Unless Mikhayl's Mod was installed?
There are no Luftwaffe recue buoys in GWX any version.

Darksun, in a post on 07-16-2006, has an excellent guide for setting up intercepts. Generally, intercepts of something over 100 km away have a fairly low success rate, unless they are heading pretty much for you (and then, perhaps not, as they change course).

Desirableroasted poseted this, can I get a link to this thread or post its in so I can see it?? ive been havin trouble with interception lately. lol its been a while since ive played this game.

I think the general consensus was that it wouldn't work (maybe there's actually a stock bug that borks up the whole thing no matter what ammo you've got). Can't remember that I ever actually tried it, though, just to see for myself.

Oh hey, you know I just tried this and it worked.

Changed the basic.cfg so the standard loadout gives us 1 rd AP in the standard loadout, and deducted 1 rd from the HE. I ordered the gun manned and told them to fire at will and I swear they started shooting without me having to go down there and tell them which ammo to use.

Altho that was only in the Academy artillery test so I have yet to see if it will work the same on patrol.

High school trig, but it works.

Fantastic.

I'd actually forgotten I'd made the edit until they started firing.

*sniff*

My little crew is all grown up and loading shells all by themselves!
