B-1's do not attack target.

[Exorcet]

I'm testing a mission that includes a bomb run by two B-1's. I've already tried moving the waypoints and target zones around

 

Waypoints:

Before/on target: no result

After target: the second B-1 dropped 1 AGM-154 (out of 12) before flying back, the first B-1 did nothing.

 

Target zone:

Large, attack "static objects": the same as After target above

5m radius, placed on targets individually with "attack point" setting: nothing

 

I also tried changing loadout and attack plan. Original was fly low with AGM-154's, then I tried flying high with AGM's (to use their standoff range), the B-1's flew into the S-300. Now I have them set to use Mk-82, and they do nothing.

 

Here is the mission, any help welcomed.

 

This isn't the only instance, many times, the AI refuses to attack unless under ideal conditions. Example, I can launch a B-1 to strike Mineral with 100% success on an empty map, but flying a mission with the same waypoints, etc leads to the plane flying to the target and doing nothing.

Fixed it for you. Please see the GUI Manual for an explanation on how to set-up attack points. Note, I only loaded them with 8 AGMs each, but you can load up to 12. Also, the geographic coordinates in the ME are somewhat off from in-game, so some of the missiles miss the target, but this can be adjusted on the map. Given that these are cruise missiles, you can also begin the attack much further back.

Thanks a lot, I'm checking the new mission now. And the PDF.

Could anyone please explain how to do this? I've read carefully the GUI manual but I'm having the same problem: I need to program a long-range cruise missile barrage and the B-1 doesn't do anything, just flies towards the S-300 until it's shot down.
