Did you try Primary= instead of Secondary ?

But I don't know if primary missiles (if hornets have a primary) which still attacks to the ground ?

Ah! At first, do you use Ares dll. ? Because in vanilla YR, aircrafts are not allowed to attack air, only ground.Hornets are aircraft,so they can't attack air while they are in the air.

I see, it won't work unless it's in the Primary=.

Also it seems to refuse to use the projectile in the Secondary= anti-ground weapon.

IIRC Secondary are always used as AA weapon, unless it cannot target air units.

I believe AircraftTypes use the Projectile of their Primary weapon for both Primary and Secondary weapons.

If you're using Ares, then you can add a few new duplicate armor types, and use them exclusively for airborne units. Using armor types to decide what can fire on what is much more reliable, and lets you fine tune different airborne targets (like satellites, low-flying infantry/helicopters, high-altitude bombers, fighters, even stealth units).

Have already been using ares armor codes for ground units but i will probably also use it for helicopters etc.
