When i create an gorund attack directive with unit priority only; it execute as only the first day of fly focus on bombing mission; while the following days then wander all over the mission area doing interdictions which i set a priority "ignore".

the case is happening everywhere; only the Longrange Command seems to keep a mostly by the book bombing focus. all other(NW LW W M SW).
it made my attacks spreaded and aimless;most sorties were on the interdiction missions which air directive itself prohibits and yes the interdictions are fruitless.

I wander if it's a bug or so called "feature" as i dont remember seeing this happenning in earlier versions nor did saw any relative description in the manual(nor in update log). The version im using now is 1.01.09b;

If you encountered the same thing plz also reply

oh plz plz can anyone try it once?

As a potential simple answer: is the little interdiction mission still ticked as something other than zero in the AD?

Same problem here : I ask my bombers to target units, and a significant part of them target "interdiction", at which they usually suck.

Do you have a save game you can post (pre-save so we can repeat the issue). I will move this to the tech support area. Thanks.

I’ve seen this before. You can’t do GA - unit on an area larger than 0 or it turns into interdiction after bombing units a couple of times.

Mr Billings,

Here is the pre-save; i've adjusted the missions so all those active are area GA, and unit focus only.
the password is "Trotsky".

I've asked my friends to run test having the same mission setting on different versions, and this "bug" happens on all circumstances(as long as they can fly after the first day of mission).

Regards

Yep, that bug made area designated unitattack-GA missions an unavailable option, but if we design bombing Hex by Hex that's way too much unworthy effort.

I've added this to our list to be looked at. In my test, I found the AD alternated, with first day bombing units, next day bombing empty hexes, next day bombing units, next day bombing empty hexes, etc. Thanks for the report and save.
