Heya, this is a bit of a strange bug but I'll try describe it as good as possible.
There is a mission where after sinking all the ships the objective isn't counted as completed for red nor blue. And no it's not the bug where ships end up being unsinkable..they actually do sink and get reported as such in the log messages, it's just the final orange text that doesn't show up when all have sunk.
The objective also isn't listed among the completed ones when the server gives the periodic update of which are cleared and which are still up.
It's on the map where the briefing says:
Blue needs to destroy the british armory in G7.4 and the British fleet
Red needs to destroy 5ships, supply depot at L5.3 adnd the Ju-88's at N7.9
Saying this, I couldn't find the mapname anywhere in the briefing. Unless I looked over it maybe the name could be listed at the top of the briefing for easier recognition and bugreporting/suggestions?
On this map I've often heard blues and reds talk about not finding any ships after a while.
Had some time today so I tested it from the red side, all the time being the only Blenheim ingame.
-Started out by sinking 5 ships(all there were) in ~K5 and saw 5 "Warhound sunk medium tanker" messages, but the server never listed the objective as completed (no orange msg nor listed in the periodic targets update)
-Destroying the Supply depot at L5.3 gives an orange message saying the Ju-88's at Oye Plage were destroyed and lists the Ju-88's as completed in the periodic targets update.
-Destroying the Ju-88's at Oye Plage gives an orange message that a Panzer tank division was destroyed at M4.5 and lists M4.5 as a completed target.
-Flying over M2.5 and M4.5 shows no targets present at those locations.
-Flying as blue in previous weeks a similar bug seemed present on this map. Once all visible ships were destroyed a few guys hunted for them and flew from Selsey way to the west to London along the coast and never met a single ship. (So no bugged, unsinkable ones)
-I seem to recall bombing G7.4 also gave an orange message saying the Blenheims at Ramsgate were destroyed. But cannot confirm that with 100% certainty.
In the end this mission is well and truly bugged and cannot be completed, so it always runs the full 5.5hours till a draw is declared.
To me it seemed to have started when the server started using HL again, but it could also be from the new patch or from when that new big mission was put onto Server 1 (were they all updated when it was uploaded maybe?)
Anyway, just posting as it can be quite frustrating for bombers to put so much work in and not see the objectives completed or the map rolled.
Hoping some brighter minds than mine can look into it and even find a fix. :Grin:
