Phantom artillery shoots

No that is actually different. The math for each target has been computed and stored. The guns are not laid on target. In the silent program the math has been done and guns laid on target (one and only one target) until told to fire or switched to the next target in the program.

I know this is an ols post and I was hoping to find one dealing with this problem. I've had it happen quite a few times. Lots of ammo, no tubes turned off. It's happened to the AI as well a number of times. Unfortunately I haven't got any examples of this saved.
Any ideas why this happens in solitaire games?

Well, they're working on it (hopefully).
Have a look at:

I realize that they must be aware of the situation. The only work around that I have found is to disable the standoff weapon of the firing aircraft. Doing that prevents the "Phantom Artillery" shots. I found that there is a link between "standoff" shots and the problem with phantom artillery. Awesome game otherwise. Keep up the good work.
