Torpedo bombers

Post by Gota »

Is it possible to force them to fire on water?
Regular bombers can be told to just drop bombs on ampty land.
How can i make topr bombers have th same ability only with water?
torp bombers cant be talled to attack water which makes it impossible to bomb ghosted underwater buildings.

Are you sure this is an issue with torpedo bombers in general and not with one unit you were trying it with? Maybe mod maker set that unit to not be able to target ground (there is a weapon tag for it)?

Is the issue that torp bomber attacks aim at the surface of the sea? In that case you could probably do it like THIS and alter the attack order to target the bottom instead (THIS moves attack orders up to the vertical position of the unit so you can e.g. fire plasma artillery rounds at empty space and have them explode at the flight altitude of units)

Torpedos in general are extremely wonky. You'd be better off (imo) with creating a missile that had waterweapon1.
