Balloon defenses not shooting - 10/20/19 08:57 PM
At least on two occasions in PE I have encountered a bug where enemy anti-air around observation balloons doesn't shoot.
First time I was doing a balloon busting mission and the AA around target balloon didn't shoot at all. During the same mission I attacked another balloon: the AA didn't fire and additionally the Ball was indestructible, it didn't take any damage despite several passes and hundreds of hits.
The second times I was doing a balloon defense missions and afterwards head into enemy territory to destroy a balloon (the same one that had been the destructible one in the previous example). Again the AA was not firing and the balloon was indestructible.
The flight AI pilots don't react to the indestructible balloons like they normally would, they just ignore them. Air field and other AA still seems to be working just fine both near the home field and over enemy territory.
I added a picture with the rough area of the two balloons in question marked with red. Date is February 1917.
