Module calibration resetting

apartclassic's Photo apartclassic 07 Apr 2021

Just a headsup from Discord. Apparently there's a thing about it, you might want to check/verify your planes from time to time:

 

Today I've noticed one very unpleasant thing.
Players mentioned it on ru forums as happening occasionally to them:
Your random equipment loses its calibration to a random number.
[16:47]
I've found my Spit's gunsight is at 400. 478 is long gone.
[16:48]
will have to check all my planes now, and make hundreds of screenshots for future claims.

 

checked now experimental modules of period III: gunsight became 410, GOA became 424. Were 478 before.

 

holy [edited]! I've checked now - I have ZERO gunsights calibrated to 478!!!

 

Personally, I haven't noticed this - but I wasn't paying attention. It is possible it did happen in my case as well, it's just so unexpected - this data being stored purely on server and thus supposedly immune to any random changes - that the thought never crossed my mind. Alas, WoWP....

Scarry stuff. Would be the nastiest of all the bugs so far.

Holly crap! I've lost my 478 guns on Me 210, XP-75 and Twin Mustang E, all now down to 400.

 

Too irritated to investigate further planes right now, but this is a thing.

I started checking my planes, and yes indeed, modules reverted in quite a few cases. Mostly affecting gunsights and Gas Operated Action module, it seems.

Thank you for the report. I've sent this information to the team for investigation. :honoring:

Thank you blindfold, hopefully something can be done about it - though I suspect, having taken the intial info from russian forum, that the issue is already known. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I never calibrated anything ... don't like the lottery.  But I feel your pain  :(

Really apartclassic is right. I checked my hangar and the caliber was reduced. More rarely used planes. Corrugated?

I've didn't have any modules fully calibrated, but I've had several ultimate ones calibrated to a certain degree. Now, I could not remember the values they were at, but I just wanted to see if they maybe were down to 400. They're not. But I have noticed something interesting. Many of them were at level 404 and 440. Too many to be a coincidence. Perhaps that's just how the calibration works, working within certain calibration thresholds rather than being fully randomized, and I've just never noticed this before. Anyway, I'm just gonna leave it here, in case I might be relevant.

Hello. Has the team investigated the matter yet? If so, what are the results of the investigation. I am very interested in this because in my case the calibration decreased in 76 pieces of equipment.
