fast mission and abort abort abort

[strtok]

I've been using the fast mission generator lately on medium or hard difficulty and what I find is that the JTAC seems to give me -and- other AIs the same targets. Once I have a target I have about 30 seconds until the AI takes it out and I get the "abort abort abort".

 

On one of the last missions I tried, I had about 4-5 attempts at this until the JTAC had no further tasking.

 

Am I doing something wrong ?:)

Just the other aircraft hitting your target.

you may have used the wrong ordinance requested by the jtac. hence the, abort abort abort...

tell your Ai to hold weapons or hold at ???

No its common in Fast edited mission generator, the JTAC just tell you what it see, but other AI aircraft and Apache attack your target, so the time you are ready to "engage " target ( remark, readback etc ) ", the target assigned is allready in the way to get a missile from an other aircraft or the target is destroyed ( or a part of the group you are assigned to attack )... it can start to be really annoying after the 3th.

 

it seems Jtac communicate only with you ( dont take in account other AI flight, and dont communicate to them he have assigned you this target ) .. At the moment the AI have start an attack ( not forcibly launch a missile ), the jtac pass the target you attack under " not needed, m8, you are too late " . " Abort Abort Abort " ... then he give you a new 9line

I didn't use the wrong ordinance, because I didn't have a chance to use any ordinance :)

 

I think Lane is correct. My targets are being hit quickly by the other AI. The problem is that they attack every target the JTAC gives me until nothing is left :)

I have seen similar in campaign missions since 1.1.1.1.

 

Once the target group you are assigned to hit is eliminated, you get the Abort trio,

then either a release, or 9-line.

 

I am getting no updates prior to it either.

 

JTAC, while very cool in concept, has always seemed a bit wonky...

I think this may actually be due to the improved performance of the AI flights. Of course, their superhuman spotting abilities doesn't hurt. It seems to me that all of the AI flights, and my wingmen, are more effective since v1.1.1.1.
