How do i make aeroplane's attack ships ? in the mission editor.

[Rickrick123]

I have a good working knowledge of the editor but for some reason i cannot get the AI to attack ships.? Have tried all the usual commands like attack ground units, attack ground etc. Any ideas I would be gratefull.

Share your mission file here so we can take a look at what the problem is.

Bombing or stafing with f.i. a Spitfire ?

Could maybe be that your altitude for the attack commands are not at the same height as the last waypoint?

I also remember reading a tip a year ago, that the last waypoint should be directed towards the attack commands.

I don't have a mission file yet. just experimenting. I delete things if they don't work. I will have another go and see what happens. I am surprised no one has made a tutorial on this matter it would be great.!

Did you also try the Attack MCU?

But to test whether something works, you need to play the mission in game. If you can play the mission in-game, there has to be a mission file.

The logic is exactly the same as this tutorial:

 

 

 

You can also read how to do it in the mission editor manual:

 

 

 

Or Prang's mission builder manual:

 

 

Good luck!

Here's my ship attack routine.

 

2 Typhoon. Bomb or rockets. Ship (or train/vehicle) moving or static. Leave area to waypoint after delivery.

I made a test with ships attacking ships BTW, it's fun to watch it. It seems all the captains were drunk either from schnapps or vodka. 

The destroyers are only using torps, and the guns won't shoot; i wonder why.

PS don't let the player IL2 interfere, just use it to watch the show. (KUBAN map)
