Playing the drone scenario, when I try to use the AH-64 gun against terrorist groups, the gun is not engaged to ground targets! (I think it should be also the case in the 30mm GAU-8 burst of the A-10 Warthog).

 

I think I remember air-to-ground guns were desactived some time ago, but I'm not sure ...

If this is the case, we must replace air-to-ground guns in the DBs with the gun variants as ordnance (as 30mm Mk4 Aden, as instance) ...

This is what I was driving at here:

A test scenario would be much appreciated.

My idea is the air-to-ground option was deleted to avoid near suicide attacks (by the IA controlled player) with any plane armed with a gun against a well defended target with effective ground-to-air missiles or guns, but I'm not sure.

I want to make some test scenario to this and other issue ...

I don't think we deactivated air-to-ground guns, or at least I cannot find any mention of that in the Release Notes.

Test scenario attached in the issue tracker: http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?/tracker/issue-20-has-been-deleted-the-air-to-ground-capacity-of-aircrafts-guns/

I haven't had time to sort out a proper report (and don't have a scenario editor running at the moment) but today using 2009.95 GE the old gremlin of strike aircraft proceeding to the target after missile launch to strafe with canon returned (to loss of many aircraft )

If no one beats me to it I'll try to put a show together and report.

 

PS the strafing did work by the way.
