Extra Missile Launched After Kill

I've had both Air and Land targets get two more missiles fired right when they are destroyed by a previous salvo of same. The Engage AI is burning up extra ammo when set to auto-engage like this. Thus far I've seen it with Tomahawks and ESSMs from the DDG in tutorial #3 and may be an issue with the others.

Interesting. I've seen a re-engage when the first pair misses and even a single missile launched when the first of a pair misses but before the second in that pair destroys the target. Never seen a pair launched prior to the preceding pair missing, though.

BTW, HOLD FIRE is a good option if you want more granular control of attacks. The AI will not fire but you can still manually assign attacks as normal.

All the buildings were struck and killed in the first volley. Whether the first missile had missed (before the second struck), I have no idea but it didn't wait to see if the second missile achieved a kill before sending a couple more. They first salvo had been launched at the pretty much the same time, so maybe it just didn't wait to see if they were all effective before re-engaging.

I will load it up and see if it happens again.

Two more playthroughs from a save point right in front didn't do the same thing. No additional missiles were fired at dead targets. *shrug* It definitely happened the first time around. Just some freak decision?
