Not dropping bombs.....

[XyZspineZyX]

Hi,
I am working on a 1942 JABO mission and for some reason I cant make the aircraft drop the bombs on target. I have selected ground attack and selected ground target but the aircraft are totally ignoring this. The altitude is 600m, mayby that is too low....
They just fly over the target, drop the bombs at the same time as they are making a sharp turn to the right....they dont even follow the flight path.....very confusing....

I have found that the AI will not bomb buildings. This includes buildings added from the "Objects" list. The only way I have found to circumvent this is to hide a legitimate target (e.g. tank) within the building and target that. Another problem you may have is the target too close to the GA waypoint.

I haven't been able to get IL-2's or other smaller planes fitted with bombs to bomb a building either. I have been able to get TB-3's to bomb buildings. I haven't tried He-111's yet. Trouble is builds don't blow up. Some of them look exactly the same after being bombed. Some of them are all burnt looking but they never become rubble. http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif
