Bear Trap Mission 8

[JAS500]

I've flown mission 8 several times (Command and Control Strike) and managed to shoot down all six Russian jets but the strikers (F-15Es) only drop one GBU on each target and don't destroy it. They don't re-attack even though they still have ordnance remaining. What am I missing?

Unfortunately, SEAD and bombing sites with active defenses seem to be problematic for AI flights.

After about 10 experiences very similar to yours, I decided I'd had about enough and just played the next mission outside of campaign mode.

To do this, click the missions button, click flaming cliffs (or f-15 if you have the standalone module) and then click the folder with three dots at the top of the list to go to the parent folder; you should now see a folder called

'campaigns.' Open that folder and you'll see the individual mission files for the F-15 campaign (as well as a slew of other stuff if you have FC3)

I played this mission and had problem, too. The F-15E flights could always bomb the target. But that building was too tough to kill. I changed bomber's weapons in the mission editor from normal GBU to penetration GBU. Then it worked.
