Torpedo Attacks.

[TheWarrior 62]

So can any one answer this for me please. Way do AI controlled IJN aircraft make torpedo attacks but AI controlled USN aircraft just make strafing runs? well I guess I should ask first if any one else has seen this happen.

I don't have any torpedo bombers in any of my installs at the moment but from experience with other aircraft not using their weapon the first thing I would do is check the aircraft loadout.ini, the weapons station entry in the aircraft data.ini and the US aerial torpedoes, the Mk13 I think, in the weapons folder, and make sure all of weapon names, StationID, StationGroupID, AllowedWeaponClass, and AttachmentType, match in all files. Also open up the data file for both the USN and IJN Torpedo bombers and compere the AI data entries.

 

Best to eliminate the simplest possibilities first, all it takes is for one letter to be off and the USN torpedo bombers don't have any torpedoes.

not having a single problem ... the fish work and my wingies drop them (listen for the "Rifle" call)

That did it guys. First, there were no weapons station in the load out ini for the TBFs and TBMs. At least, not in mine. Also, I was using the wrong Mk-13 torpedo. It working now. Thanks guys.

yes, you need 2 separate stations, one for bombs one for fish (not counting the HVARs on the wings, of course!)

Yea I had to add those too.

Glad to hear that you have everything working.
