AGM-158 AI Deployment (Or other cruise weapons)
-
Hello Community
Question today. How ,if possible, have you guys gotten your wingman AI to employ long range weapons like the JASSAM or other cruise missiles? I did a search on the forum on the issue and saw DJ’s post of moving the IP before they would engage. The result of that is upon hitting the IP much further away they are requesting permission to engage, then they proceed to fly directly at the objective often getting to within 40 Miles of the target without firing. Now the weapons they are carrying are the same as me with the AGM-158 and I’m engaging at least 90 Miles away easily and hitting the targets. What can I do to get them to fire? What have you guys done?
Thank you

Anyone? Is no one using these weapons because of this issue or am I just missing something with the use of these weapons?

Did you give them “Weapons Free AG”, so W (wingman menu) > 5 (weapons free AG command) on menu?
As an aside, you do the same, but Weapons “Free AA” to engage airborne bad guys (W>4 on menu).

@dawgboy that was ineffective

When I recon in 2D and assign specific targets to my flight giving ‘Weapons free AG’ & ‘Attack Targets’ in sequence my flight elements release their payload as intended. This is working for JSOW >15nm out as well as JASSM >50nm out…though I don’t use the latter that often.

@Grimberno I will test that and report back ty

If I could buy you a beer… Thank you very much for your guidance on this. Weapons free attack collateral targets did indeed get him to shoot greater than 50nm. Its not max range like me but its better than overflying the target pretty much to engage. Again thank you!

@Trigger you’re welcome! I’m happy to help.

@Grimberno Hey you had the answer last time. Any idea on how to get AI for instance other packages or flights other than my own to do the same thing. Without me giving the order AI flys dangerously low sometimes avoiding optimal WEZ and right up to the target with long range weapons. Even with the IP 60+ miles away it’s like if thr AI could give the weapons free and attack my target like humans then they would fire further away.
-
@Trigger sorry, but in this case I’m totally oblivious. I guess there is not much to do here, w/o your ‘trigger’ (pun intended) for your package AI does what AI does
