Pre-Distance Required Before Attack Point on Map

[Buckster]

Any help much appreciated please

 

basically trying to get aircraft to attack ground units - CAS seems to work most of the time (not all of the time mind !!) - but struggling with Ground Attack

 

ok so say select a Tornado GR3, select ground attack, - hes a reasonable distance away to start with etc etc

 

he just flies over target - makes a turn and doesn't do anything ?

 

the auto-generated Bombing is there in the Advanced Waypoint - and the aircraft is loaded up with bombs - any ideas ?

 

also its rather annoying that if you select a type of Mission that that aircraft can't do - it will default to another aircraft...why not just allow you to select from those missions it can do ? not a criticism just an annoyance. Tornado GR3s can't peform CAS ???

 

cheers for any help

What is the target?

 

As for the advanced menu, not sure I understand the 'auto-generated' part of your post. You mean you have not specified which weapon to drop, you left it set as AUTO in the drop down menu?

 

Is it set up using the bombing command in the advanced menu? Does it look like it shows on page 136 in the GUI manual?

I find that in order to get AI aircraft to do what I want them to do, I often have to set an advanced waypoint action telling them not to react to enemy threats.

 

When they start seeing targets, often times their own (somewhat foolish) AI will kick in and they won't do what you've told them to.
