GAJ52 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I have been trying a couple of the Instant Action missions for training using the A-10Cii. I have noticed when I ask my wingman to attack tanks with Missiles he normally uses the APKWS M151L rocket and not the Maverick (he has 4 loaded). How can I force my wingman to use Mavericks against tanks GAJ52 Intel i7-7700K @ 4.60GHz | 32 GB Ram | Win 10 Pro 64 | GTX 1080i 11.00MB | Saitek X52 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yurgon Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I think that's an AI limitation. It seems internally, APKWS is marked as being a missile, which is technically the proper designation (missile = guided, rocket = unguided). Naturally, the AI uses missiles against MBTs. They simply don't know that these missiles are not strong enough and weren't designed against this type of target. For the time being, I think there's not much you could do, short of waiting for the AI to expand all APKWS and then follow up with Mavericks. If you do find a way though, please let us know!

GAJ52 Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 Many thanks what you say makes sense. I hope ED looks at this and finds a way to prevent Ai using APKWS rockets on targets its not designed for i.e. Tanks or amend the radio command somehow.

EasyEB Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) When controlling the AI through scripting or waypoint settings it is possible to make them use a specific kind of missile. The problem is the wingman comms menu that won’t go into which specific kind of missile you want your wingman to use. I put some effort into making a custom menu for controlling AI aircraft in a mission I made and made it possible to select which specific unit within a group to engage with which specific weapon. It makes for some great simultaneous attacks with the ai. Edited January 6, 2022 by EasyEB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidentally, this is also why air defense will engage APKWS, but not unguided M151 rockets (or bombs, for that matter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
