Mytheos Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 How do I do it? (lol) I cant seem to figure out how to fire missiles and cannons? I can click on the weapon and it turns red, right and left clicking doesnt seem to do anything... The keyboard setup shows pressing 1-5 as firing a locked missile. I dont see any missile locks? And pressing 1-5 doesnt do anything. It is probably something stupid obvious but I havent fired off the first shot yet 8-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterLock Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Clicking a missile or cannon and making it red means it will not fire until you click on the icon again... As I heard air combat is a little bit tricky in v19.2 in the sense that UFO's are extremely hard to shoot down.They are ace in avoinding missiles from far away.So you do need to lock the missiles until you get into range(closer) then release them.

Mytheos Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Yeah I read that too. But again, I dont even know how to fire them, or anything for that matter. V18 it was all auto, now my planes just fly towards the alien craft, do nothing and die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Hi, it's changes a bit in 19.2 Let's take a Fighter as an example. I've launched a Foxtrot at it, with 2 Alenium torpedoes. When they engage, I set one of the missiles to Red and the Second click until Green. For this one, I put on the afterburner, but not really necessary. The missile that's coloured green won't fire until it hits it's range against the Fighter. It will launch automatically. The sneaky fighter will roll to avoid your first missile. So, wait a second or so and press the red missile to green and then click again to Launch it. It flies after the rolling fighter and takes it out as it can't roll again. Your ability to fire should also be affected if you have rolled, in a Condor or other craft. The autocannon should also be clicked to green. The ranges seem to have changed a bit in this build, as I use them less than I used to. So, you have to get up pretty close to see them in action. Hope that helped.

Mytheos Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Its working now, I restarted the game a few times. I dont know what it was but I lost 4-5 planes without them firering off a shot, and I understand the red/green weapon fire away / hold fire. They would just be playing chicken with the UFO and I would fly right through them doing nothing with all weapons green. Must have just been some goofy bug I guess?
