AI unable to employ Mavericks, HOBOS, LGBs, rockets

[Starfire13]

At the moment, AI F-4s will not fire Mavericks, HOBOS, or LGBs. The AI very rarely fire the occasional rocket (after multiple passes without firing), but cannot use them effectively.

Strange to see no reply to this. Absolutely reproduced on my end. Any comments or updates?

It has already been reported in another thread

Well, I didn't receive any official reply to this one either - it also isn't marked as reported and none of the tracks appear to have been looked at:

It has been tracked on our end, thanks.

Someone will eventually investigate and see if there is something on our end that can be done or not :)

As @Zabuzard stated, the error was tracked to HB's end.
However, what I would like to make you pay attention to is that sometimes it is an error on the mission itself. If you are playing the Instant Action or Missions that come with DCS, be aware that they sometimes present some errors. It is very common that the mission author forgot to  assign targets for your flight, thus the AI wingman doesn't know what to attack. I have found this type of error in F/A-18 and Apache missions.

In multithread and single player mission editör that i created I tried with dump bombs and agm 12 bulpup loaded AI with F4.  And AI wingman dont drop any ordanence on main target only drops dump boms and agm12 to aır defences .

I tried same scenario with two F16 wıth gbu24 loaded and AI wıngman drop all of them on the mıssıon target as ı ordered to do him.

Thanks. I was testing this in my own campaign missions, and targets are definitely assigned. It works fine once weapons are swapped. It is specific weapons that do not work.

This problem was reported and there is no solution, this is one of the reasons why I still haven't bought the F-4, any response from the developer?

[Tomcatter87]

It would be really great if Heatblur could fix this. Other AI planes use the Maverick without problems.

[Typhonus2]

I'm having the same thing. Flying the exact same mission repeatedly. AI will attack with iron bombs. Will not with HOBO, not matter what settings I use.

[Tomcatter87]

Could someone from the Heatblur team please acknowledge this? @IronMike

[Zabuzard]

As stated earlier in the thread, AI issues with weapons are known and tracked. We will investigate and eventually fix them, thanks.

I can add to this that although the AI drops the Mk20 Rockeye they drop them consistently short like 100 m.
