Anti-Ship missiles after oct2008 patch

[+ravenclaw_007]

the most of the anti-ship missiles in game use as guidance type "Inertial Homing" all this missiles for some reason dont hit the target anymore especially the cargoship the tanker for some reason gets some hits , if i change the guidance type to "radio command guided" or "semi-auto command guided" (CGR) this missiles hit every target every time

 

so is it something with the new patch or has it do with the cargoship ??? in the data.ini of the cargoship i cant find enything wrong

- if you change the anti-ship missile guidance to TV guided with mid-course correction it works every time...no idea why but it works.

 

- and as the only other apparent purveyor of anti-ship missions, may I humbly suggest grabbing the other ships in the download section (except for the carriers as they are indestructible) and smacking them? Couple of data.ini edits required but more than worth it!

Yes , I have the same problem with the October patch. I had created some awesome missions for the 8-06 patched game with waves of AI aircraft - Anti ship - CAS- SEAD and Armed recon that all performed wonderfully with guided bombs and missiles, they would even engage secondary targets, but of course the strike flights were limited to dumb bombs and additionally they would only make one pass drop thier bombs and fly home. Post patch with the same mission some wierd things are going on and I need to look in to it further. I have 3 flights of AI SEAD aircraft which now refuse to use LGB's, an armed recon flight that used to be super aggressive now just flys around in circles. AI anti ship missions are hosed up too. The funny part is that now the AI strike flights that used to be such an annoyance , are engaging targets of oppertunity after they hit their obgective.

 

I have decided that until all of this stuff gets sorted out I will keep an 8-06 install for my mud moving missions and do my dogfighting on another install with the new patch.

i have try all kind of ships and missiles it is allways the same this anti-ship missiles seams to engage the point where the ship was located at the launch of the missile , the reason why the tanker gets some hits is because the tanker is much larger and drives at a low speed and then the missile impacts on the tailsection of that ship

 

so the only thing to solve that is to change al this weapon or ask TK for help , changing the weapons requires to change your data.ini of your aircrafts to
