jubail1999 -> I Thought This Got Fixed (9/27/2005 5:19:23 PM)

Playing PBEM with stock scenario 15, program version 1.6. I set a mission for 2 squadrons of aircraft to Naval Attack with a secondary mission of Airfield attack. In AM turn they attacked ships, and in PM turn they both attacked the airfield. Hey, great for me, but I was under the impression that this bug got squashed in version 1.5. Am I mistaken?

Why do you think that it is a "bug"? It almost sounds like a "feature" to me...[;)]

I'm guessing that the "Great Dice Gawd in the Machine" decided that your guys couldn't find those ships for the second air turn and so sent the planes off to hit the airbase.

The moral of the story is - don't mix up missions unless you really, really want to...[;)]

You are mistaken. It is not a bug. That's the way it is supposed to work IMO.

I think you might be getting confused with the Pearl harbor issue of the Japanese setting naval attack primary and port secondary and blasting the heck out of the battleships on the 7 December.

My memory is somewhat shakey but I read somewhere that if the primary mission is Naval attack and the distance is short, then there is a chance the sqaudons will also launch their secondary attack in the p.m. phase. How you define 'short' is a mystery.

I think this is what you are referring to from patch 1.5
quote:

53) Assigning a primary mission to air groups with a secondary mission of port attack sometimes allowed the groups to fly both missions in a single day. Fixed.


IIRC, what this was doing was letting aircraft attack ships in AM and PM of the same turn without regard to range. ie only can fly AM and PM if "short ranged" as mentioned above.
