Problem with CAP - 6/12/2007 7:45:14 PM

This lasted until 00:00 when they suddenly started working again.

Has anyone else experienced this?

In Midway numerous strikes were never launched from Midway and I had one fail to launch from one of my carriers. Thought it was me.

There seemed to be some squadrons in the forming up box but where the others went I'll never know. The day ended and nothing flew.

Have you got a save game for this? It would help to track it down if you can replicate it with a save before and then after the behaviour.

Yep IIRC.


Could have been one of those deals where some had to return due to its resources being used up before getting there. Used up waiting for the group to assemble. Just a guess though.

Sent it to support@ssg.com.au

Status: offline 		Well, there appears to be some sort of problem with the CAP modeling and/or functionality. I went back and checked my final results for my last sitting of the Midway scenario, and found that only EIGHT Japanese a/c were lost to the CAP of Midway and the three USN carriers combined, this despite an all-out effort to maximize that aspect of the Allied defense. In a similar vane, an examination of some Pearl Harbor/pre-warning results showed only TWENTY-SIX IJN a/c lost to CAP in spite of the fact that all Army and Navy fighters were devoted to that mission. I believe that's the same number that was lost in the surprise attack.

Someone is terribly wrong, here.

Status: offline 		Dang if I don't hate to reply to myself, but I just played another Midway scenario. The after battle results indicated that the U.S. CAP had destroyed NO Japanese fighters, none. Japanese losses were all attributed to heavy flak, fire-damage loss while on CAP, no viable point of return, or prange.
