this might actually be a different problem. Or maybe it's the same. Hard to say for sure.

What's going on in this mission is the missiles are being shutdown for hitting the water. BUT, in some cases, DW can treat missiles striking on land as if they've hit water, if its close enough to the coast. In other words, TLAMs suck on the coast. It doesn't help that the target is actually on the water.

I'm going to see if I can find a way to hit this thing by playing around a little. So far setting it to hit 500yd inland isn't working, but maybe if I alter the flight path a bit...

I might have to seriously consider giving the TLAMs an upgrade to TACTOMs for 3.10. That might be a solution to this problem---to allow the weapon to home in on coastal objects the same way it would for a ship (which would also give the weapon some ASUW capability as well)
