Very Bad Il-10 bug?

[Golf Pro]

Is it just me, or do AI IL-10's simply refuse to drop PTAB's? I can't get them to drop them on any thing at any height or at any speed.

As these are pretty crucial weapons for the Beast, I thought this would have been checked out.....

It's probably You doing something wrong.

I have no problems dropping PTAB with IL10.

I mean in the FMB, not from giving orders in-game. I set up attacks the same way as for IL2's (which work), but all the Il-10's do is fly up and down and shy away from starting an attack run....

Are you sure its not waypoint placement? The IL-2 is allot slower than the IL-10 so it may be a speed or altitude setting in the waypoints.

Three waypoints matter...before the attack point, the attack point (GATTACK), and the waypoint after. These need to be somewhat close together and low in altitude.

Thanks Icefire, I'll have another play. Watching the Il-10 when set at 400kmh they seem to make rather strange scything movements on the verge of stall (you can see the vortexes coming off the wingtips) and then pull out of the attack run. I'll try them slower and lower. It may be they are more finicky than the IL-2.

We shall see.....

Hmmm. Well, it I've tested lower and slower, and there's not much improvement. The Il-10's are far less inclined to drop PTAB-2.5's and AJ-2's. Oddly, they are perfectly OK with AO-10's......

There seems to be something that puts them off completing their attack runs. I think there may be something wrong with their FM's.

Hi

Stop trying

Its a reported bug when the IL10 was first introduced.

Annoying but not the end of the world for this aircraft's ground attack role.

Have fun

Any idea if it's going to be fixed in 4.09m? I presume it won't be.....

Of course, putting some enemy fighters on their tails encourages them to drop their load......
