I know 99% of you guys are air to air only, and could careless about air to ground. I stopped playing clod due to the inconsistencies in the maps , not all the other problems. Now things are running better, thanks for all the hard work. But, all the maps are the same briefing but the targets are not the same.

This is why I stopped playing before the recent change and fixes. I got feed up with spawning an axis bomber, or 110, or the one and only bomber in the allied arsenal, and flying an attempting to find the ground target, yet it does not exist. For instance, b 5.6, now one would think that would be column b, row 5 with the target at the 6 o'clock position of the box. I just got off the server and there is no target there. I am only using that as one example, it is a common problem, and have run into it many times. It really sucks that on some maps the targets do not exist, yet they are in the briefing.

If I really wanted to just fly around for an hour, I would simply use flight X or m$ flight simulator. I know you guys are working hard at trying to sort out the clusterfuck of CLOD. But for the sake of those of us that do like to fly air to ground missions, I know we are only 1%, but could you please only have targets in the briefing that actually exist.

I am not attempting to take away from what has been accomplished, I am simply stating my experience with the inconsistency with the missions, which has nothing to do with the flight model at all. I know everyone is doing their best to get clod where it should have been years ago, but could you please not put targets in the briefing that do not exist. It really ruins the experience for those of us that take the time to up a bomber, from a far away base, and spend a lot of time climbing and avoiding the ace wannabee's, just to get to a target that does not exist.

are you sure you know what to look for? we just rolled the map and b5 was the last target hit. I fly 80% in the 110 and the briefs are correct. Perhaps they have been hit already before you show up? Inland targets are a little harder to find but there are few tricks for easier navigation. Ground pounders are very rare on red that's for sure, blue has a small but healthy population. if you want some help online just give a shout.

It's funny because me and Keller bombed b5.6 in HE111 at high altitude yesterday , there's nothing wrong with the targets.

Could it be your navigation is off? B5.6 is column B, row 5, num-pad position 6 (according to the arrangement of keys on your num pad). So position 6 is actually the right-middle side of B6, not the 6 o'clock (bottom) of B6.

B5.6 = Map quadrant B x 5, "key pad" quadrant 6

Bingo!

Allied pilots have a similar problem (unless it has been fixed recently) We have two almost identical maps that both mention the fuel dump at Estree (E of Le Touquet) as a target in the first part of the briefing but it only exists on one of the maps. http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2129&highlight=estree

On my squad we fly all bomber planes in the game.

And no encountered problem to destroy all target on the map.:)
