I'm attempting a CSAR night mission with 2 wing-men loaded with AGM-65Ds and CBU-97s. We can get the SARDOT pretty clear with the exception of a single convoy of about a dozen vehicles including 2 SA-8s and a ZSU. It's night and trying to ID then plink the AA threats takes too much time and the pilot is captured.

 

Question:

 

How can I command my wing-men to carpet bomb the entire convoy using the CBUs rather than deal with individual targets? Vaicom seems to restrict commands referencing a SPI to individual vehicles which makes the use of CBUs rather inefficient. Does anyone have a technique for bombing a group of vehicles rather than individuals? Many thanks in advance!

If the convoy is part of your mission objectives, “engage complete and rejoin” should work, if not “engage ground targets”

That was helpful Speed. Since the only SAM and ZSU units are in the the eastern and western convoys, the "engage AAA" command is specific for those groups. Unfortunately a T55 sneaked in after pilot recovery and nailed the helo before I could line him up for a gun run but the mission flow feels right now. Thanks for the help!
