Another possible combat bug in v1.35 (weapon platforms)

With all this new stacking allowed, has anybody checked to see if ECM III stacks with ECM II and ECM I ???

They do not stack with each other...
I suppose it's component family related, ie components in same family do not stack with each other.

I think it related to the vehicle file modifiers and units being stracked in the same space.
There are only a few types of units that can be in the same space, fighters, WP, mines and sats I think. It would be interesting to see what would happen if you gave offense plus and defense plus to a sat in the vehicle file. Would you have similiar weirdness happening?

Components are working almost the way they should (the way i think they should work). Only problem with components is in Groups where all the members of the group use the best component ability that the group has. I was talking of components in my previous post...

Yes.. i think this bug/feature concerns all units (weapon platforms,fighters,satellites,troops etc...).
Though the only one that suffers from this bug/feature in basic game are the fighters since they are the only ones that have combat modifiers from VehicleSize.txt file...

Does this also affects troops?

VehicleSize.txt file bug/feature no, because troops dont have any combat modifiers from there. Component bug/feature.. maybe, it's pretty hard to check because you cant see their modifiers during ground combat...
