How do I order my flight of Stukas to dive-bomb?

[addman]

Created a ship attack mission yesterday with me as flight leader in a flight of six Stukas. As we approached the ships it hit me, there is no "attack ships" command in the comms menu! It ruined the whole mission as I was the only one doing any dive-bombing, the rest of the flight was just circling around like idiots. This game...*sigh*

Anybody?! LOL! What's the point of being flight leader for a flight of Stukas (or other bomber for that matter) if you can't even order them to engage any targets? I hope Luthier and team tries to get the BASICS first in their next installment of the series.

Comms have been broken since the start. I wish they would sort it but so far nothing.

No daft as it seems they are on a 3d quest at the moment

You don't. As was said. Comms are broken, and were broken from the start. People found it waaaay more important to press on the "lime-green" issue and some crack-heads with blowtorches obviously still think that way.
That's where we are now.

Youd think having ai that worked would be a priority. Your wingman wont help you or attack, and your bomber group wont bomb.... |It boggles me the devs dont see this as a priority. May as well just fly solo.

The list of fixes is hough so it's all going to take time. I've been with my wife for 25 years and my kids and her still don't do as I say so a few more months for the Dev team to fix coms is as I see it an easy wait.

You should set a waypoint type to "Attack target" for Stukas. If you set your waypoint to "Normal flight" they do exactly what ordered (fly normally and not attacking anyone)

Then you must select the ships as targets for this waypoint. And iirc set type of attack to divebomb or auto.

If you set the waypoint alt high enough for divebomb they will divebomb (3500 m. to make sure, but may be a lower). If they do not have enough alt for a dive they will level bomb.

In general aircraft follow instructions of the mission maker set in waypoints.

You can ask FMB related question in the FMB section where you have more chances to get answers from mission-makers http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/forumdisplay.php?f=203

Would any of the dev's care to post?

Any word how high of a priority getting the flight comms are ?

Think we may see a fix in the next few weeks or possibly longer?

I myself enjoy interacting with the flight groups, etc.
