1,000 [HINON] Carrier_Lexington [HINON] Members 4,023 posts 5,071 battles Report post #1 Posted August 2, 2016 Hi there! I've been experiencing a bug where sometimes, when I have planes selected and the plane waypoint marker is showing, the game decides that, say, right into battle with enemy cruisers is where the CARRIER, not the Dive Bombers, wants to go. It's setting ship waypoints instead of plane waypoints, which causes time-consuming and plan-interrupting manual resets of the waypoints. I've experienced this on both Windows and Mac. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes takes a double click on the aircraft control icon to get the waypoint cursor to switch back and forth between selections, CV to AC, and even on occasion AC to AC. Yeah, not sure if it's a gameside issue or just me. Interesting to know others seem to be experiencing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I play Carriers and never use waypoints - I steer manually at all times. It is necessary to do so to react immediately to changing threats. I find I have enough time to manage my plane load outs, as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just clicked it to see what happened, and it's stayed clicked ever since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
97 hiroshi_tea Members 426 posts 2,869 battles Report post #11 Posted August 8, 2016 If you right click on screen, that will deselect your current selection. If you have the cv icon locked, doing the right click will deselect your selection and auto select your cv. If it's not locked then nothing will be selected and any further left clicks will not send your cv to certain doom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
