Scharnhorst1943 Wrote:The issue is even more complicated than that ... you will NEVER EVER get a P-40 to dive bomb with your current methods. Period. It has to do with the aircraft class. Within IL-2 and within DCG you have the following aircraft classes ...
Seaplane
Fighter
Jabo
Ground-Attack
Dive-Bomber
Level-Bomber
Transport
These are your only options. I think the P-40 is either a fighter class or a Jabo class. Only dive bombers will dive bomb. All other planes will use ground attack waypts.
What can you do? You have two options ...
Option 1) Go into DCG and aircraft class panel and change the aircraft class of P-40 from Fighter/Jabo to Dive-Bomber.
Option 2) go to DCG panels and see what loadout is selected for P-40 & anti-shipping missions. It may be that there is no anti-shipping option available which is causing the error.
My reccomendation is to try option 2 first, then option one. Do that and get back to me.
This is not quite correct. P40's will not dive bomb no matter what you do. The AI behavior type is coded into the plane's classfile, which has nothing to do with DCG. If you want a dive bombing fighter, I would suggest using the F4U.
CY6.
EDIT: Just checked the P40 classes - they are set as pure fighters, so you won't get them to ground attack a moving target, sorry.
