How do i get friendly ai aircraft to attack enemy???

Recommended Posts

I'm running a cti mission with a friend or two that we are able to go in and save our progress whenever we wan't. But a problem i'm having is i recruit friendly ai choppers and A-10 warthogs to provide close air support but even when i order them to attack a perspective enemy unit (lets say a t-72) the A-10 warthog will fly over the town and swoop down but "DOES NOT" engage the target like i ordered him to & the choppers seem to stay outside of the city limits and just kinda hover "without shooting at anything" and then eventually get shot down. I'm trying desperately to provide close air support for me and my friends upon trying to attack an enemy town but i cannot seem to get it to provide cap cover, what am i doing wrong???

Are you using any of the support modules? for destroying MBT's and AFV's I seem to recall you have to designate these with a laser designator for the AI to successfully engage, same with Choppers. 

Once you call in the support, it gives you a list of guided or unguided munitions, depending on what you've used as the default CAS aircraft, will depend on what ordnance it will drop,

normally (default behaviour), if you assign a CAS plane an attack order, it will engage. It needs a proper approach angle though, and preferably guided ammunition (is most effective for AI).
