Why other planes of my squadron don't bomb the objective ?

[-FRA-Boyington1959]

Hello, Do you know why the other planes in my squadron do not drop their bombs despite the AttackArea command ?

Thank's

Are you talking about a mission that you have made? AttackArea is the MCU command in the full mission builder, right? 

Actually, there are many possible reasons inlcuding: 

- did you tick "Attack Ground" or "Attack Ground Targets"? 

- if you selected "Attack Ground Targets" - are there any enemy ground objects within the specified area?

- did you establish the object link between the "AttackArea" MCU and the leader plane in your flight etc. 

It would be more obvioius if you posted the mission, or a screenshot from the full mission builder.

If nobody does it sooner, I can look into this mission tonight, meanwhile can you say what your desired scenario is - is it like this:

the P-51's escort the P-47's to the target area where the P-47's bomb the tanks and bunkers, while P-51's strafe the enemy AAA guns; and then the Fw-190's arrive to intercept the Americans but who will fight the FW-190's (is it P-51's or P-47's or both)?

The escorting P-51's also carry bombs, so it's kinda "bomb-armed escort", right? The P-47's are supposed to level bomb the bunkers while the P-51's do the dive bombing of the AAA, right? 

Then the Fw-190 arrive but they don't attack the Allies immediately, is it intentional?   

I have done some fixes, you can check. Firstly, the AttackArea MCU (like any other MCU except for DELETE) doesn't need to be linked to every plane in the flight - just link it to the leader plane. Second, the distance between the Wwaypoint before AttackArea AND the AttackArea was a little too short, I made it longer. 

 The AttackArea of the German AAA was not activated, I fixed it. 

Now all the Allied planes drop the bombs (except maybe for one P-51 because the ground targets are too few and he is too late to attack before all available targets get destroyed, so he keeps his bombs). 

You can check the mission to see the fixes, although I think that the mission still needs refining.  

 

PS

Oh and I have ungrouped it, as it was easier to edit this way.

Merci camarade, a priori, tu semble avoir compris le scénario, et effectivement c'est bien ça ! Mission un peu compliquée pour les P-51...

Merci BEAUCOUP pour votre aide
