VMF-251 Frame 3 issues
« on: June 21, 2008, 12:38:02 AM »
Hey CM guys, just to give you a heads up, VMF-251 had a little trouble in Frame 3

First, someone had a minor malfunction with their gun when we spawned in aircraft after the fleet battle, which accounts for the re-up. Soon as the Event Logs are working and we can find out who it is, I'll make sure he's thoroughly ribbed over it.

Second, we had a MAJOR issue in the fleet battle. About a couple minutes after the first shots were fired most if not all my guys' guns would not traverse at all. They could still fire them but literally could not aim. Additionally, the guns WERE working fine up until that point. It also appeared to have struck everyone affected at once, so I don't think it was someone inadvertently changing their Control Mode. Tried toggling between AAA and Surface mode but that did not resolve, and we couldn't tower and re-up. This was also first reported to me BEFORE any ships were hit.

I mentioned it to Sled in-frame who offered to check into allowing us to re-log, but by the time that suggestion was made the whole TG was down. I just wanted to note it here as well and also advise that at least one of the squad got the situation on film.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Sent him an e-mail. Soon as I've got it I'll forward it to you, what address should I use?
