Adrian1914 Beta Tester 300 posts 5,993 battles Report post #1 Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) - over me 2 left, no hostiles around them - over me 1 left The enemy carrier was sending planes to reset their cap and as I was out of fighters I was ctrl+clicking planes to try to take them out with AA and after a shot down a few I get a "Clear sky" medal. I actually laughed when I saw it and was still confused as I was sure I hadn't shot down 30 panes and indeed when I glanced at those ribbons or whatever they are I saw I've shot down only 20!! which confirmed that I have been shooting down my own planes! So I want to know is this BS working as intended?? Because it made my fighters practically useless for the whole match, I was hoping that at least when i service them it would "fix" itself. Has any1 else had this happen to them? Edited September 5, 2015 by Adrian1914 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[R-D] Last_Rites Players 209 posts 8,622 battles Report post #3 Posted September 5, 2015 Damn, this suddenly makes sense to me now. I've had the clear sky award on about 20 or so planes a few times now. I wondered why I'd lose more planes than the enemy within AA range of my carrier.

Just attach it to either the original thread or a new comment, but put the replay in a .rar, just winrar it, cause for some reason, WG failed the file upload and it doesn't recognize their own replay files... PM me with the replay (or link to the replay in dropbox for examle). Hey, i wanna see and laugh at WG aswell Edited September 5, 2015 by NecroFlex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, i was just in a game with my Hosho and the ally zuiho fighters were in my barrage way and my barrage did nothing to them and they didn't/weren't able to attack me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adrian1914 Beta Tester 300 posts 5,993 battles Report post #12 Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Hey, i wanna see and laugh at WG aswell You will laugh at my failing to do anything that game also, after that bug hapened I was more focused on looking at wtf is going on than playing. Guess I will post it here, so whoever is interested can see it. Btw Sharana pls tell me after u see it, if in the beginning of the battle where I did an auto drop on a DD, if that auto drop was bugged some way because it was the most weird drop of torpedoes I've ever seen so far in this game - the cone was like very tight, almost like 2 of the halves of the cone overlapping and was kind of glitching around with the direction which will drop them, and it launched them in a very random direction not even close to the direction the DD was going and they could have hit a friendly. Edit: Forgot to mention in case you are wondering why in start I'm not doing anything it's cause my low end PC. When the game loads it's on average 18:40 - 18:20 left on the clock replay.rar Edited September 5, 2015 by Adrian1914 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SPUDS] Unintentional_submarine [SPUDS] Beta Tester 4,052 posts 8,765 battles Report post #13 Posted September 5, 2015 Well, this is amusing... and sad. It seems to me that 22cm has bribed the AA gunners on the carriers. I get the feeling that he would if he could. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sharana Alpha Tester 2,271 posts 1,040 battles Report post #15 Posted September 5, 2015 Really weird stuff, I have absolutely no idea what went wrong or how to reproduce it (exactly), but it's 100% bug. The problem starts here - when you use the skillshot and your DBs are caught there in the attack zone. After this they (the DBs) are somehow bugged and their rear gunners shoot all the time applying dps to neaby planes. Yet it's not them shooting down your fighters, it's not your CV's AA either. They (the fighters) take damage and die away from everything else like ships, planes or your CV... So this pretty much is some nasty bug (one of the many...) that comes with the new fighters skillshot. Will be investigated further. PS: About the spread - this is since 0.4.0, leftovers from failed experiments with the inverted spread for IJN torpedo bombers. Not removed from the game and still here in 0.4.1 because ... reasons. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deathrow222 Beta Tester 177 posts 4,408 battles Report post #16 Posted September 5, 2015 so this can explain me what happen with my fighter squadrons that got killed when they where flying above my cv and there was no enemy fighters or enemy ships around me except for my own team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adrian1914 Beta Tester 300 posts 5,993 battles Report post #17 Posted September 5, 2015 Okay Sharan, ty for the reply! If it happens again I will post again here, maybe eventually we will figure out what's causing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[URGRN] NecroFlex Beta Tester 328 posts 1,825 battles Report post #19 Posted September 5, 2015 maybe eventually we will figure out what's causing it. We already did, bad coding on WG side, how this could have happened...idk, maybe the fighters that died while you were using that ability came back to haunt you and destroy you or sth and like Sharana said, your DBs were randomly firing their rear guns into the air for some reason.

II_Nemesis_II Weekend Tester 916 posts 1,191 battles Report post #20 Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) I am confirming Sharana's use-case with this fighter bug. My exact situation was. 1) TBs chased by 4 Hakuryu's fighters. 2) Split TBs from rest of the aircraft. 3) Used fighters manual aim on those 4 fighter groups combined with my one group of TBs. 4) Killed 9 aicraft from them 1 was mine from friendly fire. 5) Immediatelly after that my fighters started to take nonstop dmg. 6) Same as OP, got clear sky achievement when having 23 planes shot down.

Not removed from the game and still here in 0.4.1 because ... reasons. What? Awwww... That's a pretty lousy bug to still have in the game as it is super annoying to know you get hit (if you do) because you couldn't predict the drop. It sucks royally! And they didn't fix it... That's a major let down I must say. Hopefully they fix the OP's issue, and soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
