reported earlier H-6J bomber does not engage ships with any weapon

[meltingSnowdrift]

Procedure to reproduce

Create and run mission files in which an H-6J aircraft attempts in any way to engage any type of ship with any weapons. Alternately, run the attached mission file. In the attached mission file, an H-6J is specifically instructed to engage a Seawise Giant ship while loaded with every type of weapon it can carry.

 

Expected behaviour

The aircraft should launch a weapon at the ship for at least some combinations of available weapons and target ship types. When running the attached mission file, the aircraft should eventually launch at least one weapon of some type at the ship.

 

Actual behaviour

The aircraft turns toward the ship to conduct an attack run. It continues toward the ship until it nearly overflies the ship. It then turns away from the ship, flies some distance away, and then turns toward the ship again for another attack run without releasing weapons. This process repeats multiple times. See the attached track file.

H-6J bombers are currently unable to launch YJ-12 / YJ-83 missiles. This bug has been reported internally.

Considering the loadout I used for the tests reported here, they appear to also be incapable of dropping unguided bombs on ships.

Bombs do work.
