1.7.0 I have a little problem -issues List

[Otto Halfhand]

I just installed 1.7 and started a game on Vyazma Map -as Soviets vs Wehr. A couple of minutes into the game, (maybe 5), I acquired a captured 88mm flak cannon at the central VP. I did nothing to do so and was playing the Soviets. The only thing I can think of is that there is campaign scenario contaminating the map for skirmishes. Surely something is amiss.

Edit: I loaded a game using PE/Wehr vs Sovs. No Flak 88 this time but the barrel of JadgPanther was missing from the model. Soviets are spamming Sharpshooter squads bigtime. Nice to see Soviet Sappers placing mines.

Edit: Loaded another game of Vyzama Played soviets and recieved a captured 88 at 2min 23 sec as above.

Stared a game Sovs vs wehr Karkhov. spawned 4 sappers built T1. Attempted to spawn Conscript:

• ms: 38/39 pop cap reached capture more sectors
• debug ms: Squad spawned ... \88 Flak (local player 4). Actually two (2) Flak 88s were spawned and I was given control, @ 2 minutes 6 secs.

I was playing player position 1.  Note: Tactical maps do not appear on set up screen. Don't know if this is an issue.

What do you mean? Flak 88s were spawning by themselves or there are recrewable flaks?

I have played games on Kharkov and on Vyazma maps in each case when I played as Sovs ~ 2 minutes into the game one or two fully crewed/undamaged Flak 88s joined my faction.

On the Kharkov map a debugging notification appeared stating an Axis 88 had been spawned with the annotation "(local Player 4)"

In both cases the flak guns were sited in the vicinity of the central VP.

On Vyazma the flak was perfectly sited in optimal green cover. On Kharkov both 88s were sited too close together but on both maps the 88s had excellent LOS for very long distances.

IMO the AI could not site these squads in such an optimal manner. I think maybe I am seeing Units being spawned for a campaign scenario because of the excellent siting and the early appearance IIRC it takes about 7 CP to unlock Wehr Flak 88s.

I Played Vyazma as PE with nothing untoward happening.

I will post additional info as I obtain it.

I Played Kharkov as Wehr with the Fixed positions and the switch starting sides option (IE I was player 1). Nothing untoward happened.

Started a game on Korosten map as Soviets. Interesting map. At 2min/34 seconds int game  "Squad spawned sbps\races\axis\vehicles\88_flak_squad (local player 4)" notification appeared. A fully manned, undamaged 88 joined my faction at the SP in the dead center of the map. LOS covered East/Wwest rail road perfectly. Less then optimal LOS coverage on North/South road. Does a normal squad have sbps designation? thought it was sbp\races\...

That is because cheat mod was added to 1.7 without intending to do so.

I think randomly spawned 88s for the Soviets is a great way to give them some more firepower
