Bug bombing in Mission 7 or it's me ?

[pbt31]

Hello,
Problem with mission 7 : I've tried the mission 3 times, the GBU31 systematically misses the target. I've checked the MGRS and Lat,Lon coordinates, the parameters to be modified for the bomb, everything is ok but the bomb always misses !
Am I the problem? I've watched a YouTube video (https://youtu.be/WY93s1R1_38?si=U0OgX_3hV7Id761e) and I don't see any difference with my parameters and the mission control.
I'd like to know if anyone is experiencing this problem... it would reassure me!

Thanks

Just had the same problem, also the mission asks for 1 sec delay but I can set maximum 240ms

Edit: just checked tacview and I hit the target perfectly, but still I got the message that I didn't

And exactly the same problem with the eastern tank in mission 8 ! ??

With M07 - I have no idea what happens and I can't find a fix for that no matter what I do. Though the important part is that the mission progresses and the attack is just a prelude to something else. 

Now two general notes about the TacView: for scripted campaigns I would advise against using it too much. First of all, it is known to mess up the AI system and some triggers, I had numerous reports of mission not progressing with TacView ticked ON in options and working normally without it for some people.

Secondly, in scripted campaigns and due to immense AI stupidity sometimes we as mission makers have to use different tricks, like despawning units and spawning new ones, making some invulnerable or exploding others just in case AI misses etc. So if you start analyzing what happened you are likely to find inconsistencies that in fact are there to make the mission playable / enjoyable and in line with the storyline... so just my 2 cents on that.

Coming back to the M7 target - a known bug that I cannot fix and am not even sure why it happens as everything is set up properly, so don't worry.
As for the tank in M8 - are you sure it was your target? Maybe it wasn't and was set to invulnerable for some reason... see above

Thanks for your detailed reply. I will try effectively without Tacview. Now I have finished this fabulous campaign without other problem, and I am trying Artic Thunder - the F16 version ;-).

After I must plan to learn F18 one day or another !

In any case, thank you for your work on all these really well-realized and captivating campaigns!
