[SCRUB] Loran_Battle Beta Tester 1,245 posts Report post #1 Posted April 2, 2015 For some reason my planes wouldn't land nor take off during the course of this battle. They were sorta stuck? To specify: my fighters had landed and reloaded and wouldn't take off, while my TBs and DBs were just circling at first. Group 4 than proceeded to 'land'. But got stuck just before landing. After ordering to fly them around a few times they suddenly became unstuck and landed, while my fighters launched. anybody experienced something like this as well?

I think it happens when some planes are just about to land and you order others to take off. They take priority and something is getting messed up. You need to abort the landings, order the stuck squadron to take off again and wait random amount of time (between few secs to almost 2 minutes) for them to get unstuck Anyway most STs don't play CVs so much, but today I was finally able to catch this in a replay for them, so they can try to recreate it now.

However, this literally getting stuck midair (?) I've not seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, this literally getting stuck midair (?) I've not seen. To be honest I've never saw the loops after "bad landing approach", because the landing is auto, but I don't really look at them. Can you please explain those loops or even better do you have screenshot? The squadrons themself are not stuck, your flightdeck queue is stuck/frozen/overloaded. The landing planes are in the queue waiting for other planes to take off, while those planes who have to take off are in the queue waiting for the others to land Basically you can't operate for some time, because nothing will take off and nothing can land.

Figment Beta Tester 3,801 posts 10,499 battles Report post #5 Posted April 3, 2015 It now and then happens while I make a sharp turn. Kinda like when your planes overshoot a marker for a torp or bomb aproach run. Sometimes they are just too close to your carrier and keep making the bad run attempt by attempting to come in from the side onto the landing point, which of course is not possible, but then they turn around and try to come from the side from the opposite direction, again coming in too close to make the turn. Have to manually.pull them back and force a landing and then they instantly land. This sometimes also occurs when you let someone take-off just as one is about to make its landing run.

lalucre Beta Tester 3 posts 4,662 battles Report post #6 Posted April 4, 2015 Just adding the info that I also had this bug once, a couple of days ago. It also happened when I let different squadrons start and land at the same time. I do not remember, if there were any sharp turns involved. After a about a minute of trying stuff out, clicking all the plane buttons, it suddenly went back to normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
