Mosquito fires rockets on Ai start ... ?

[jollyjack]

Is this a bug? Mosquito Autostart or Ai start fires rockets once ...

[jeanba]

I noticed this too

[Krasp28]

came here to post this as well. Took a long break from IL2 and simming in general I guess but excited to get back into things as we near Normandy release... Went to try the new Mosquito the other day and can confirm that on any runway start mission I ran the AI fires at least one salvo of rockets per plane during the takeoff roll. (It's actually sorta helpful as I'm struggling with the mosquito's ground handling and ground visibility greatly... if the AI rockets are going right over your head on takeoff you're going the right direction lol) 

 

At first I thought this might be a mosquito specific bug but can confirm it happened with P47's as well; haven't tried with any other types yet. 

 

Another weird thing I noticed w/ AI and rockets is that if your AI wingmates are equipped with rockets and you give them an order to patrol for air targets they immediately fire off the rockets. I assume this is some sort of 'jettison the air to ground ordinance in air combat' logic, but the execution is a little weird.

Need a mission or track.

Will update tonight when I'm home from work, thanks

Quick video demonstrating both weird rocket traits mentioned above (and some bad formation flying from the AI):

 

It seems that the replay doesn't capture the audio but I gave my flight the command "Patrol the area" (LAlt+6 default) when I turned on to those FW190's and that's when they fired their remaining rockets. This makes it difficult to complete an air to ground sortie if you engage in any air to air combat on the way to the primary objective.

Great, I see you have a track, give it to me for analysis.

It's the exact same issue reported here and occurs with any plane fitted with rockets:

Easiest repro method:

1. Quick Mission Builder, select a skirmish mission

2. Select any plane that can carry rockets and outfit it with them

3. Set number of planes per flight > 1

4. Set the mission to start from the runway

5. Start the mission

I have a Spit Mkxie with rockets that does not fire on take off it seems ... mission sent in PM to -DED-Rapidus for another missing HUD reason.

Oh? I tried with IL-2 and P47 and both did fire rockets.

Sorry wasn't sure where to find the track at first, was too big to upload directly so I put it in my google drive:

Thanks for your reports, guys, we found a problem ( launching rockets at launch), we will try not to miss it in the next issue, but with missile launches when giving commands to attack air targets, we will still study, you sent a track without a folder with the same name.

I too have experienced this with P-40's on takeoff.  Each plane with Russian rockets will fire one rocket on takeoff.
