reported La Combattante II missile explodes shortly after launch

[Red_Camarada]

hi everyone, after setting up a mission with la combattante to attack a convoy I found out that this ship is killing itself with its own harpoons, track attached.

There was another track posted here which shows what is happening.

Part of the problem though is that the La Combattante IIa's launchers are for MM38 Exocet (which should be MM38 Exocet Block 1) - not RGM-84D.

EDIT: Linx also mentioned the Condell below this - that's another case of Harpoon being fired from Exocet launchers (though for the Condell, those should be MM40 Exocet Block 1, not MM38).

Addendum for Condell's, actually linking this time

This is also the case with Almirante Lynch and Almirante Condell. The issue appeared at the same time as the one with La Combattante.
They either hit themselves or fire the Harpoon in the water.

Anti ship missiles  used  to  launch  ok.  Now they launch and fall into the  sea 5  meters from  the launch, or  sometimes  explode  on  launch.

Same issue with Admiral Condell and Admiral Lynch frigates.

This was supposed to be fixed in today's update according to the patch notes, but at least for the La Combattante it hasn't been. They still destroy themselves upon launch of their missiles.

Change log for today reports this is fixed, but it is not. La Combattante still destroys itself on missile launch.

Same with OHP Class, launched RGM-84D immediately explodes

Still an issue as of time of this post. Change log reported it fixed, but it is not.

I've just bumped the internal report.

Despite being writen in the recent changelog:

• AI sea. Harpoon explodes in launcher La Combattante 2 - fixed.

The unit still exploding after harpoon is lauched

[Northstar98]

And it really needs to be firing Exocet, not Harpoon.

Yes. What has changed is that the missile doesn't explode in its launcher anymore. That's some progress.

The explosion of the first missile close to the launcher ship is reported.

That's already reported as well.

OK, that's just cruel of them to include that in the changelog when it doesn't fundamentally fix the fact that the missile can't fire.  They should wait until it will fire before they bother to include it.

I'm not sure how this came into the changelog, though. It seems there were a few other errors in that changelog (B-52 weapons, for instance).
