I am in the mission The Foundry and I have hijacked two Blisterbacks with my spartans but most of the time when I try to land them so I can use them as artillery my spartans do the ground pound and the Blisterbacks blows up. I have tried holding Y and pressing it, I have tried highlighting just the Blisterback and pressing and holding Y but I get the same thing. If I highlight the spartan it always ground pounds. Sometimes if I make them travel a good distance then come back they will land with no issue but not any more often than just pressing Y after reloading a save. I have noticed that Douglas will ground pound way more often than Alice. I am twenty minutes into this mission but have been playing for almost two hours on this mission because of reloading saves. Any advice on how to use the units how they are designed to be used and stop ground pounding?
Make sure you only have the Blisterback selected, by using Right trigger and Y to quick toggle units. The unit selection UI is in the bottom left corner of the screen. If you have both the Spartan and the Blisterback selected, it will probably give priority to the Spartan.
I tried three times just now by using the trigger to select just the Blisterback and not the spartans. Alice only destroyed her Blisterback once while Douglas destroyed his every time. This is so aggravating. With the Kodiak I can click Y somewhere on the map and when it gets there it will go into artillery mode but if I do that with my Blisterback right as it gets there GROUNDPOUND. :’(

You are spot on with this one, if the Spartan has his ground pound up, he will Ground pound instead of trying to land the Blisterback. Filing issue.
