Late Activation Changes Advanced Settings

[Alpenwolf]

In some of the missions I have players can capture airbases, FARP's, industrial areas, towns, etc.

When the conditions are met and the capturing takes place, a small number of AA units is activated to hold that area. In the ME I give the units the following advanced settings:

 

- ROE = Weapon Free

- Alarm State: RED

 

The problem is, when the units get activated the Alarm State changes to AUTO and for some reason the AA units don't seem to fire at enemy aircraft. And by "don't seem" I mean they do rarely which even confuses me more. Either there's a bug and they don't fire or it's fine and they do fire but what we have here is they fire but rarely. I play with the CA module quite often on the Cold War server and I notice that every time I'm online watching enemy planes flying over IR SAM's or AAA's (while being within range of course) and they rarely fire at the bandits.

Whether the AA units are part of one group or not it's always the same result. The late activation must be doing something there.

Do you have a track or at least a video? What model of AA units are you talking about ?

Strela, Avenger, Shilka, Vulkan...

Even APC's and tanks actually so it's not just the AA units only but those are the ones I use the most.

OK, so we're talking about short range AA. Do you have a track, a mission or at least a video showing this issue?

I can try to reproduce it but I need a few clues, since those weapons do shoot aircraft in my missions.
