[Miska]

Can anybody tell me how to make backfires attack on airport
i make weapon loadout as strike and they only fly over the airport.
I make script engage airport by aircraft 19 with best weapon -1 sec

I´ve had the same problem with harriers before. (They also used to fall of the sky until I gave them a tremendous speed.) By playing with the doctrines and scripts I had some success, but eventually used the following:
Make 1 (or 2 in case one gets shot down) aircraft TRANSIT over the target, and at a suitable distance use scripts "add effect /explosion" and "add effect/fire" on your target, and finally "remove platform" on your target. This enables you to continue with the story in all cases.
(The airports can sustain a lot of damage, so sometimes it is useful to use this script to "complete" the damage made by players, for instance.)

Take a look at my Red Storm Rising mission, POLAR GLORY (available at a link in the 'announcements' area of the 'Dangerous Waters' topic). It includes an air-launched missile strike against an airfield, just as you are trying to do. I include scripts to add special effects (explosions & smoke).

(In fact, I've used a few 'tricks' to make the attack even more impressive... see if you can find them!)

Ok. now it's working thanks Bill. in my mission Akula's mission is locate and mark all SAM batteries and then backfires will attack agains those batteries. But now even the first battery is destroyed the rest of the missiles are still homing on it. I even try trigger "if SAM1 damage==100% then" and script "remove object SAM1" but then game crashes to desktop.

Do you mean those audio files? They sounds very good!
