Oh.. I never looked at that setting before. What' that all about? Activates when fired upon?

there is communication simulated where other won't engage if already engaged. especially during long range engagement

short range WVR is more chaotic,

Note as a human player, you got to closely monitor the situation. because sometime it could create a very annoying result.

for example, a ...

No prob.
You're point on loitering units is valid but probably the lesser problem?
It doesn't impact me much as I tend to click and check things constantly.

I agree it's a lesser problem. Just that with ADHD I try to over-organize and automate when possible, because it's difficult and ...

I didn't save that particular state, unfortunately. Will do next time I encounter this situation. And yes, ship based SAMs were on the way there at the time.
Which brings up another question of whether 2 groups set on Auto engage, could/would engage the target independently or is there communication ...

Thanks for the advice and testing it.
I can be fine with the issue, but posted mainly to understand the settings and if I'm not seeing something. It's more about expectations, in that if I know how it works I can deal with it.
Sure, No RTB setting will prevent the deserters, but then it becomes an ...

I've often been having issues with aircraft not engaging and can't figure out consistent circumstances for it.
Here's an example.
Have it set to Auto engage, radar enabled, Auto distance on the weapons, ROE inherited TIGHT and Auto Altitude and Speed. Range to target is 24 miles, well within AAMRAM ...

Yes, that's what I was working with and couldn't make sense of the setting not working.
The setting I expected to work was "Shotgun - One engagement with WVR and Strike weapons. Allow targets of opportunity for Air to Air".
I didn't run a mission, but manually targeted with a standoff cruise missile ...

I've returned to CMO after some break and am being reminded how I quit due to frustrating behavior.
One constant problem I have in the game is preventing RTB.
I did a manual strike with standoff cruise missiles, and they want to RTB right after. I can't figure out which of the weapons state setting ...

Nobody ever talks about the Afghan Navy. Sad.

Thanks for checking.
I wonder if the interaction you describe wouldn't be explained by a different message though.
The other block from launch is the targeting message. I forget the specific words, but it's due to not getting a good fix. Which can be fixed by turning on radar or getting a fix from ...

This case is with PL-12. The previous case was with AIM-120.

Again..
Aircraft id: B CapF 10A 2 - directly at an F15. Not within boresight limits.

Head on, no ability to fire. Already avoided 2 missiles, now still not being able to fire getting 2 more fired at me.
Are we to expect a coin toss and sometimes just having a broken airplane which ...

I did read both and have them bookmarked.
But thanks for the reminder to look through that FAQ first. Looks like I forgot about it.

Ah yes, it does note Pre-briefed target only. That would seem to make the laser spot tracker extraneous and the bomb not a LGB at all. Oh well. Maybe it just refers to the bomb's sexual orientation instead of guidance method.

Yes, and LGB is also in the name, with an on-board laser spot tracker.
Weapon id #251. Hence my question, wondering if it simply doesn't use the laser in that case. And wouldn't that affect accuracy? The CEP of 2 meters, would that be with laser tracking or not?

I'm confused about the usage of the 3 CUSVs for Mine Hunting.
One is the sonar boat with the ROV for detecting mines, and the other 2 are marked as "Mine KIller".
These two have no equipment and are just plain boats. How are they supposed to remove mines?

I was using B-2s (#3220) with the GBU 28B/C LGB loadout (#17838).
These are laser guided, yet the B2 was not equipped with a laser designator. I had a B1 nearby just in case it for a designator, but found that the B2 was able to drop these bombs successfully without any need for a laser.

Was it ...

I can agree that results are more real when not deterministic, and it's more enjoyable to just play the game as you say. When you can find the exact algorithm to "win" it does pretty much end the game. I've also played lots of Hearts Of Iron.

But it's also not a crap shoot where result are random ...

Ah yes!
Those are all good methods and ideas for this situation.

I've been getting this limit to firing in many cases where I'm flying directly at a target at nearly the same altitude, and needing to fire but just unable and then having to deal with their missile.
And it's not just for a second, but in this case for a long time where I have to make a defensive ...
