hi,

for a while now ive been trying to get ships to fire at ground targets but it dont work. i cant get the russian ships to fire anything at a enemy static object, how do i make it work?

 

thanks in advance

The ships will fire if the deem the vehicles a threat. Try this:

 

Put the CVN70, Tico and an OHP at the shoreline.(Blue forces)

 

put (red forces) a BMP, Tank, Smerch, Tunguka for example at the shoreline no farther than 1 -2 km away.

 

Dont give any orders..that is just place the ships and vehicles without setting them to attack

 

The ships will destroy all vehicles and the vehicles will attempt to destroy the ships.

 

Make sure:

 

The ships can see the targets. If they cant, they will not fire. Exception is the Tico which will launch its cruise missles at targeted objects BVR

 

The CVN does not have offensive weapons. It will not attack land targets. It will however use its CIWS against incoming missles or even missles within its range targeted at other friendlies...sometimes.

 

The Ticos deck guns are fore and aft, OHP deck guns are aft. Make sure the targets are within their firing arc and range, and have ammo if theyve already seen some combat...

 

The ships will attack based on threat level and what you have told them are priorities (im guessing) Take this into account when your building your mission.

 

Hope that helps...

thanks havok but how do you get the moskow and other russian ships to fire from BVR against bunkers?

To get ships to carry out indirect fire, make sure that there is an AWACS in the mission.

They will fire on the nearest active target. Unfortunately bunkers are not active.

 

regards

Landmines can be placed under items, Cruise Missles will be launched on those.
