Basic Air Training: Gound Strafing with M61 Vulcan?

[roderh]

Hi,

newbie here with some questions:

1) In order to rise my score I would like to utilize the M61A1 Vulcan mounted in Corsairs and Tomcats for ground strafing. Database says, that valid targets are soft land structures and soft mobile units. I would think, red base must have these valid targets, too. Internet says: "the cannon has limited usefulness in a ground strafing role".

I tried to adjust the WRA (Weapons Release Authorization), but without success.

Once, I think I saw a grey-white ray emitted from one of my aircrafts. Does this symbolize such a shooting?

2) My score varies between 500 and 1400. How can I check what's to do for maximum score?

3) Are this the complete titles for the scores: ... [defeat?] ... minor, average, major, triumph?

4) I would think, some kind of leaderboard for each scenario would be fine. Does this exist already somewhere?

TIA!

Got to make sure your ground strafing ROE is set to yes.

Ah, yes.. I noticed this once, but forget...
Thank you!

Anybody for 2) to 4)?

Had a look in my Savegame and, well, I also forget, that I have set this setting to "yes", already. So, it seems, thats is not the problem.
Nevertheless: Thanks!
