Bombs Config

[wld427 1705]

Ok please correct me if i am wrong but for the AI to use a bomb you need CanLock=2 in the weapons config.

Then the bomb is guided or is that because i have CanLock=2 also in the ammo config?

basically how do i get the Ai to propperly (if thats possible in Arma) to drop thier unguided bombs.

If I remember right:

My weapon has:

canLock = lockNo; (not sure what that number is)

My ammo has:

irLock = false;

laserLock = false;

airLock = false;

The trick is getting the AI to hit anything with it. For me at least, they liked to drop their bombs about 1-200m early, hitting nothing (or worse, friendlies). I messed with the maxSpeed value (like you have to do to get the AI to hit anything with a rocket launcher). Setting it insanely low helped, although they are still not spot on.

Of course, mine also had a bad habit of hitting themselves with their bombs

no

maxLeadSpeed as well as other speed related values correct

so just to clarify since the Biki lists it in both areas i need canlock=2 in the weapons and canlock=0 in the ammo?

reminder this is for a free fall bomb

airLock=false;

irLock = 1;

laserLock =1;

trackOversteer = 1;

trackLead = 0.95;

hope that helps, the Ai treat the free bombs as laser guided without the laser  

You have to mess with the sidefriction as mine were over shooting.
