[Possible Bug] No Bullets coming out of turrets, not damaging enemies
Hey is anyone else experiencing a bug where the gunners are firing their turrets but they're not doing any damage? There's muzzle flash but there's no bullets coming out, which I'm guessing why no damage is being done.

Its happenned on when I fought the very last ace. Everytime the health got low suddenly bug occurs. I got around it by taking him down quickly. Second time now is the one to Vienna. It seemed like bug occurs after I drope bomb.

Other info: Turrets are manned. Bullets are being used up (i.e. they run out of ammo)

Same thing happened to me every time i tried to do the "Submarine Pens at Bremen" mission. The AI did respond to deffencive fire but none of my turrets were actually firing or doing damage

It's happening to me when I play "food drop at Gouda".
You get ganged up by 6 Me262s. They shred the plane and there's nothing you can do about it. It's game breaking.

It happened to me once, where I could hear the bullets but not see them. Not sure about damage tho.

Happened to me as well. After landing the next mission it was working again.

happened to me as well. i played through the campaign once with no problems but after starting a new game as soon as i use any sort of special ammo(incindiary, ap or he) the skill will work but as soon as it's finished all guns on the plane break in that they continue to fire and use ammo but no bullets come out and enemy planes take no damage. this is very game breaking and should be a top priority for the dev to fix.

Same happened to me, ONLY seems to happen when I have Jet Fighters on my tail. Really game breaking...had to just restart the same mission over and over and over again waiting for it to NOT happen.

The guns are firing but they're not firing at enemies, and also the velocity or something is messed up because the tracer gets SUPER stretched. This affects not only all your turrets, but it also affects spitfire guns.

https://i.imgur.com/1WO7PhT.jpg You can see here both my turret and a spitfire are shooting god knows where.

it's something to do with AI jets/me262s, it happened on the Photograph D-Day mission where you get sprung by 6 fighters and then a few random jets (and one schrage musik fighter which due to the bug will 100% kill you), and anothr random mission where a jet ace showed up.

There's nothing you can do against it due to it affecting both your turrets AND spitfire guns, just have to spam corkscrew+evade flak and hope you can get home.

If it was a case of guns not firing, I would say that it was because of untagged jets/long range fighters & damaged/inoperable radar. Since they're firing, I've no idea. This bug hasn't happened to me yet.

Ok nevermind, it happened to me too at the worst of times.

I've been shooting at that Ace for 10 minutes without damaging him. No bullets are coming out, or they are coming out at a weird angle with no chance of hitting the Ace. Only thing I did differently to usual was click Abort mission (a loooooooong time ago) when I realised it was going FUBAR.

Also if you look at the screenshot, I have 0 xp. So entire mission my crew and the spitfire spam has scored 0 kills... unlikely!


Could it be a bug related with Kaiser von Dusen?
If you look at the guy above me, that's who he is fighting.
When the bug happened to me, it was a Kaiser Von Dusen mission.

I've managed to kill all the aces without this bug but... i did the 'food drop at Gouda' and once the Jets bounced me after dropping the food, somewhere along the line the guns just stopped doing damage when firing.
Thahat Oct 23, 2017 @ 11:21am 
yep, had the bug a few times, only seems to hapepn when jets are around (both the normal ones, and the last ace)
Charanis Oct 23, 2017 @ 11:39am 
I also had this bug twice now, when facing the Ace with the jet.

So based off what I see here it would seem we can come to the conclusion that jets are somehow causing this bug to occur. Hopefully this can get fixed quickly since it makes jets even more annoying then they already are.
Thahat Oct 23, 2017 @ 3:28pm 
aditionally, i think it has to do with the corkscrew manouvre? it seems to trigger the bug when i do that. anyone else notice this?
IAmSquidget Oct 23, 2017 @ 8:37pm 
I've seen it happen without using corkscrew. It has happened multiple times to me, and does seem to be related to 1) jets and 2) special ammo.
IAmSquidget Oct 23, 2017 @ 8:45pm 
Just retested, which is easy to do it happens every single time on my current mission. No special ammo, no manuevers. Guns just stop working at some point when I see jets.

Since this is campaign mission 7, and it happens 100% of the time (4 attempts), my campaign is stuck. I can't possibly pass it, so I guess I'll just have to abort and hope the bug goes away.

Suck.
