[4.37] [KTO] CAS & PRE-CAS missions - Not a single mission created by HQ in campaign
-
I have watched the ATO window from the start of the campaign and i have not seen a single mission types of the above.
HQ create lots of DEAD & different strike mission types but no missions against tanks/sp-guns/rockets ground units.Even when red ground forces are near seoul, they are invisible to AIR power (blue ground forces engage the reds as they should).
Why is that ?

GU are targetted by BAI, INT, SAD and ONCALLCAS as well too, not only CAS, Pre-CAS which depends on who spotted the unit, who made the MR (Brigade HQ, Batt HQ, etc) and when it was made.
And there are plenty of BAI and INT being fragged, depends on the tactical situation acft availability and of course the weights given to the specific missions and targets.
Check also next release please, there has been some changes here too. -
@tiag So what you say is that some types of ground forces, like HQ units, pass info to ATO HQ and by this info air missions are created ?
I did not knew that.
And yes, I am waiting for the U3 in general, but especially the campaign ground changes that will come with it.

Will give you a couple of examples:CAS: A battalion faces a stronger enemy, it will request support. It looks for artillery or frag a CAS with immediate time. Sometimes, artillery can support faster, then CAS is not called. In campaigns with lots of arty, specially those organic to a brigade (get a bonus for support), it is very easy to get support by arty. That is one reason more why CAS are not fragged so often.
ONCALLCAS can be fragged by the brigade or by battalions AFAIR during its wp planning phase but some conditions must be fulfilled, like TOT and of course acft availability.
All these MR are coming from different places involving different units. The passing of info between HQ is not happenning now. I would like to make the role of HQ in the future way much larger in the future, that is for sure.

@tiag good info, thank you very much.

Not to forget: Sometimes simply other squadrons and/or aircraft types will get the job from HQ (i.e. A-10). Check the ATO for this (show all).
Did you try to adjust the priority sliders?But you can easily create such a mission for yourself (even with HQ on):
- Select a flight in the desired timeframe, go to ATO, click right, delete (selection sometimes a bit tricky). Otherwise you will most likely get a message “Not enough aircraft at this time available” in the next step.
- On the map, right click the unit you want to attack, Add Package (prefer AI -> Air Interdiction, watch the selected airbase and squadron) and there is your mission
