d0ppler Posted October 20 Posted October 20 In this simple mission I have a AFAC MQ-9 Reaper with 16 targets. 2 of them are SA-13 Strelas, which I've specifically told the AFAC to prioritize with "FAC - Assign Group" . The AFAC just giving me random units in no particular order What am I missing? I've added the mission if you want to test. You'll reach the AFAC (Pontiac) on VHF CH1 (I think it's default), you'll be driving a viper with AGM-65s and GBU-12s jtac_afac_test.miz A-10C, AV-8B, Ka-50, F-14B, F-16C, F-5E, F/A-18C, L-39, Mi-8, MiG-21, MiG-29, SA34, Spitfire, Su-27, Su-33, UH-1H

Not sure why the "assign group" doesn't work (doesn't for me either, I'd call that a bug because it should work), but the order it's picking targets in should (haven't checked it's working currently) be controlled by the GROUP order in the mission. So if you have the SA-15's at the top of the groups in the ME it should pick them over the tank it's currently picking. Note that the ORDER priority only applies to GROUPS and not within a group (so may not prioritize unit 1 vs unit 4 within a group). Edited Tuesday at 10:59 PM by rob10

Mogs Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago In Advanced Waypoint actions you need to specify what targets you want targeted first with the FAC - Assign Group task. JTAC/AFAC will not prioritize targets based off treat level. JTAC/AFAC will mark targets listed from top to bottom with one tasking at a time.
