Turn maxattempts up to like 3 or 4 instead of 1.

[Airstriker]

Try looking at the coding for the A10 Strike.

[Dibelius]

yeah it has something to do with "MaxAttempts" I think. Increase the value of it. Or you must modify the Napalm Striker Jet itself a little bit.

[SmokeyDaBear]

k i will increase the max attempts to 100

[NukeWinter]

Making it that high may cause the jets to fly strangely, if it works then leave it alone, but if it causes them to circle or something, change it to 5. I remember a problem similar to this and the maxattempts setting made the jets do all kinds of wierd things.

[SmokeyDaBear]

lol...k i will keep that in mind
