Ships firing anti-ship missiles don't obey release and max attack quantities


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Found a bug with the ships in DCS that I couldn't see reported before. Very simply, when firing anti-ship missiles, ships don't obey release quantities nor do they obey max attack quantities.

In the track below I've got a La Combattante IIa that is set-up to attack a Krivak II. I want the La Combattante IIa to fire a single missile at the Krivak II. To do this I've set the release quantity of anti-ship missiles to 1, and the max attack quantity 1, i.e; make 1 attack, firing a single missile.

Instead it keeps firing missiles until the Krivak II has sunk/been destroyed. Firing 2 salvos of 2 missiles each (with 25 seconds between each missile, and the 2nd salvo firing after the missiles of the first salvo have hit).

It gets especially bad when you have a ship with lots of missiles firing against a smaller ship, or when firing against a ship that can't really defend itself, that doesn't require lots of missiles to sink - in both cases it leads to them being pretty wasteful with the missiles.

Spoiler

In addition, they also doesn't obey the 'attack from' setting which allows you to specify a direction from which to conduct an attack. The saving grace here is that offensive manoeuvring has been implemented, meaning ships will turn if a target is outside their firing arcs.

I'm talking about mission editor controls for advanced waypoint actions. Though yes, looks like the same thing applies to combined arms.

It works fine for "Fire at Point" (i.e at a land based target), it doesn't for "Attack Group" (which allows you to specify a naval target).

I gotchu, may bad. 

No worries, the issues might be related - it just seems we're describing 2 different (but similar) problems.
