Status: offline 		This scenario made me finally dig into weapon release authorizations and understanding strike missions. The quantity of planes is too large to micromanage or manually fire each strike aircraft. As it was it's tough enough to coordinate a dozen strikes.

The problem : Every plane fired every piece of ordnance at a single revetment.

The answer : change the WRA to one round fired instead of all ordnance.

Then something unexpected happened. Every plane came in on the same vector, and all basically fired at the exact same half dozen revetments. Still no good. For this mission you need airfield wide destruction. The answer, Allow Off-Axis Attacks.

Ah hah! Now the strike missions will come in at different vectors. Be aware that this can look dumb as planes fly right back through the AAA again, some babysitting required. I still wish there was a way to randomly define targets, or even prioritize targets in the list. Strike planner 2.0 maybe?

This is the end result. Hopefully that little tidbit will save you a bit of grief. The mission is a lot of fun to watch play out.

Status: offline 		Thanks! That should be helpful with strike planning too... Apparently the direction of an attack run on a runway matters quite a bit...

Status: offline 		Thanks for the write up... do you use different missions for the revetments and the hangars? And are you looking to strike all the airfields at the same time or are you hitting them sequentially, from East to West..
