AI B-25's not dropping bombs

[No_85_Gramps]

Anyone else run into this issue? Running a mission on Bodenplatte, group of 4 ai b-25's, formation gets to the target area (airfield w/lots of targets), bomb bay doors open, but bombs never drop. Tried a few different things, including swapping the B-25s for A-20s, but the result is the same.

Okay, I seemed to have gotten this worked out. Rather then importing a bomber group and modifying it (as I had done) I deleted it, and built a new group from scratch. The new group performed exactly as I thought it should. The bombers flew to the waypoint, rec'd the attack area command, proceeded to the airfield and dropped their payload!

I still have this issue . Would you please post how you worked it out ?

 

Thanks in advance.

Okay, here's a screen clip showing the general layout of the group. The waypoint and attack area icons are off to the right and not visible. I've also uploaded the group as a zip file so you can import it into your mission. Currently there is no logic for the bombers after they attack, should have added that but I forgot.

I tried to set this up and it's a no go for me. I'm trying to get them to carpet bomb using "Attack Ground" at 1500m altitude. Waypoint is about 5km from target with the "Attack Area Command" set to "Attack Ground." I know it's important to set the "Attack Area Command" icon to 1500m (same altitude) and linking it to the lead plane.

 

I was able to set this up in the past using some He-111s, but not sure what's different now...

I checked another thread. 6000m altitude for the bombers, their waypoints, and I think the Attack Area Command is the magic number for the B-25s to drop their bombs.

You just got to love the mission editor! Crazy how some things work for some, but the exact same thing doesn't work for others. 1500m was the altitude I used and it works fine in my mission, a friend used the group in his mission and it worked. In the post by Hucky he posted a mission and I tried that and it worked.
