Title: The Kamikaze tag.
Post by: Stunaep on May 18, 2003, 11:17:53 am

So, i set a wing of ships to be 'kamikaze'. Then I order them to attack the ship, I want them to kamikaze in to. And what do they do? they just go, shoot at it, but never slam into it. WHY, oh lord, WHY?

I can't recall any kamikaze flag problems the scant few times I've used it. Don't think it works against small ships though, if that's what you're trying.

Yes, that is implied when he mentioned setting a wing... Anyway, not really sure why they aren't shooting, though kamikaze Fenris are always fun.

I cannot recall having any trouble with the kamikaze ship feature. Try getting rid of their weapons or disarming them and see what they do. :D

put a waypoint inside the area ofte target ship you wan't, set the wing to kamakazie, and order them to waypoints-once... If you move the waypoint around, you could have fighters hit "weakpoints" like a thn point or vital subsys's
