AI Bombing

[stolzy]

I can get this working for a single aircraft, but for a group of two or more, the second aircraft either doesn't drop it's bombs at all, or drops them simultaneously with the lead aircraft (and thus missing the target).

I've tried carpet bombing with about the same result.

In the attached mission the lead aircraft drops its bombs accurately, but the second doesn't release at all.

Anyone have a clue?

See attached mission. Basically, you need to select the bombing WP and check "Group Attack".

Usually, I make the strike WP "Fly over point" type and place another WP just after, in line with the bombing path - it seems to help the AI a little...

So, run the mission, you will see first bomber drop the bombs, then the second.

Hope it helps

Hello again.

Of what i've tested here:
With and without air defences,
TU or B1 or B2 doesn't behave the same, so i can see that not all
types act/react the same.
Cruise missiles were fired from long and short distance, but with
bombs, they didn't do the same and most of the times: differenty.

What if there is a group of 4 ? The bombing doesn't happens from
all units at once. The first is bombing and the rest are follow.

Thank you.

PS: I will test with other formations and distance and i'll report back.

OK, 'Group Bombing'

Hello again.
Of what i've tested with bombs,guided etc there is no standard.
Everything varies. And need for each type to setup other setup.
I've added a wish (for DCSanta).

Merry Christmas guys.

I cannot tell you how many hours ive toiled with the tasking lol. Sadly the lack of feedback or ability to query the controller makes its very trial and error. Which is not good. I have my bombers doing what and how i need them to atm, ill send you my task struct on Discord.
