Can't Fire RIM at suface target

Post by Chris21wen »

The situation is I have a Nanuchka damaged by Hellfires. The briefing says I can fire the RIM at a surface target and the database confirms that surface targets are legal.

The pic shows the situation when I try to manually fire them along with the ship's WRA. So to fire on a surface target I inherit the permission from the scenarios WRA. This says 'System default, 2 rnds'. At this point I'm at a loss to understand why I can't fire the RIM. Any help or guidance in my understanding will be appreciated.

Go to the doctrine window and change the "use SAM's in anti-surface mode" setting to yes, now you can fire SAM's against surface targets

Literally 10 seconds searching SAM and surface gave me the answer with a couple results of the top.

That's what happens if you have a recent PhD in phytopathology and your either over or under qualified for every single job you apply for, you spend your time playing command and trolling the site as a distraction.... :(

I was looking under WRA for the answer and not the general tab.   This however does not answer the question entirely.  What does the term 'System default' refer too?

The system default number means the number of weapons fired at once at certain types of targets until its destroyed, this setting only applies to weapons automatically fired if the doctrine allows for automatic fire and allows to use SAMs in surface attack mode.
