Some questions

[dasuto247]

I enjoy flying torpedo planes the most I have found, mainly because it is a real challenge against some of the add on ships with AA fires.Problem is have yet to see AI wingmen assigned to my flight perform a torpedo attack? I did adjust their unit type etc for dive bombers and my AI wingman dive bombers now perform their strikes as assigned.I lost my link with all the unit types and family ids, it was in a thread.Anyone have them?

Also, how do make a ship able to absorb torpedo hits? The US carriers take just a few torpedoes and they are finished, wan to fix it.

Also, have a TBM plane perfect for later war.Issue is no matter what key I assigned to fire the wing guns only, the turret and ventral gun fire as well.What would I need to do to make it so that can assign them each a fire key? MK TBM is the plane.

Also still trying to figure out how to add a simple auto pilot.Just one that will hold altitude and heading.

I have asked a couple of these before but was unable to really work on the issues at time, can not locate threads now.Thanks in advance.

I use the stock TBF and it torpedo attacks fine.

I have it set.

Family=1
Category=4 It can also be set to 5 and it will also level bomb.When set to 4 it glide bombs and releases all it's bombs.

Answers were already given to you about the ships in another thread you started.I think the family types and category types was also in one of your threads.I know Capt Kurt listed them in a thread.

For the guns for the TBM you have to set them up in the dp file as to what fires them.Off the top of my head I don't remember which numbers to change but maybe someone can give you the link to do a lot of things with the dp.

Her are the unit types info.

For the gun prob. look in the OH TBM or TBD-1 DP file and compair to the one you wish to fix.

Hope this helps,

The AI when not part of my flight performs torpedo attacks fine.The problem is my wingman and those in MY flight will not.Changing them to type 2 and 4 will make them perform torpedo attacks when ordered?

Try the OH Avenger - it attacks fine. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=52&id=5879 When the ai are in my flight, they may be slow to attack (depending on the way you lay out the attack waypoints) but they do attack.

Intel report: a new Avenger may be out this summer.

The planes in the player flight need time to set up to attack after being told to attack.At times they will fly over the target and attack from a different angle. You may be able to attack from the angle you are at but they can't and will find the best way to attack.Like I said it may take some time. Maybe you should order them to attack and follow them to see what they do,I've done that and attacked with them.
