Viggens AI

[Joni]

How do I do to make 2 AI Viggens to fire all their missiles to a specific ship?

 

They always fire 1 and wait until it hits before firing the next one.

 

 

Thanks.

With the default tasks the AI tend to only use enough weapons to destroy a target. So it is a combination of the targets HP and how much damage the weapon can do. You can override it with Attack unit and engage unit tasking as those have options that allow you to specify how many shots the flight will take. Specifically you have to specify a weapon type and select quantity.

Thanks Grimes!! Somehow I only saw the attack group option but not the attack unit.

 

 

Thanks thanks!

Any tip on how to make restrict jettison to work?

[Grimes]

Set options and commands on their waypoint tasks on the first waypoint before any other tasks.

If you leave the weapon choice set to "AUTO", AI will usually only fire one missile or drop one bomb. Choose the actual weapon you want employed and then below that choose "ALL"

I can't get this to work with the Viggen.

I set up a single AI Viggen with 2 RB04E (the AI variant).

Then I remove the default Anit-Ship task.

40 km from target (a Grisha) I have a waypoint (WP1) with:

Perform Task / Attack Unit

UNIT: "the Grisha"

WEAPON: --Antiship missiles (or ASM)

REL QTY: All

I also set the next waypoint (WP2) 20 km closer to the target so the Viggen will head against it.

When the Viggen reaches WP2 no missiles have been shot and the Viggen heads for the next waypoint.

Maybe try making the Grisha its own "Group" and "Attack Group" ?

 

Does it work 1 on 1 with one jet and one Grisha as a group?

Still doesn't work for me. I've tried to remove and add the Viggen unit.

I've also tried with different targets types (Grisha, Tanker, Civil ship). No joy.

I have left the Anti-ship default task. I've tried to set Perform Task / Attack Group or Attack Unit. Also tried the different tasks in "Start Enroute Task". Nothing works when using RB04E.

I've managed to get it to work with RB75 though.

I suspect that it is the RB04E (the AI version) that doesn't work with AI Viggens.

 

Have you got it to work with RB04E? You think you can attach a simple mission for either Caucasus or Normandy where it actually works for you.

Thanks Piston85! It worked for me as well when using your mission. I could even add more Viggens loaded with either RB15 or RB04 and the missiles were fired away as they were supposed to. Unfortunately I couldn't figure out why it works in your mission but not in my own. I will investigate more tomorrow.

Anyway, thanks for your effort.

The problem I had seemed to be related to moving ship targets and also if I air-started the AI Viggen too close to the IP.
