They do not use them in the same way on aircraft that they do on surface vehicles...

Anyone have any idea about this? I am attempting to get an AI aircraft to use both cannon and missiles, or rockets on the ground target at the same time like a surface vehicle would do, but am not having any luck...

Secondary fire may only work with aircraft guns. I made the 37mm cannon on my MiG-17 secondary so it could fire at the same time the 23mm cannons were fired (they fire automatically if the nose of the plane is facing its target), and I think it works but I'm not sure.

well I can not get more then just cannon to fire at the same time... I have tried a second cannon(rear facing turret, to engage targets as the aircraft exits the area, but it only fires on other enemy aircraft, not ground, until all other munitions have been expended), I will have to check more into that. However on vehicles missiles and cannons will fire at the same time. But not aircaft (so far)

Secondary is checked to all it to use it at the same time as primary. You can set rockets to secondary as I have done and it'll fire guns and rockets at the same time. Awesome when the AI takes out a convoy. Setting all air-to-air cannons to secondary would allow it to use it no matter what, which would probably be better, don't know never tried it, but I was told I should have done that with GR6. Any insight?

Well I did some futher testing and found that when you set aircraft cannons to secondary they fire it whenever NEAR the target, not necessarily lined up with it! This results in lost ammunition and ineffective guns. I did like the way that the attack aircraft will engage seperate targets with guided missiles then what they are shooting rockets or dropping bombs on. What I do not like is the wasted ammunition of rockets and bombs(when both are set to secondary) on the same target.

Still testing to see if there is a possible solution. I already mainly solved the anti tank missile problem of impacting the same targets as bombs, by adjusting the minimum ranges to exceed that of the effective range of the bombs....
