wolle Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 I would like to create missions involving ships. But after placing e.g. a CG-60 Normandy on the sea, there are no tasks or enroute tasks that I can assign to her, right? How can I involve her in the mission, e.g. have her fire some tomahawk cruise missiles at a given land unit or structure? Does anyone have an example mission where the CG-60 does something?

Grimes Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 About all you can do is put it in a mission and hope it detects targets. If it does, you should be treated to several Tomahawk launches. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

wolle Posted January 28, 2012 Author Posted January 28, 2012 Thanks grimes, definitely going to try that. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Intel Core I7 4820K @4.3 GHz, Asus P9X79 motherboard, 16 GB RAM @ 933 MHz, NVidia GTX 1070 with 8 GB VRAM, Windows 10 Pro
VFA41_Lion Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 About all you can do is put it in a mission and hope it detects targets. If it does, you should be treated to several Tomahawk launches. And then you can be treated to all of them missing their targets. :music_whistling:
wolle Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 You are right. They all seem to miss. They fly in at low altitude, then, when close to the target rise in altitude, and then dive towards the target, but all of them overshooting the target by about 50 feet or so. Is this a bug? Is ED aware of that? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Intel Core I7 4820K @4.3 GHz, Asus P9X79 motherboard, 16 GB RAM @ 933 MHz, NVidia GTX 1070 with 8 GB VRAM, Windows 10 Pro
VFA41_Lion Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 I reported it in tech support but last I checked, it received no replies.
Speed Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 The ability to give ships fire at point tasks was removed with DCS: WH (fire up FC2/BS1 and you will see that you can do it there). Hopefully, it will come back some day. Cruise missiles missing isn't the only issue that the weapons have; ALCMs/TLAMs are also incapable of climbing over anything with a steeper grade than like 5%- and sometimes, they won't even make it over those. Thankfully, the implementation of a few other cruise-missile-like weapons (such as the AGM-84E) appears to be working just fine. Intelligent discourse can only begin with the honest admission of your own fallibility.
