What a nice ending to the discussion! Thanks a lot Eggstor!!

If you're not willing to test things etc. could you at least hold on the posts until we get it solved?

Thanks

I was already reviewing various actions with the Blinder in the mix and the Citation at 1000 feet (so the Blinder could fire on it if it chose to do so), and no matter what the weapons state is, including those that specify "no air-to-air guns", the Blinder will engage the Citation with its guns as long as Engage Opportunity Targets is active. Conversely, if Engage Opportunity Targets is inactive, the Blinder won't engage the Citation no matter what the weapons state is (including those that specify to engage targets of opportunity with air-to-air guns).

I expect the Badger versions to perform the same.

Just as a reminder, opportunity targets are those other than the target type(s) of the current mission (e.g. air targets in ASuW missions).

Thanks Steve.

Could you post the file so we can see it? Guys we really need these to see what's going on. We want to help but you got to help get us there with the replication part. Oh version you're using would be great as well.

Thanks

Uploading the file. I'm using 936.15 (via Steam)/DB3000 v466.

The changes from the original Opportunity2 file:

- The addition of a Tu-22 Blinder
- The Citation patrol mission altitude is set at 1000 feet.

Perfect Steve. Clear as day. Thanks!

This is by design. Don't turn on Opportunity fire unless you really really mean it [8D]

As Dimitris commented, adjusting the behavior creates weird edge cases elsewhere.
