How to launch Silkworm

[baksie]

How do you set up silkworm to launch against ships ?

I have put Silk Radar and missle with even a truck and given it a task to attack ship but it won't fire.

 

Any help?

Check launcher position, i think in ME is backwards - so turn it at 180

I had the position correct after I noticed same. But it still doesn't fire.

 

Any ideas ?

Make sure that the ship is in radar range - you can add an AWACS (for testing), it will detect the target faster.

Test it first at close range - if still not working, then maybe is a bug, i don't know

Well i tried all kind of ranges, AWACS etc. No luck. I guess I have to figure out a different mission.

See attached missions as examlple, one without AWACS and one with.

 

Without AWACS - Silkworm will fire after 1 minute - 1minute and 30 seconds (in this case, you can put radar on a higher ground)

 

With AWACS - Silkworm will fire after 40 seconds

 

They need time to lock target, so be patient. Also, if target is below horizon,and you don't have AWACS, i don't think they will fire.

Thanks. I finally noticed my mistake. They were not in the same group. Now it works!
