[WAD B1728] Strike mission: 4 planes, one flight, one target, iron bombs

I really like the strike planner and I’m trying to get the most out of it after studying the manual and reading some forum discussion.

To test it, I set up a long-range strike mission: the Ouadi Doum 1986 French Jaguar attack on a Libyan airbase in Chad.
I ran some tests with 4 aircraft, after a long trip involving tanker support. Everything worked nicely, but at the decisive moment only the lead plane attacked with the BAP-100 anti-runway bombs at low altitude.

Some notes:
• 4 Jaguars in a single flight with a complex flight plan (flight size = 4)
• The 4 planes should all attack the runway access point together, dropping all bombs in one pass. WRA = all bombs per target and 1x shooter (I also tried 4 shooters).


I made several tests, but unfortunately only the lead aircraft engaged the target, while the other three returned with their full bomb load. Maybe I’m missing something?

I already checked this interesting discussion for guidance, although it focuses on a different issue.

Should you not post the save before the strike?

Thanks, that was immediately after the strike (only one plane releases bombs). That's the previous situation

With the Single Axis Stacked Attack method in strike mission settings, all four planes released their iron bombs on a single target

Just tested with the latest internal build, it's working as intended. All 4 aircraft attack as intended, no changes needed to the mission setup.

I made my tests with build 1706 and it worked (all four planes in a flight released all their iron bombs on a single target) only with Single Axis Stacked Attack method in strike mission settings.
