F18 AI & 88 HARM

[dr_hippo]

Hi all,

 

I am trying to setup a F18 loaded with HARMS to eliminate a SAM 10 site.

The SA10 site is placed in the valley behind the dam in the caucasus map.

 

The AI is configured as SEAD.

I have tried on low middle and High Altitude.At a ceratin moment when the AI comes close to the SAM site he does a jettission all.

 

I was ones able to st him up and hi fired 2 HARMS of the 4.

He never did that again.

 

So my question is easy, how to setup the F18 AI to attack a SAM SA10 site?

 

Thanx

A group with main TASK of SEAD will engage any AD units it detects, regardless of other waypoint target assignments. Any air group will also abort its mission under certain threat conditions. So try this:

 

 

Set group's main TASK as NOTHING, PINPOINT STRIKE or maybe GROUND ATTACK.

Load it only with the weapon you wish it to use

Set REACTION TO THREAT to NO REACTION

Set waypoint PERFORM TASK to ATTACK GROUP and set weapon parameters.

DCS AI is pretty shit at the moment. You need to manually "tell it to not brown his pants." Click the F-18 unit, go to advanced and add the following Set Options:

Restrict Jettison, Reaction to Threat Evade.

 

In the list there should be already a Start enroute task > SEAD-a

If not, you can add Start enroute Task > Sead
