Command units cant target aircraft

Post by Bethrezen »

hi all

just discovered a flaw in the design of the command unit for some reason it cant target aircraft when it should be able to considering it is supposed to be a command and control unit designed for directing and controlling any units assigned to it this includes AAA which at the moment wont function when assigned to a commander as the commander cant target aircraft this also screws other units like the assault gun and mini rocket pod that can shoot at both Air and Ground target when assigned to a commander they wont fire on air targets as the commander cant target them can we get this fixed please

Strange, i've seen commander targeting air units many times, and it seemed even annoying to me that it's distracted from battle even when no units attached to them can hit air.

Code: Select all

oh ?? now that's strange because I'm on beta 9 take out the SAM site and i have 5 AAA units attached to my commander to provide them with a but more durability so they don't get instant killed by the collectives tank killer vtols but when i try to select one of the vtols as a target nothing happens no cross hair over the selected target no little beam indicating the target has been selected which results in the AAA units that are attached siting there and doing nothing sometimes they will attack automatically and sometimes they wont its really temperamental and unreliable its like there stuck on Return Fire mode even though both the commander and AAA are set to Fire At Will

this is not a case of miss targeting because i have the game speed set as low as it will go and the when i detach the AAA units they work perfectly so this problem is definitely being caused by the commander

question is it on the campaign or the skirmish mode you have seen the command units targeting air craft ? if this is a bug and the commander is supposed to be able to target air craft then i can upload my save from beta 9

I'm on beta 9
I'm even afraid to ask if it's 2.3 beta 9. First of all, you really should update. It's worth it. Then if the bug remains, then really the only way to fix it is reporting, so you just create a ticket, better with a savegame attached. But sitting on a damn old and unsupported beta and crying about bugs?..

He never refered to the Binary version # - I took his reference to be Beta Mission 9.. But to be sure there is no confusion it's always a good idea to referece the Binary especially as there are now 3 current binaries. O_o

hi

sorry for the confusion Rman Virgil is correct i was referring to the mission beta 9 the one where you have to take out the sam sites just prier to evacuating beta base and with in 30 seconds of landing you get attacked by a couple of packs of tank killer vtols

as to which version of warzone I'm running that would be the latest stable as far as i am aware version 2.3.7 (2.3 brance r504abc2 Built Jan 21 2011) or that's what it says on the main screen when you start Warzone up

i don't mean to sound like I'm crying about bugs I'm just reporting issues I'm encountering as i play ....
