Question - Land Strike Targeting Options

[zclark]

In the attached scenario, I have a Land Strike mission setup with 24 targets withy 12 F-16s assigned. When the mission is carried out, a single target is selected for all aircraft assigned to the mission to attack. Is there a way to allow aircraft assigned to the mission to engage other targets assigned to the mission without having to wait until they reach their weapon release point? When the first target is destroyed, the mission flight plan remains unchanged, and all aircraft continue to fly toward the destroyed target instead of heading to the next closest target. How can I get the flight plan to update once the first target is destroyed?

Yes, use WRA.

I took a look at WRA and nothing stood out to me. Can you be more specific?

I Generally break missions apart, say assigned 4 targets each to a pair of f-16s. But in WRA take your weapons and set the rounds per target and # of shooters per target.

So let's say I have 24 targets and 12 F-16s with 2 JDAMS each. I will set the WRA to 1 JDAM per target and 1 shooter. SO each F-16 will lob a JDAM at a different target.

By spreading the mission out you can more easily deconflict the target list across you strikers.

Thanks for the feedback. I tried changing the WRA to have only one shooter per salvo but all the aircraft assigned to the mission headed for the same target as before. Looks like I'll have to do what you suggested and manually assign smaller target sets.
