Help with Stuka kamikazes!!
 

Hi there, this is my first post.

The issue is that using the full mission builder am trying to dive bomb a carrier using Stukas, I follow all the rules...set the flight at 3500 to 4000 mts, set the target on the ship, set it as GAttack, this fight is a all IA flight, but when came the time to bomb the carrier...they seems to be not "sure" if that is the target, and stated to go down...and finally they just go for a kamikaze attack instead of the supposed dive bomb :confused::confused:...I installed the latest patch 11.1...but not to bail.

Any one knows what happens??

Thank you!

Do they have waypoints after GATTACK or is that the last waypoint? If it's the last waypoint then they will kamikaze into the target as this is the assumed intention.

I would also use the select feature for GATTACK and ensure that the Stuka flights are targeting the carrier specifically. Otherwise they will reach the GATTACK point and look for targets that they can see. If they can't see something they will scout around looking for something to kill which probably explains the behavior you're seeing.

Also, 3500 mts might be too low, I give all dive bombers 4500 mts, otherwise they have problem pulling up in time.

Thank you IceFire and Lagarto, now they dive bomb the carrier correctly...

Happy to help!
