JTAC AFAC will not prioritize SAMs or AAA

[d0ppler]

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

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).

Thanks for your reply. What do you mean by having a group at the top? The group with the lowest UNIT ID?
