v1.07 Build 1487

My Spanish Eurofighters have Meteor WRA automatic firing range set to 50% of max (in the 'Air Superority' patrol mission), but as you can see they still fire at maximum firing range. Am I doing something wrong?

Logged #16395

I've had this happen often, I have to go into the WRA options and specifically select 50% (not just leaving it at 50% automatic). I'm not sure it's still an issue with build 1500 though, I've gone in manually and changed anything that can hit air targets.

Can you please clarify a little?

Is the value of 50ofmax already given by default in the scenario?

So in most scenarios they have "System default, 50% of max" and I found this wasn't being respected, at least by aircraft, but it was when I changed it to "50% of max (XXnm)" or anything else.

I just tried in the AAW 4 tutorial and the F-15Is fired the AIM120-C7 at ~60nm, even though the WRA says "System default, 50% of max" and once I change it to "50% of max (32nm)" they fire at the correct distance.

Edit: this is in build 1500 to clarify

I guess this bug is related to scenario rebuilt. setting the WRA to 50% during the scenario rebuilt will change the WRA setting but the game won't read the correct distance.

True, but the bug has been there for almost a year. Since v1.06 1328.12 at least

Hi,

any news on this issue? Or has anybody found a workaround?

I know I can change manually my WRA, but what about the "other side"? that is, without changing sides and spoiling some of the fun

Thanks!

We didn't forget about it, it has just caught up with other changes/fixes in the doctrine so it is being a little bit more complicated but hopefully we will have a fix ready soon...

Thanks for the heads up!

Hello, this turned out to be a multi part issue and took a bit to identify and fix properly.

That said, it is now fixed and will no longer be present in the next CMO hotfix or release.

Great news! and thanks!

Hi, While i get the setting for 50% of range, the Meteor is slightly different in that it has an on board engine not a rocket motor so it can fly to 100% at full speed with less drop in speed/performance.

You can set up WRA on a per weapon and per target basis. So you can set the Meteor to fire at a longer range against slower and less maneuverable targets. Remember that you can also set the WRA to match the NEZ.
