg bombs!!! And in fact, the attack result was much as a 250kg bomb, it killed a lot and left shell holes. But not on the german players screen, he only observed a lot of kills.
Second. Germany advanced on Sovjet in jun 1941. When the german player destroyed the SO 20mm AA gun the crew fled. The same crew later rallied and turned to defend a forest hex. Mark the suprise of the SS riflemen advancing when on the german player sceen the crew drew their 150mm FH to wipe the nazis out with two "well aimed" shots. On the SO player's screen, they just fired their misc.small arms, and scored superb hits.
Why is this happening? Needless to say, both computers have the proper 4.4 versions and the game is running just fine in all other aspects.
Other strange things happened as well, for example aircraft who fired on different targets on the two computers, and tanks coming back alive after a strafe of an airplane.
