Intermittent sensor defaults to zero

Sonar will never turn on because Intermittent defaults will show 0 mins Active for 0% variance and then 5 min Passive for 50% variance

1. [PDb] Intermittent sensor defaults to zero (3.10).scn in GE
2. Run from Side One
3. Create Support mission and have all sensor settings for Int
4. Assign DD Spruance to mission
5. Sonar will never turn on because Intermittent defaults will show 0 mins Active for 0% variance and then 5 min Passive for 50% variance

Magazine validation erroneous

The H3Reimer Editor Validation command for the magazine table uses improper logic thereby mis-calculating magazine capacity

The Validation command for the magazine table uses improper logic.

When the command is given, it calculates the maximum possible number of weapons for a magazine and assumes that this should be the capacity of the magazine. Therefore, if a magazine consisted of two weapons record entries such as:

Torpedo1 6/12
Torpedo2 6/12

the H3RE estimates that the maximum capacity of the magazine should be 24. This is wrong since the total magazine capacity of this submarine example should only be 12. A scenario designer could switch weapons around and load a combined maximum of 12 weapons into the magazine.

As well, the Magazine Weapons Records must have some empty 'space' so that a player can unload weapons that may already be loaded into the tubes.

If the weapons records were changed to:

Torpedo1 6/6
Torpedo2 6/6

the current loads in the tubes would have no place to unload in order to switch to a different weapon.

The H3RE validation check is also inconsistent with the H3Editor. A Sanity Check using the H3Editor evaluates using the largest potential record in the magazine. For example, if a magazine had the following two Weapons Records:

Torpedo1 6/6
Torpedo2 6/12

the H3Editor would check to see if the magazine capacity was at least 12 (and not 18).

Magazines forcibly re-set

AI will automatically calculate magazine loadout and discard weapons it considers in excess of capacity leaving a user no opportunity to either stop this process or correct his error before records are wiped

1. Load [PDb] Magazines forcibly re-set (3.10).scn in SE
2. AI will automatically calculate magazine loadout and discard weapons it considers in excess of capacity
3. User has no opportunity to either stop this process or correct his error before records are wiped

Missile dives 60km instantaneously

Missile will instantaneously dive from 60,000m to 132m for the terminal attack profile

1. Change DF-21 ASBM Weapon characteristics so that Cruise altitude is 60000m and dive rate is 6000m/s
2. Load [PDb] Missile dives 60km instantaneously (3.10).scn in GameEditor
3. Fire DF-21 at ship
4. Track missile
5. At a distance of 20nm from the ship, the missile will instantaneously dive from 60,000m to 132m for the terminal attack profile

Multiple re-build ops cause freeze

Multiple use of "Re-build by Battleset" command causes scenario to balloon in size and freeze during load

1. Load NWCM1.scn into SE from PlayersDB Library collection
2. Order Export of All Weapons Edits
3. Order Re-build by Battleset
4. Repeat Step 3 twenty times in a row
5. NWCM1.scn size was .99mB will balloon to 1.83mB
6. Attempt to Open re-built file (1.83mB size)
7. SE will freeze

Non-existent Profile command

According to AGSI Wiki, "The scenario and database editors may load mission profiles on user command. Select the menu item Edit->Mission Profiles->Load." No such "Load" command exists.

Path editor only appends in MP

Path editor only appends in MP when it should be adding plotted path at whatever waypoint is selected

1. Plot path with 2 waypoints for unit in MP
2. Select first waypoint and attempt to plot path from that point onwards by hitting F3 button
3. Game adds waypoint to the end of Waypoint 2 instead of deleting Waypoint 2 and continuing plotting from Waypoint 1
