Targeting specific buildings?

Post by Scoose »

Hi, I am having problems targeting specific buildings when firing missiles from bombers/aircraft, I havent tried with sea units but from aircraft I cannot pick which building I want to hit, it just auto targets the main complex and does not give me the choice. Is this the way it is meant to be or amI doing something wrong?

Thanks
Pete.

6 days and no answer?
All that I want is for you to tell me if firing cruise missiles can i target an anti aircraft site or barracks, or is it meant to be that I cannot choose. If i can choose can you tell me how please then I will know if my game is bugged and if it is I can send you a save game. Thanks Pete.

Your not alone. It seems the ability to target specific facilities was removed, or just hasn't been reimplemnted.
Whats worse is that if there are any units on a hex.. you cannot target any facility and are forced to target units instead.

Definitely on my wish list. You have my full support in poking the devs to fix this. :wink:

Thanks mate, thats all I wanted to know was to make sure I wasnt being a tool :P.
Really miss it, do your cruise missiles hit units at a city or complex before they hit the complex?

When you choose fire missile.. if there are units in a hex it brings up the list of units and forces you to choose one, you can't just target the hex. Since facilities aren't included in the target list like they were in 2020 you have no choice but to target a unit.

Couldn't agree more. Until we hear anything from BG on it I'll poke around and see if this is something I can implement. :wink:

Would love to be able to help but my only modding experience only went as far as changing Missile Fabs produce 10 missiles instead of 1 :P. Ofcourse if you need help testing anything I would be more than happy to offer my services :D goodluck mate.

Well.. as far as I can tell.. no current order allows you to target a specific building. Even sabotage just targets the hex in general and you get a building at random. |O
Best I can figure so far is maybe make a separate order to target facilities only. Which would by pass the being forced to target units, but you still wouldn't be able to select the specific facility you wanted to target. Similar to how bomb facility works now.

(If i played more and modded less I woulda been complaining about this sooner.)

I did not know that this was a thing in cold war.

That said - I look forward to targeting air defenses.

It wasn't in cold war, it was in 2020 they left it out of cw onwards :(
