Fighters won't launch tornado missiles
Back in X3TC I had a fighter wing loaded with tornadoes, which was very effective against capital ships. Now playing AP, I've set up a similar wing, but no matter what I do, the fighters won't fire the tornadoes.
Any suggestions?

Missile probability 80%, tried 100%, same result.Earth ultimatum IV. wrote:Missile probability?
Also make sure you have weapons installed. They won´t fire missiles if they have no lasers installed.
They fire all other missiles, just not tornadoes. If they only have tornadoes installed, they won't fire them.

AP does not launch dumbfire missiles against moving targets. A fighter will launch Tornadoes at a station, but not at a ship. (The fighter will not even launch Tornadoes against an M2, which is pretty close to a stationary target. )
I did multiple tests of several missile types in both TC and AP. I compared the differences (and similarities) in this post: Falcon Bombers.

Pity though, it was fun watching my falcons blowing up the enemies. I wish I read your post before I built tornado complex. I guess I can always sell them.
Plan B is to use tempests. I prefer them over thunderbolts because they are retargetable. And i already have tons of them...
