Default Re: Air-to-surface missile targeting a loaded unit

OK. Don't bother with a save game the test games we have shows this well enough. The radar signature for those guns is not being shut down when they are loaded but in game code terms when a unit is a passenger it goes to -1,-1 to wait for the time it unloads. When the aircraft fires it's ARM it finds the signature of those loaded radar AA guns at -1,-1 and when the missile explodes it affects everything in -1,-1 and if you have dozens of other units waiting there you get the result you are now familiar with

We now know why it's happening. What we don't understand is how this could have existed for so long with nobody reporting it before now. If may be that nobody ever loaded a radar AA gun in a truck before a SEAD strike was called in. However. it will be fixed for the patch due out by the end of the month
