AI bombing strangness.

[Wingnutt270]

I took a break from a bit and came back so I'm a bit rusty, but I used to be able to get the mission editor to do what I wanted pretty well, but I'm having an odd issue with bomber commands.

 

Scenario:

Set B52 with Mk82s,

takeoff, 2 way-points gaining altitude towards target.

way-point 3 add carpet bombing or any sort of ground attack bombing command, dosent matter.

 

 

Issues: first off despite setting the bombing command on way-point 3, it shows it from way-point 0 (takeoff) I can delete it and redo it over and over to no avail it just goes back to way-point 0

 

no matter what I try the result is the same, the bomber arrives at the bombing way-point and then turns for home, does nothing.

 

 

Ive tried:

making sure the bomber has enough distance to get setup for the run.

switching the ordnance from AUTO to iron bombs.

tried switching to a B1B.

 

no change no matter what.

 

 

see attached demo mission.

 

I feel like i'm just forgetting or missing something, its been a while.

Hi,

 

 

For testing :

Deleted all - except B52 and one target

 

Add the task at waypoint 3 for bombing

 

### Edit : You set the bombing task at waypoint 0

Read my post, I didn't set it to waypoint 0, it just goes to waypoint 0 when I add it to waypoint 3, or any other waypoint. That's the main issue, I add the bombing task to waypoint 3 and as soon as I apply it it goes to waypoint 0. :huh:

I might be mistaken here, but I think that carpet bombing only works with WW2 planes.

 

Try regular bombing (it always works for me), see if the problem persists.
