Whisper Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) I'm kind of sorry for this bug report, it may be not helpful at all since it will lack reproductibility and debug info (I didn't record the track unfortunately, all I can provide is the tacview file), but I prefer to have it logged in case someone else has seen the same behavior. Context : The Big Show campaign, mission 1 After the big dogfight, one of the AI Spitfire on it's way RTB got shot multiple times by a Anton, on the tip of the left wing only. It triggered somehow an engine failure, which made the Anton give up the chase (or maybe he was out of ammo). After the engine seized, the Spitfire began spiralling non stop, without ever losing speed or altitude, while its engine was off. Link to Tacview file : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1r5U_S8ZGdWaxttkzHti81VitN50q1ccp/view?usp=sharing Faulty unit is Brutus #5, it gets shot at around the 14:10 mark, and begins spiralling shortly after Edited January 4 by Whisper Track details info Whisper of old OFP & C6 forums, now Kalbuth. Specs : i7 6700K / MSI 1070 / 32G RAM / SSD / Rift S / Virpil MongooseT50 / Virpil T50 CM2 Throttle / MFG Crosswind. All but Viggen, Yak52 & F16 Link to post Share on other sites
philstyle Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Many players have reported B17s (and possible the other AI bombers) can turn into "zombies" after a certain time. At this point the aircraft will circle/ fly indefinitely and becomes impossible to bring down -even after the crew has bailed out and despite an7y number of fires and even with all four engines stopped. Here is a TRK file which shows this happening: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IhAwZShev5OpQNI7pdoQQKRAOw6DHwlA/view?usp=sharing On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/philstylenz Storm of War WW2 server website: https://stormofwar.net/ AMD 3700x, GTX 1080Ti, 32GB 3200 RAM, Auros Pro X570, 2TB M.2 drive Link to post Share on other sites

rayrayblues Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I took these shots on Tuesday. The flames aren't right. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to post Share on other sites
GR00VYJERRY Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 This really needs to get fixed. It is literally mission breaking when trying to have any triggers happen as a result of bombers going down. Link to post Share on other sites

Is any evidence needed (I can grab some screenshots)? Link to post Share on other sites

But they would be better if they were placed a bit forward. Those are not engine fire but fuel tanks fire : Link to post Share on other sites

jonsky7 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Experienced this also, B17 bomber circling endlessly, also the occasional fighter. And planes flying with no engine indefinitely, upside down, for some reason. Link to post Share on other sites

This picture was taken on Fri. Jan. 29, two days after the patch. The bomber is just floating at 21964 ft. at 90 kts. Well below stall speed, but it won't go down. The crew bailed out 15 mins. before the above shot was taken. Edited January 29 by rayrayblues [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to post Share on other sites

Nealius Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I'm experiencing the same with K-4s. Has this been acknowledged for all AI units or just the B-17 so far?

I'm seeing it on a regular basis on the current OB, Channel map, only with K-4s. Antons and Doras go down for the most part (after emptying all my ammo into them), but the K-4s orbit upside down or on fire forever. For what it's worth, the specific K-4s that seem to do it more often than others are set to CAS with the following advanced waypoint actions: 1. Reaction to Threat=EVADE FIRE 2. ROE=ONLY DESIGNATED 3. Restrict Jettision=ON 4. RTB on out of ammo=Unguided 5.RTB on Bingo Fuel=ON K-4s tasked with CAP and fewer or no advanced waypoint actions don't appear to have as much trouble.

JG13Wulf Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I can add I saw this for almost all warbirds (P47, P51 and Spit too). Most of time it happen when the AI get shot in vertical. It loose speed and then go backward in strait line to the ground. I thought it was an AI bad behavior that arrived because AI got updated but not finished. Link to post Share on other sites
