Why will this AI B-1B not bomb?

[Hoggorm]

I've set up a B-1B that I was hoping should bomb a train station. For some reason it just flies via the waypoints, never fly over the target and not releasing its bombs.

 

Can you see what is wrong?

Did about the same as your screenshot (armed B1B with Mk84) and it worked

Thank you. That was strange...

Try and add some more distance between your waypoints and the target.

 

iirc it's best to place (in your case) waypoint 2 ±25nm away from the target and waypoint 3 ±10nm in line behind the target. This helped me before in some missions. Not sure if this still helps though.

Seems unlikely here with those low altitudes I am seeing on the screenshots but for me the altitude was the issue at some point. I ran into that recently. It was set to 28.000ft but when it reached the bombing waypoint it was not up there yet. It did circle back to go for its bombing run once it did hit hit the altitude.

Thank you all for suggestions!

 

I found the problem. I wanted to drop all bombs in one run so I selected -Bombs in the Weapon selection box. This was not correct for the Mk-84 bomb. Correct Weapon should be -Unguided. When this was selected the bomb fell. However, they missed because of the wind I had added (!). Somewhat strange that they do not account for wind when bombing, but fair enough. I can correct that at least.
