Tailhook -> [Logged] ASBM vs SM-3 Engagement Oddity (5/10/2021 6:33:21 PM)

Greetings,
Playing the "Escalation" (updated from the forum) scenario from the Kashmir Fire scenario and encountered a weird bug. Scenario attached.
The Lincoln CSG is currently off the SW coast of the tip of the Indian peninsula. There is an (as yet undetected) ASBM engagement currently underway on the CSG, with 4x DF-26 RVs inbound. Both these RVs and the Carrier escorts are not behaving as anticipated, with varied results every time. On some engagements, the ASBMs come in cruising aggressively shallow (like 30,000 feet from 120 nm away) and/or miss well short of their target. While I know that it is possible for ASBMs to glide in the atmosphere, this seems far too low and not what is going on here.
In other engagements (I have loaded this particular scenario about 10 times now to see what happens and gotten various results but all similar. It even crashed one time "Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException'.), the USS Anzio does not engage the ASBMs with it's onboard SM-3. The error message is "The weapon's target-altitude envelope does not match any point in the target's estimated trajectory." The issue is these missiles are coming right for the CSG, so I can't imagine there isn't actually a solution available to the Cruiser which is explicitly equipped to deal with this very attack.
I also think that SBIRS and/or other satellites, as well as the radar on the cruiser should have detected these missiles much earlier than they do, but I could be wrong here.
How I believe this situation SHOULD work out:
-ASBM detected on ballistic path (at significant altitude) at least 250 nm away headed for CSG
-Anzio acquires firing solution and engages ASBMs.
-RNG handles the rest
As it stands, the ballistic missiles don't fly a consistent ballistic path, and even when they do the cruiser can't engage them.
Edit: I have now had the game crash 5 times as I continue playing the scenario. I suspect a memory leak.
