gregfp66 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Hello i'm trying to make f-14 ai to launch TALD at sam but cant find a way to do it. Is it possible and if so, how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeGondorff Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I did it recently (2 or 3 weeks ago) just to see if I could, and I think I even got the AI to drop all 4. I don't remember the specifics, but I recall having to specify which "bomb types" they would drop (and if I recall, it was technically an AGM). This was on the most recent Stable version, so I don't know if something changed with one of the recent OBs. Play around with the different roles and tasks and it should work. I'll see if I saved the mission where I got it to work (but I don't think I did). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregfp66 Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Thanks in advance if you find the mission again, will start fiddling with ME again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeGondorff Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I didn't find the mission, but I created a new one and it's pretty simple. I haven't played with it too much, but I got 1 AI F-14 to drop all 4 TALDs. Set the Task to Ground Attack, and set up an Advanced Waypoint Action with a Bombing Task. Weapon: -ASM REL QTY: All Attack QTY: 1 Altitude Above: 19,000 (I set the initial altitude of the Tomcat at 20k). I set up a few Hawk batteries, placed the F-14 a few miles outside their range, and set WP 1 at the border of Hawks' range. The Bombing Action was for WP 1. He dropped all 4 TALDs at WP 1 and started evading immediately after dropping them. As I mentioned, I haven't played with it much, so I haven't tried to release a decoy at separate times/waypoints, or drop when farther out or closer in, or anything like that. And again, this is on Stable, so I have no idea how it behaves in OB. Hopefully that helps a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for a way to do this and came across this information. I tried it with a SA6. They did release properly, however the SA6 did not fire upon the Decoy's. It did fire once, but it was at the F14 which was turning cold. So maybe other types of SAM sites will fire, I will test more. But this was great help!

I don't think I tried it with an SA-6, but when I played with the Hawk batteries, they had a tough time hitting all 4. I think in one of my tests one of the decoys actually hit the ground despite multiple launches against it. So (at least several months ago), the Hawk SAM system would thoroughly engage. Good luck with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
