Hello,
I have problem with some air strikes specifically against runways.

The problem is that eight F-104G (as can be seen in attached test scenario) are set up in a mission to attack enemy runway. F-104 with Mk83 1000lb bombs will attack runway but F-104 with 500lb boms will just circle around enemy runway till they are out of fuel.

Also if I try to "engage target - auto" result is same (i.e. aircrafts with 500lb bomb will not attack and just circle around target). But if I use "engage target - manual" then they will attack runway.

Please look at attached scenario, just launch it and see the difference between F-104 with 1000lb bombs and F-104 with 500lb bombs.

Please let me know what is wrong. Thanks in advance.

The 500lb are not designated as 'runway' weapons.
Click on the weapon link and check Valid Targets
Compare to the 1000lb
The AI would be using the 'valid targets' for its attacks. Not sure why manual override would allow the attack though.

Hello Michael,
thank you very much for explanation, I have missed that.

Now minor question: is there a possibility to change behaviour of aircrafts with not suitable weapons load to return to base instead of circling around target?
