[49.5] Vehicle Lance Movement prevents full deployment of turrets

[gsparks3]

Description

If the TacOps Vehicle Lance Movement game option is active, and a player attempts to deploy turrets at the beginning of the game, only a fraction of the turrets will successfully be deployed. The fraction seems to be related to the number chosen for "number of vehicles in a lance", e.g. if it is 4, only 1/4 turrets can be deployed, while if it is 2 then 1/2 of the turrets can be deployed.

Sometimes, in our campaign games, more turrets have become deployable later in the game, but I am uncertain of the cause of this. Possibly it is related to the previously deployed turrets being destroyed.

Reproduction steps:

1. Open the Megamek lobby and reset Game Options to defaults, then change Allowed Tech Level so turrets are available and activate TacOps Vehicle Lance Movement.
2. Add a number of turrets using the Unit Selector (I used 8 MG turrets).
3. Select a map with buildings to deploy the turrets on and Start Game.
4. Attempt to deploy all turrets. The game will end the deployment phase after a certain number of turrets have been deployed, but before all turrets have been deployed, and move to the next phase. No error appears in any of the logs.

Indeed I've had the same issue with 49.19. Can't say it's related to Vehicule LAnce moement though it WAS activated and the symptoms sounds exactly like the OP. 4 turrets, only 1 deployed; 8 turrets planned, 2 deployed. Then later again the same number, inexplicably as part of later deployement from MY units.
