AI Hornets mysteriously get hit

[Tango777]

PG map, deck of the USS Stennis, Offline, Single player, Instant action - Carrier takeoff.

 

How is it that the AI Hornets which are wingmen can get hit after they park and shutdown their aircraft when there is no combat of any type? Minutes after that they can spontaneously combust, damage the carrier, and thereby render the Stennis useless for practicing launches and traps because there are little fires on the deck.

 

Attached is the latest track where 2 of the wingmen radio "I'm hit, I'm hit" over and over.

 

I would attach a screenshot but I have no luck anymore by taking one.

 

This time though it took several minutes to load the Carrier Takeoff "mission" whereby it usually only takes 45 to 60 seconds at the most. It took at least 5 minutes for the computer to load part of the sequence Terrain Init: 1 and the part of the sequence before that.

Hmm, sadly, no way to declare "Airmen down, bullseye, ..." for SAR

Is something or someone trying to spawn at that location?

 

No. No spawning.

 

If you want to experience this. Click on Instant Action, Persian Gulf, Carrier Takeoff.

 

I thought I heard that there was an update coming out today, so maybe there has been a fix.

 

If you read other bugs that I have submitted with no one replying to it, I think there is a thread started by me regarding the rescue chopper appearing out of no where (when I caught one of the arresting cables) in between cats 3 and 4 where the chopper was on fire and smoking. I wonder how the chopper magically appeared there the moment I landed and how he was damaged. There was never a "I'm hit" message on the radio from the chopper, or any other radio message from the chopper.

 

If you want to read my bug threads that I start, you will notice that I never fly online.
