Assigning Targets to moving tanks

[JG53Frankyboy]

i have build a lot of COOP mission (sure , no MDS...)for the VOW in the past.
missiongoals very often not easy, indeed.

we worked the following:
the game count at missionstart the objects that are IN the circle.
so we used submerged submarines at the barrier of the circle.
so, if there were 12 tanks (3 troops) and the goal was to kill 6 of them than we used 6 submarines and set 100% or 12 Subs and 50%
other way was "destroy" 50% of each troop = 3x2 tanks.......

the game has its limitations in its winconditions....... anyway, to make the circle bigger of the "destroy ground" would be a good idea !

I'm sorry but i didn't get the idea... could you post an example .mis of this? I'd like to try it out.

[JG53Frankyboy]

small examples, two of four tanks have to be destroyed

here the 4 tanks are starting IN the circle, but they do not count, the game needs at missionstart stationary objects as calculatinng base

here now, the tanks are starting even outside the circle, but are in during the attack.
at the border of the circle you cann see the twoo submerges submarines.
now the two tanks are counted, blue wins mission

this works in COOP were you have some influence in the timing , doubt it is usefull on dogfightservers.....

[Aviar]

Forgive me if I am repeating anything, but just to be clear.....

When the mission starts, the game counts ground objects inside the Target 'circle' and calculates how many must be detroyed based on the destruction percentage. If you have 8 objects in the circle at mission start and the objective is set 50%, the game decides you need to destroy 4 objects inside the circle.

If at some point 6 moving objects leave the circle, the objective is impossible to achieve as there are only 2 targets to destroy.

Similarly, if other moving objects arrive within the circle at the time of attack, the objective may become easier. The game does not distinguish between objects that were in the circle at the time it makes the initial objective calculation and objects that arrive or leave later. It requires you to destroy a sufficient number of objects that are within the circle at the time they are destroyed to satisfy the target number it calculated at mission start. It doesn't care if they are the same objects that it used in the calculation or different objects.

Thx a lot for your time. Now I fully understand.

My squad flies a lot of coops, so this info will be really useful.
