playing the excellent Spratly Spat scenario, I've been confronted with the following issue. See screenshot.
My taskforce is targeted by enemy missiles (circled in green). Those missiles have been aimed so badly they aren't threatening anything, the only unit I have downwards being two refuel planes (circled in red).
However, my task force (circled in red) is shooting a slew of missiles to counter the enemy missiles, wasting precious ammo and exposing themselves to future strikes (either due to lack of ammo, or being busy with the current missiles targeting).
Questions:
1) is there any quick way to mark enemy weapons as non-targets, to prevent my units from shooting (apart from doctrine/WRA)?
2) I understand they're shooting because of the default WRA radius being quite large for some missiles, so I could reduce it to prevent such as situation... but this isn't desirable because it would affect any strike, including an actually threatening one well-aimed at my ships. Same for weapon control doctrine as Hold. Any way to do that cleanly?
4) Speaking of WRA, I'm noticing my task force won't shoot at enemy ships they could shoot because "targets of opportunity" is forbidden, and they're not part of a mission (such as an ASuW strike). This prevents from automatic shooting even if the WRA enables it. However, my task force still shoots at the enemy missiles. How come my ships shoot at the missiles then? Do enemy missiles override the doctrine in the sense that if they can be targeted by the WRA, they will be (even if not mission targets, and targets of opportunity are prevented)?
5) Does the fact that I have two airplanes down the path of the missile affect the AI decision to counter-shoot at the missiles?
Attached is a save.
Thanks!
