Scenario Test - Backfire not firing AS4 Kitchen

Created a small test scenario with a single Backfire carrying 2 AS4's.

Gave the order to attack a UK airbase and it trundles off to attack but it just heads towards the target and then circles till it has to RTB.

Is it something to do with the weapon load ?

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Okay - ignore. Target has to Ships. My bad.

Perhaps the planes altitude does not match launch parameters?

Cheers!

Yes, always know what the valid targets are for your weapons.

I had the wrong loadout. I was using AS4 anti-shipping birds.
Changed it to the Tercom ones and away they went. The Humber bridge took a near miss and the other bird malfunctioned.
Boy those AS4's can shift [:)]

So it burned for 44 minutes? That probably compounded the damage a bit.
