making AI drop bombs from planes

[Muddy Waters]

how do i get the ai to drop bombs from aircraft? im using the world war 2 planes from the packaged set that was released recently and want the ai to drop bombs on a town before my squad assaults

Don't know if the plane is armed with bombs, but you could ofcourse camcreate the bomb right under the plane once you need it.

If the planes pack came with a readme then you can probably find the ammo name and use a dofire command.

Either you could use a search and destroy waypoint or similar, together with fire at will etc with only a bomb payload (i havent tested that)

Or you can use a trigger(or waypoint)  and the  "fire" command (   unit fire ["muzzlename","ammo"]  ).

You could possibly tie that with gamelogics tied to waypoints etc for a bit of extra effect like flying enemies, secondary explosions and similar)

Could do the above with coded scripts also - but im clueless on that part, why i mention gamelogics.

AFAIK I don't think the AI uses bombs as weapons towards anything. Like I removed an A10LGBs 30mm ammo and made it fly in a S&K WP around a platoon of T80s and it did nothing. I dunno about those WWII aircraft but the LGBs need a laser target to be dropped by the pilot.  

I'm pretty sure they didn't have laser designators in 1944 though.
