Scenario/save included

Title says it all really, once a VLAD buoy is dropped the aircraft stops dropping sono buoys completely even if there is enough room in the asw pattern to drop others because it wants to keep dropping VLAD's, this is a serious problem because aircraft will not cover asw mission completely. It also won't drop buoys on a contact that hasn't been completely nailed down yet if its within a VLAD buoy search area which also hinders the asw mission, especially for aircraft without MAD.

Let the P-8 on the ASW mission and watch what happens after it drops a VLAD, there is NK submarine because that's what I was messing around with when I found this problem.

Thanks Raptor

We've got this one on our list and are looking at it. The issue is sonobouys are set to drop at 1.5x their sonar range. VLADs have a huge range. Guys are exploring options on how to deal with this.

Thanks!

Mike

Thanks, fixed in Build 934. You should observe much tighter sonobuoy groupings now.

(Next bug report: "My MPAs are dropping too many sonobuoys in the same place")
