I created a mission that has JU-88's bombing an RAF airfield. At the last waypoint before the airfield, I have the JU-88's assigned to "bomb", but when the AI is flying, the planes just go over the airfield and never release their bombload. Also, I have a couple of ME-109s that are assigned CAP duty. They do attack the RAF fighters, but they also attack ground targets. If they're assigned "CAP", shouldn't they just be concerned with enemy airplanes and not ground units or targets? I thought that was what "Sweep" is for. Any ideas on what's going on and how I can fix it? Thanks, G-man IP: Logged |

Make sure the bombing area covers the target and make sure it extends way out since they won't start lining up for their bomb run until they enter the "rectangle" you create for the bombing waypoint. TS IP: Logged |

Thanks Tail, I think you're on to something. I'll modify the mission when I get home tonight and see what happens.G-man IP: Logged |

Yup- you have to give the bombers time to get their bomb run lined up and aquire their target. As far as the fighters- I can't figure it out. Even making sure their waypoints don't cross the ground targets paths doesn't work- they still dive down and shoot up ground targets. What really irks me is when they are assigned a sweep and then just use their guns- for some reason, the AI doesn't touch rockets unless it is to drop them before a dogfight  IP: Logged |

Thanks for the help guys, it worked. Except now I have one more problem. The lead JU-88 drops its bombs okay but the remaining 2 aircraft in the flight continue to fly over the target and do nothing. Sometimes they'll open their bomb bay doors but not drop anything. Is there something else I need to do.Thank you, G-man IP: Logged |

Don't know if it'll help, but you might assign your squadrons top level skill, morale, etc in the properties.IP: Logged |

yeah that's the problem with the ai at the moment, once the leader does the deed they just follow like sheep and won't drop. Pity, as sometimes it would be nice to see the target completely bombed the crap out of!
