I set up a mission so that my AI bombers would bomb some ships. The first couple of run throughs it ran just fine and the ships were sunk. I started tweaking some stuff and now the bombers can't hit the broad side of a barn and when they do the ships don't sink!

The tweaks I made were to add a few more planes in the air and to have the AA start a little later. I also tried fiddling with the height to get better looking dive bombs.

Now even when I go back to the original mission they just can't seem to hit the target.

What is the difference in the various bombs such as an SD 500 compared to a SC 500?

Any suggestions? I need those ships sunk.

Hi,

If the ships absolutely must be sunk, then you could increase the skill of the AI, place a target designation on each ship from each attacking flight of aircrarft, increase the number of planes attacking each ship, and choose a different ordnance.


Here is the link to a topic of mine about the ordnance:

Thanks for the help. But...

I have the AI skill at Ace. I have the ships I need targeted by two flights of 2 or 4 each. They seem to get in each others way so I even tried staggering them. I tried all the ordnances and so far no cure.

Are you sure that you know how to make a special target designation from the attacking aircraft to the ships?

Here is the website which focuses on mainly Full Mission Building and it will likely help you:

Thanks Fireskull. Yes I've made many a mission and know how to target the ships in the waypoint. I've also tried destroy and destroy ground. They attack just fine. They just constantly miss even at Ace level.

The website you mentioned is excellent by the way I've used it quite a bit.

Hairog,

Have you been making level waypoints - 3 minimum - before the final waypoint? This is absolutely necessary.
