Wrecking Crew Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Hi, I have some groups that lead with a Bradley and have 6 or so Stryker MGS units -- the Stryker with the cannon. How to get these Strykers to shoot from a Tactical Commander's command? I target points that are far enough out so that it shouldn't be a question of in/out of range, and I can join in to the Stryker and shoot from the turret manually. But I cannot get the Strykers in the group to shoot using the Add Target method. I have no problems getting MLRS groups to shoot -- but those groups lead with an MLRS unit... Any ideas?

Wrecking Crew Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 What do you call those big cannons on this vehicle?

Wrecking Crew Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 I got ONE of the Strykers to shoot from the Attack Target button. But then it rested its cannon and no more action came from the group. WC Visit the Hollo Pointe DCS World server -- an open server with a variety of COOP & H2H missions including Combined Arms.

QuiGon Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Stryker MGS are NOT artillery systems. They are wheeled tank destroyers/assault guns for direct fire support. It's intend is to provide the US Army's Striker Brigade Combat Teams (SBCT) with greater firepower while still beeing a fast and lightweight vehicle based on the same modular chassis as the rest of the SBCT. The artillery variant of the Stryker would be the Stryker Mortar Carrier with a 120mm mortar, which is not available in DCS though, if I'm correct. Edited August 27, 2015 by QuiGon Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Wrecking Crew Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Well then, IMO the Stryker MGS should be parked next to any Sgt. Yorks that might still be left. The regular Stryker isn't much better with its little machine gun, only the ATGM variant seems able to get any combat job done... They get beaten so easily by BMP1s & -2s.

vicx Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I thought it would be that this unit is not an artillery unit. You should be able to change this in the LUA definitions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
