I already show this bug earlier, but sadly was moved to archives (they forgot to update this post to 0.6.3) The same thing happened to me and fortunately I was recording it.

(Skip in music is because I stopped the recording because I panicked thinking it was FRAPS fault but it wasn´t)

 

Also something weird: My torpedo bombers where locked in the place when they were under attack by enemy fighters, like if they would be regular fighters.

 

[Sargento_YO]

I already posted this bug but sadly it was moved to archives (because admin forgot to update the threat to 0.6.3 one) so I will post it again:

1 – Description

When you play as a carrier you need to struggle with the controls to be able to select an enemy ship as a target.

 

2 – Reproduction steps

Play as a carrier and try to select an enemy ship as a target using the “old” controls.

 

3 – Result

When you hover over the enemy ship the planes wouldn´t acknoledge it as a target and instead will just move there like if there is nothing on the spot. Some destroyers needs to be targeted right at the tip of the bow (and even in front of it!)

 

4 – Expected result

Usually its very easy to select the target ship to attack.

5 – Technical details

Bug noted at 16:30 or so, GMT.

Also I recorded the bug to give a better idea of what I meant:

[mrblueskye]

1- Description

 

While in CV in map mode selectig enter to use chat freezes controls and keyboard. Can't type chat messages and can't select anything with mouse either.

 

2 - Reproduction Steps

 

Enter game as CV. Use 'M' to engage map mode. Hit 'enter' to open chat box.

 

3 - Result

 

Interface freezes. Can't type in chat or select anything with mouse. ALT-TAB to desktop and back to game closes chat window and you can again select with mouse. Coming out of map mode first in order to use chat does not cause the freeze.

 

4 - Expected Result

[Beardroid91]

Have been fixed, [space] can now be changed another function 

 

1. Description
You cannot assign the key [space] for the artillery cam, it was possibly in 0.6.2 and before.

 

 
2. Reproduction steps
Tried to unbind the CV command for back to ship, but even if it is set to a different key then i still can not assign [space] for the artillery cam even-though it should be free. 
 
3. Result

Says ("Hotkey reserved") but reserved for what !?

 

Not able to play with [space] as my artillery cam, and therefor not able to play on 0.6.3 PTS

 

4. Expected result

Should be possibly to change the key to space like in older patches - but it is not.

 
5. Technical details
Happens every time, and i guess it will happen until they fix it...!

Think it has to do with the new CV commands overlapping the normal commands.

1. Description
If a bomber group is under attack by fighters and the player gives it a new order, the bombers will freeze in place until they are destroyed. If no new order is given, they will continue the run, as it happens in the current version.
 
2. Reproduction steps

• On a carrier, give your bombers an automatic drop order (I don't know if it also happens with manual)
• wait for the enemy fighters to engage them (not strafe)
• while under attack, give them a new target

 

3. Result
The planes will freeze on the spot and ignore any further orders you give them, until they are destroyed.
 
4. Expected result
The planes should respond to the new command, like it happens on the live version. Or at least complete the original command, in case I missed something on the patch notes.
 
5. Technical details

Happened on March 21, at around 20:00 WET.

1. Description

Enemy ships do not sink and continue to fire when destroyed in the introductory mission (the one you can play before you have played 10 games)

 

2. Reproduction steps

Played it first in the IJN ship then tried it in the US ship

 

3. Result

The enemy ships explode when destroyed but then just cease movement, do not sink and continue to fire their guns.

 

4. Expected result

The destroyed ships to cease fire and start sinking.

 

5. Technical details

Occurred during play on 22nd March

 

While this has no effect on the players ability to complete the mission it could confuse new players who do not realise the ships have been destroyed and not just become untargetable/unhittable.

​I got very lucky and got a Supercontainer with the "Take a Chance", and it does the same thing of lowering it into the hold and then swinging another one in. The other containers seem to be working fine though.
