PANTS 0 Posted October 21, 2007 I Know that this is regards to an old thread but just spent the last 2 hours trying to find it and couldn't.Anyway just started playing with the British stuff again after a long time and was using the Javelin AT missile system. For some reason the AI dont fire at enemy vehicles, why is that and can anyone help ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zulu1 145 Posted October 21, 2007 There are many variations of the Javlin dating back to an early Keg's release. If they do fire by AI they blow up your squad as AI' only fire straight line of sight weapons. The Javlin is a top down weapon that needs to be launched into the air.

sanctuary 19 Posted October 21, 2007 The Javelin has 2 fire modes, one is the well known top down attack , but the other fire mode is the more regular direct attack. Quote[/b] ]The Javelin's normal engagement mode is top-attack to penetrate the tank's most vulnerable armor. It also has a direct-attack capability to engage targets with overhead cover or in bunkers. http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/javelin.htm In WGL you can find the Javelin with those 2 fire modes, and by giving the top down attack an extreme cost value in the config, the AI never use the top down attack. But it will use the direct attack without a problem as it is behaving exactly like the other OFP launcher. So be sure to check WGL if you want a Javelin that the AI can use , while being able to use the top down attack yourself. Edit : oops just noticed this thread was about the UKF Javelin , i thought it was about the MAP Javelin. Disregard my reply in that case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 2 Posted October 21, 2007 we used suchey and earl's javelin and spruced up the textures a tad. Unfortunately the AI couldn't handle the fact that the Javelin is a soft launch weapon (the plop, flop and boost) and invariably they'd blow themselves up because they were incapable of negotiating it. so the AI were forced to never use it.

PANTS 0 Posted October 24, 2007 So how come FFUR-SLX 2007 can manage to use a javelin even if it is in direct mode only. I think it would be great for the British troops in ofp to be able to use javelin at AI level and would be great for Afghan type missions. As a Javelin Platoon Section Commander in 1 Rifles and a great OFP fan it would mean alot to me , to actually see this work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
