Friendly bombers not boming the target in a bomber's mission

[Cresswell_77th]

I made a mission on a naval action at the port city in Crimea and I placed 2 torpedo bombers in it and one of them is you, I got 4 P-51D's escorting the bomber's flight and 5 sumbarines at the harbour and every plane hits their targets except the torpedo bomber in my flight, it just follows me everywhere I go untill it gets shot down by a flak. How can I make him strike his target?

I can think of 2 ways right off hand.
1: Padlock the target and have him attack your target with chat commands.
2.Put yourself in the second plane, as wingman, the first plane should attack the target, I think.

Cresswell_77th,

Do you have your planes low enough? Torpedo attacks should be low. In the game that means less than 50m although that is very high in real life. The AI improves with each patch, but they do still some stupid things on occassion.

Do you have the ship targeted as a Gattack waypoint for your bombers? Am alternate method is to set a generic Gattack waypoint for your bombers near the ship. Have the ship or ships be a primary target in the "target" object.

I'd gladly take a look at your mission if you can't get it to work. You can get my e-mail off my profile.
