Legadian Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I downed a lander without killing the two heavy fighter escorts and then had my three fighters retreat. It left a crash-site that I cleared. After finishing the ground combat mission, I noticed that the crash-site was still there. When I sent the chinook back to check it out, it was downed by "enemy fire" which I assumed came from the two remaining heavy fighters (it didn't show a combat, just the message you'd get if a fighter hits your chinook). When I sent my fighters back to the fake crash-site, they just turned around and left after reaching the site. Eventually it just went away like any other crash-site does if ignored. I don't know if it is working as intended or a bug, but I thought I'd post it. If it is working as intended, I wonder why the heavy fighters didn't just down my chinook the first time around and if it is a bug it isn't really game breaking since we can just ignore the second, fake crash-site. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Have to try that again if you can and see how the game responds if your Chinook has escorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legadian Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Have to try that again if you can and see how the game responds if your Chinook has escorts. I managed to do it again later in that same game. If I send escorts with the chinook, they all get there and then just turn around and go back to base. I have save files before and after each incident, btw. Just don't know how to add them to the post..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiraga Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 How about uploading them to mediafire and posting a link in your thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legadian Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 How about uploading them to mediafire and posting a link in your thread? First time I encountered bug: Just before ground mission Just after ground mission (crash site still visible) Second time I encountered bug: Just before ground mission Just after ground mission (crash site still visible) Obviously I can't give a save game just before the air combat since we can't save with active UFO's on the map, but it was a lander and two heavy fighters engaged by my two Migs and an F-17. Each time, all three of my fighters retreated after the Lander was downed leaving the two Heavy Fighters alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
