London Ruft Mission Bug

[II./JG77_Rya]

me and my wingman were flying axis at the beginning of the London Ruft mission. We went to attack a 4 ship corvette group that started in BC 29. after our first attack in 109E4Bs at the very beginning of the mission, we went off to fly as fighters. Later on in the mission we came back with an 88 and a 110 at around 1:55 remaining in the mission. The ships were bugged along their route.

I was on attack run to find that the ships were floating in the air, and tilted on their side. i nearly rammed it as i was confused, and stalled out and crashed.. here is a screenshot of what they looked like

a few minutes later, they returned to normal

and then my wingman later reported the ships we upside down in the water, and one even blew his wing off while they were upside down. in 5 attacks, 3 times our wings were blown off instantly... It doesnt seem right. Regardless of that fact, these ships are clearly bugged

Thanks for any help or response we can get on fixing this issue

These Ships (Corvettes) do not play fair. Seems the Royal Navy has some new tactics up their sleeves.





Even when they are upside down they can still shoot your wing off.

Ships other than the cargo ships are known to be buggy, but the flying ships I believe have something to do with playing online and all the bits of data that have to be sent to and from.

It doesn't happen all the time so not the biggest deal, although when it does happen its a bummer. I'd say this happens to me maybe 10% of my flying time, if that.

It has nothing to do with the mission London Ruft, just CloD in general online.

Hope that helps.

This happens a lot on Kanalkampf also. If we are attacking ships and they appear to be levitating, We have to circle a while until they render in correctly. Then we can attack.

No idea why. Way beyond my pay grade.

The "Flying Ships" are a known bug (http://tfbt.nuvturais.de/issues/659), probably (as Spiritus wrote) in the netcode. Sometimes I can watch them (sitting in Querqueville, Mission Relinquish) slowly descending from 50 m in the air down into the water until they float as they should.

The operable Flak on apparently (to you) upside down ships may be related.
