Fired Two Missiles at Once ?

[GAJ52]

Currently using 1.2.4 11855.

 

Using Erforce excellent Datalink tutorial and mission, I set up a Datalink point and sent wingman 4 to go there and wait, which he did with no problems. After a while I set the tanks on the right of the island as a Datalink target for wingman 4 and asked him to attack them, which he did - thanks again ED :)

 

Only slight glitch was he fired two missiles at each tank (two missiles in the air at the same time) even though the first missile made the kill, and on one tank he fired three missiles. I have not seen this before.

Set burst length to long.

It is probably to ensure a kill, rather than conserve ammunition.

No JG, he said WM4 fired 2 vikhr, not himself. ;)

 

GAJ52, fortunately or not, it's not a bug. Working as intended.

Every AI in BS will thow 2 missiles on any heavy armor like Tanks.

Sometimes, the first missile doesn't kill the tank, so does the second.

That'y why if you send your wingmen to kill tanks, expect them to dispense their ammo twice as fast. ;)

[GAJ52]

That makes sense, I asked WM2 to take out the Sams and he only used one missile per target.

 

Its nice to see ED are listening to our BS2 gripes.
