Rosencrantus -> GS Escorts (11/17/2021 9:34:29 AM)

This is in my StB game against Tyronec.

Despite one of the previous patches mentioning that the ground support escort system is working properly, I still can't shake my head off of it and still believe that it hasn't been properly fixed now that the weather has improved and I am actually running GS missions again.

In the picture you can see that the only fighter aircraft sent to this GS mission was from JG 3, not JG 51 or 4 which are significantly closer to the hex where fighting took place and are the actual AOGs that were assigned to the air directive. Not only that the air combat tab mentions that they are also only on "patrol" instead of "escort" which was how it was before this bug was declared fixed. In fact, so few fighter escorts are sent that in a few battles my tactical bombers given FW 190s are getting more kills than the actual fighters sent to the hex...

More combats where my I had only 14/84 fighters assigned showed up (and they showed up on patrol) to the hex with my bombers. If there was even a reasonable soviet air presence in this area I would have taken a lot more bomber losses than I should have. Is there anything that I am missing here?

Do you have a save before any of these battles? You clearly aren't getting escorts, but I need a save to try to understand why. Thanks.



Rosencrantus -> RE: GS Escorts (11/22/2021 6:42:25 PM)

This is from my server StB game against Tyronec on Axis turn 20. I already ended my turn but I remember hearing that you guys are able to access turns from a few turns in the past.

But here is also a save game from a SP game that was started all the way back in 1.00.04 where the same effect with escorts can be seen with any attacks on Soviet units in the South.

This is on the 01.02.01 beta.



Joel Billings -> RE: GS Escorts (11/23/2021 10:24:27 PM)

That save is from turn 28, and I couldn't get any ground support to fly at all. Is this the right save?



Rosencrantus -> RE: GS Escorts (11/23/2021 10:35:03 PM)

My apologies, I had two quicksave files and uploaded the wrong one. I'll upload the correct one as soon as I am able to.



Rosencrantus -> RE: GS Escorts (11/23/2021 11:36:20 PM)

Here is the correct file. Any GS missions result in only about 14-20 aircraft patrolling instead of the normal amounts seen in patches before this issue occurred.

Started all the way back in 1.00.04 and I currently have the 1.02.01 beta.

Don't mean to be persistent but I just downloaded the 1.02.06 beta to test it out and in my SP game using the save above, fighters still aren't escorting and flak losses are just out of the world. 42 planes lost to flak and 10 to operational.

Edit: just launched another combat where I lost 56 planes to flak in a single fight.

What the flak [X(]



Joel Billings -> RE: GS Escorts (11/29/2021 10:10:06 PM)

Ok, I can see it in that save. Have sent it to Gary to find out why escorts aren't flying.
