Is there any way to target weapons in flight?

[USAAF2]

Hello,

 

I am just wondering if it is possible to modify the game so that missiles in flight could be targeted by other weapon systems/objects in the game. I can think of a few cases where this could be an improvement. For example, a ship with the Phalanx guns could fire at an incoming air-to-ground missile and fighters or air defenses could try to knock out an inbound cruise missile.

So, is it possible to make weapons selectable as targets and make them vulnerable to hits before reaching their target?

Ships and ground objects will not target anything other than an aircraft or another ground object. That's hard coded into the game, and cannot be modified via any .ini tweaks.

 

I once put together a video showing the USS Long Beach shooting down a cruise missile, but to accomplish that, I had created a player "flyable" cruise missile (in other words, turned it into an "aircraft"), just for that video.
