Set FW-190 direction of attack but always attack from 6 o' clock

[arcuspilot]

I have set an FW-190 to attack a specific B-17 in a formation using Advanced Waypoint. I've set direction of attack at different times to be from 12 o' clock and from 9 0' clock. I've sent him in towards the formation from 12 0' clock.

 

But the silly bugger just flies over the formation, circles around and then attacks from 6 o' clock.

 

I put a second FW in and he does the same thing.

 

I used a Perform Task command at the very first waypoint ie 0 (there are two, 0 and 1)

 

Is there something I'm missing?

 

Thank you for your time

Have you deleted the default "CAP" tasking?

Thank you for the fast reply, feefifofum.

 

I have the tasking set to "Intercept".

 

What I'm after is a few FW's circling and harassing the fort's until either the fort's or the player and wingman shoot them down. I'd like them to ignore the player too - basically they're "sitting ducks".

 

I've attached a link to my Dropbox with the mission.

 

I've set all FW's in their Advance Waypoints to have Option-Reaction To Threat-No Reaction so they should basically just keep attacking the single fort in the formation I want the player to protect. But even then, they still engage the player...

 

For one of them, the 12 o' clock FW, I've even give him multiple waypoints, each with a Perform Task of Attack Unit, specifying the one bomber. i even set his intelligence level to Expert so that he'd stay on mission...

 

Is there anything else I can do that you can think of?

Thanks very much for your time

Sorry, that was my only idea. :dunno:

If they had been CAP planes the default CAP task would have overridden your other settings but it sounds like everything is set up properly.

 

You can double check ROE is set to ONLY DESIGNATED but that should be the default behavior.
