CA Multiplayer artillery bug

[GCMallet]

We were testing the UH-1H together with Combined Arms and when one of the guys started firing the M270 MLRS. He got of a couple of missiles when suddenly the the single unit started to fire by it self and spraying out hundreds of missiles resulting in the server becoming unplayable due to the number of missiles flying around, warping and lag etc.

 

We restarted the server and the same artillery spamming occurred with the Paladin M109A6. The Paladin was firing its canon at a rate like a gatling gun. In both cases clients were playing first person in the affected unit. We had two ground commanders logged in at the same time.

 

Tried uploading the server track but it is a little to large. Attached is a TacView screen that shows the situation and the mission file.

this also happened to me with a t-80. It was spectacular to watch as I cut my way through a city spewing out HE shells like a machine gun. fun to watch but not practical. Restarting the mission stopped the firing.

Also same issue, but with the TOW missles it was a sight to see:D. Backing out of the unit and joining another stopped it.

What I do for MP misions is set only 2 MLRS units per group, also you can add 4 Self-propelled howitzers, then you have 2 MLRS and 4 howitzers. It is enough for a small area with some armors. So you get not critical FPS. About the bug of fire like a minigung, no idea I have not seen that yet

These are multiple TOW missles firing at an alarming rate from the Bradley:D
