    • CHALLENGE: See if you can recreate this bug

      This "bug" I call: The Aircraft/Airfield Infinite Refuel Bug.

      The aircraft/airfield split infinite refuel bug is when you have air units (usually 5 or more) based out of an airfield, and you split them up to do separate missions rather than a 5 stack, sometimes when they get back, one set of them will get stuck in an infinite refuel. It's obvious as the plane icon will not be angled like other refueling aircraft, but pointed directly down and it will be positioned above the airfield no matter what direction it came in from. If you move your cursor over it, you will get the "Refueling for 15 minutes" that ISN'T counting down. Usually it will stay that way for about 10-30 minutes before it fixes itself, adopts a normal angled view AND then begins starting the countdown from 15 minutes.

      At first I thought maybe this was intentional as perhaps airfields aren't supposed to be able to refuel multiple groups at the same time, but no, I have many times refueled 3 five stacks at the same time, it only happens when I split stacks.

      Now I don't know how many planes are required but the last time I had it happen to me I had originally 2 five stacks there, 1 I kept intact, the other I split into two 2 groups and a single SF
      Only happens at airfields not airbases

    • And yes, technically I realize it is not an infinite refuel. It always seems to eventually correct itself, but you lose time which can be critical at certain points.

    • Received the bug once before when I was playing Rising Tides Madagascar, my 5 max level Strike Fighters had just returned from a sortie and were based out of a lv. 3 Air Base in Antananarivo. Submitted the bug report but issue seemed to have resolved itself by the time the devs got to it. I never tried recreating it.
      So

      Instead of choosing wings to fly, we chose hands to hold with each other.

      Yet the sky still fascinates us, is it such a crime to keep on dreaming?
    • @737373elj Hmmm interesting, ... it happened to you out of an airbase with non split stacks.

      This "bug" has happened to me 4 total times, and it has always been at an airfield with a split stack returning.

    • It happened to me AGAIN, but this time, like with 737373's incidence, it involved an airbase and no split sorties!!!

    • Second time this game. This is getting ridiculous, it is happening more and more.

      And I have no idea why these units have a "travel" and "arrival" time since they are sitting at the airfield with no orders.
