Aircraft - Landing Bug?

Post by GottaLove88s »

Gents, I'm trying to land a damaged 'plane back onto a carrier. It shows the white 'order to land' icon. But once I press that, the 'plane doesn't land automatically, and the game doesn't show any option (of the two carriers) where it could land.

I assume OOB is getting confused because there are other 'planes directly on top of the two carriers? I've had this problem before in other scenarios. Is it intentional that if there are 'planes (either mine or the enemy) on top of my carrier, I am unable to land?

Or is this a bug?

(For now, I've quit this game without sending my MP turn, to figure out if there's a clever technique I haven't figured out yet... Btw is there a way to save MP games, to come back to them later?)

Hi gottalove88

I like that name. I get same in campaign seems to happen if 2 or more aircraft carriers are next to each other. The problem seems happen only if aircraft not directly over the aircraft carrier. Yes it pain as waste move. Normally if only single carrier the aircraft land normally. I think its bug needs sorting.

Aircraft should be able to land from one hex away. Normally when you click on the land icon in the left panel, you should see the hex change so you can land. It was brought up in the beta and was changed so your opponent couldn't park his aircraft over your carrier or landing field.

If it's not working that way...then something is wrong.

It should be possible, as mentioned, when there are two possible carriers where the plane could land, to click on the carrier you want to land on after pressing the land button.

If that's not working, it's a bug.
