Disco Reconnect - Secondary Weapons

[MachNix]

Experienced a disco and could not select external stores (drop tank) after the reconnect.   

Aircraft: F4U1A with 75% plus DT

The reconnection seemed to work okay.  After reentering the LWA went to the normal starting field.  After a second jumped to the CV I had launched from and then to the aircraft which was exactly like launching from an air spawn -- engine starts and gear goes up automatically.  Then there is a few seconds of disorientation while getting the situational awareness back and the dots their icons.  A few minuets latter going into a fight I hit backspace to select the DT and pushed the bomb release button but did not get the sound of the DT releasing and the secondary guns did not fire.  The secondary weapons display still showed guns.  I hit the backspace two more times but guns still showed in the display.  I did push the bomb release button again but nothing happened -- no sound of the DT releasing and the secondary guns did not fire.  A squaddy reported I still had the tank.  I hit the backspace again to what should have been back to the secondary guns.   From there things where busy and I don't know if the secondary guns where firing when I pulled the trigger.

Time in LWA arena before disco: 40 minuets
Time to return: 2 minuets

I was NOE and got back in after a disco to find my bombers far above NOE altitude but almost anything is better than losing the buffs you had already invested 2 hours in flying.

You plane goes into a slight climb when you disco and return, supposed to be that way.

Probably a good idea.

I'm cool with how it is now unless it causes me to lose the ability to drop bombs after 2 hours of flight.
