kritter -> Mine Clearing Problem (9/7/2021 3:11:26 PM)

There seems to be a problem with adding more weapons on the helicopter for the mine cleaning. It will fire the load out weapons just fine but will not fire the other weapons. I have tried other mounts etc... It works on ships and I have used the same method on other aircraft for ASW and ASuW operations. The same is true when I use other methods of mine cleaning weapons. Not sure what is wrong.

The mine-clearing is working. The SeaFox (in the loadouts) are fired when mines are detected.
Load outs are important to aircraft; they sort of 'replace' mounts in most cases.
------------
I did notice though that once all the loadout SeaFox fired, it started using the 'mount' Seafox.
*** I take that back. ONE SeaFox fired from the mount ****

Ahh. You can manually do a BOL against a located mine, and it will use the 'mount' SeaFox. Which is why the above fired (I had used a BOL )

Yes exactly, It should fire automatically at the mines from the mount. It works that way on the other types of missions, if I put a mount on an aircraft for torpedos it will fire with an ASW mission automatically. I tried using a ship with the sea fox mount and it did fire automatically at the mines. The helo does not seem to do this. Also I noticed if you add a mount with say the mk106 it does not work at all.

Any ideas on how to make this work like the other weapons work?



michaelm75au -> RE: Mine Clearing Problem (9/17/2021 2:39:50 AM)

Not as an automatic attack procedure.
Weapon systems that are not not part of the MCM suite, don't see mines as 'targets' and 'contacts'. Mine warfare is treated differently to other combat; they have their own system to attack anyone and be countered by dedicated MCM gear.
In the case of aircraft, the mine countermeasure weapons need part of the loadout to fall into that category.



kritter -> RE: Mine Clearing Problem (9/17/2021 2:22:54 PM)

Is there a work around for that? I would have thought it would have been consistent with how other weapons work.
This must also explain why other mine cleaning weapons don't work as well. Is there going to be a fix for this.
I know now it is WAD, but it does not work as any other weapons and it can't be put on other Helos or aircraft.
I would hope this gets revisited.

Bump, Any Ideas?
