how make TU22 shoot salvos?

[DLEGION]

hello

 

i'm trying a ultra simple thing, that obviously being DCS, dont seems to work.

make a group of 4 TU22m3 shoot >> a volley << of missiles to a ship, in hope to overcome its godlike defences.

 

so the point is to shoot , all at same time, all missiles on board (seems to be 3 at max).

i tried everything, even setting manually the attack quantity, but this dont work, planes shoot 1 missile each, sometimes 1 of the four TU22 dont even fire at the same moment of his comrades… mah.

 

anyone can help me on this?

thanks.

For starters, separate them into different groups, that will pretty much guarantee they act independently. Use follow or something to keep them close together and assign them individual attack commands. The simplistic AI is currently not really capable of coordinated tactical strikes of the nature you're trying for.

Not seeing a problem on my end (current stable build).

 

Here's what you need to do: Perform Task -> Attack Group/Attack Unit (pick the group/unit) -> WEAPON (select Antiship Missiles, or Guided) -> REL QTY (select as required, if you want them to fire off all their missiles, select all) and then make sure GROUP ATTACK is ticked. You should find that when in range, your group of Tu-22 fire off all of their missiles in basically 1 go, with a few seconds between each release.

 

Hope that helps!

heh, thanks for the suggestions… but for a decent realism i cant place 50 tu22 to hope they shoot 1 missiles each… and i need 50 missiles fired exactly at same moment to overcome a ship missiles and CIWS defence…

 

@northstar98 , is exactly what i did… thats why i'm quite disappointed… the options to make it work in theory are there… its just that they do not do what they are supposed to do !

 

any other workaround guys ?

ok, i found a way:

if i reamove ALL waypoints of the bombers, and just let the attack order, it works (each plane shoots all (3) missiles at once).

obviously… i need waypoints...
