requested How do I bomb a building or military asset? (Static Objects)

title says it all.  we have a ground pounder mission, but no infrastructure.  I tried to create an anti-ship mission with only two cargo boats, and it created the two cargo boats and a frigate!

This thing is so simplistic that with the load times, it's easier to just create a quick and dirty ME mission.  Doubly-so using templates.  This way at least you can load the scripts that make DCS halfway playable in a COMBAT role.

Not sure what you mean?

My understanding - and I'd love to see it implemented too - is that he's asking for a way for the QAG to generate missions where the target is a building or bridge, etc, not a unit or number of units. A category that offered bridges, buildings on ports or aerodromes, and runways themselves, would be a nice feature.

Hi, you save the mission and edit it with the DCS mission editor. The mission is saved in missions like MG.

It appears that if you add artillery units as targets, you get a factory building. Don´t know why. I think I picked Smerchs or Danas and the mission spawned a factory at the target marker each time.

I think conceptually it's a good idea - & perhaps a good start at that idea (is it easing in tech developed for the campaign mode?).

At the moment it's a 'simple mission generator' rather than a 'quick mission generator' as (I timed it) it took me 6:28 to make a mission with a couple of targets, some AAA & some ground troops & set a loadout, and 11:05 to replicate that in the QMG (probably 2/3 of that waiting for the mission to generate)

As the OP said, one thing that seems to be missing is the ability to add 'structures' from the static objects list

That said, I do like how it always throws in a large building for A2G missions so you can find the targets without a full briefing

I have requested. for consideration, the ability to add Static Objects separately for missions where it makes sense. Thanks!
