F-16 SEAD after patch

[Weaponz248]

Hey guys,

 

I am trying to create a mission to destroy a SAM Site. I need the 2 F-16 to take out both radars. So I set up a flight with the waypoints going to the edge of the largest red circle. I give them the command to attack unit 7 and 8 which are the radars. This worked before the patch with out any issues. Now they wont engage. They just hit the waypoint and go home. Do I need to make the waypoint go all the way to the SAM site or do I need to do something different.

 

 

 

Thanks for the help

Post up the mission and I'll have a look. I vaguely recall something like this in one of my missions.

Cool thanks Nate.

 

 

Here is the mission. Mind you all I have is a few jets and some triggers. I am trying to work the SEAD thing out.

OK, the commands you are using are not correct for this type of mission. You almost always want to use Enroute Commands.

 

To get the F-16s to attack the S-300 I told them to search and engage group, in the Enroute tasks @ WP2. I also checked the Visible checkbox so they would see the targets without having to search. Note F-16s are probably not the best Aircraft for the mission due to limited fuel load. When I tried it, they landed at Mozdok with bingo fuel.

OK thanks Nate. All I want them to do is attack the two radars and nothing else? Will they still only do that with the enroute command?

 

 

One other question I have a tanker in the area, How do I get them to use it. Lets say after the hit the SAM Site I want them to refuel and hit a bridge. Would I just put a waypoint at the tanker and say Refuel?

 

Also What type of A/C wold be better suited for this SEAD? I was assuming the use of HARMS was handy here.

AFAIK that is possible, use Search then engage Unit, rather than Search and engage Group.

I don't know, sorry.

Cool Thanks again man. I go back to playing around with it.

You might've already worked it out by now, but for the refueling whenever an AI group is told to execute a "Perform Task: Refuel" command, they'll seek out the nearest tanker and refuel from it. The task finishes once all members of the flight have tanked.

Cool thanks! So whatever way point I tell them to refuel at they will do that then finish the mission AKA move on to the next way point
