Subject description: Specifically, when spawned using Boris Airstrike logic

Hi guys, I'm going through my personal mod and cleaning up some odd bits and bobs (I might even consider releasing it if I can fix some things... kind of exciting!), and I came across this issue which I'm surprised I haven't really run into much until now (or just never noticed).

I know AircraftTypes spawning with 1 extra ammo is a bug that's been in the game since RA2 1.0, but it's always been pretty rare for me. For whatever reason, I rigged up a tank to use Boris' airstrike logic and the aircraft it summons seems to come with an extra bomb at least 1 out of every 10 times.

Does anyone know if there's a fix for this or do we just have to live with it? I did some google surfing but didn't find much, and a quick dive through the Ares documentation didn't turn up any magical fixes either.

Any thoughts?

It's said that when it stands still it won't reduce ammo. So maybe increase the Speed= and add DeaccelerationFactor= so that it less likely stands still in air since speed can not be immediately reduced to 0.
Not tested.

Honestly never seen an aircraft spawn with extra ammo. They sometimes fire an extra shot, but they don't actually have extra ammo. To that issue at least there is no fix I don't believe.

Nope, you're absolutely right, my bad. It's failing to deplete ammo that's the issue, I'm just a dummy and forgot. Thanks for the tip cxtian, that should set me in the right direction to figure out what the deal is with my fighter.

Thanks guys!

IIRC increasing the ROF fixed this bug for me.
