AI prioritise parked aircraft as if they were flying

I've had some issues with AI SEAD aircraft stopping their SEAD task to do strafing runs on AI aircraft that had landed earlier and parked. I can only assume this is because they are treating them as a higher threat, but its generally resulting in my SEAD aircraft being gunned down by ZU-23s because they will strafe the parked aircraft and not deal with the ZU-23s. Usually by this stage they are out of missiles, but if they are going to strafe something they should be attacking their assigned priority target(s).

I've also had F-15Cs break off from engaging enemy aircraft (that are in the air) to do gun passes on parked aircraft, or in some cases launch AAMs at them... the latter of which has no effect. Waste of ammo. Note setting 'restrict ground attack' didn't stop them, so I can only assume they AI thinks they are airborne and just not moving.

I've worked around the problem by making the aircraft go 'invisible' at a waypoint just before landing. They're still there for player(s) to attack, but now the AI leave them alone and get on with their missions.

I'd rather keep the aircraft open as an option for ground attack, but not be seen as the same kind of threat as an airborne aircraft... and also that when 'restrict ground attack' is turned on, they are definitely not attacked.

Have a mission or track where this behavior is reliably replicated?

Hi.... work is pretty solid for me right now so please give me a day or so and I will come back to you. I wish there was a track editor because its a lot to sit through (on my current mission) just to get to the important part.

I do have some video of an F-14A doing strafing runs... admittedly its on aircraft on the runway that have stopped as the runway has been bombed, but its the same thing. Note the F-14 has been set with option 'Restrict Air-To-Ground attack' = yes. Its mission is fighter sweep, but have had F-15C cap aircraft doing it as well, and F-16C SEAD as mentioned literally strafing aircraft in between AAA emplacements.

Track file coming within 24 hrs.

Hi

I recorded a video, however in my haste I forgot to save the track file. Sorry there is no audio... windows didn't record it for some reason I have to look into.

Here's the key points in the video:

5m10s F-15 Attacks taxiing MiG-23 with an AAM

7m20s F-15 Attacks parked SU-24

8m8s F-14 shoots taxiing MiG with an AAM

8m43s F15 Attempts to strafe taxiing MiG but aborts

9m5s F-14 strafes parked SU-24

9m24s F-14 attempts strafing

9m35s F10 map shown to show MiG-29s in the air well within detection range

10m47s F-15 strafes parked A/C

11m18s F-14 strafing run

12m22s F-15 strafes dead MiG

13m30s F-14 strafes dead MiG

13m45s F-14 strafes dead MiG and crashes with the ground (AI target fixation??)

14m40s F-15 RTBs at low level, but doesn't crash (see below)

18m F-14 RTBs at v low level

20m16s above F-14 crashes into a hill due to insufficient pull-up

20m50s F-14 continues to strafe Dead MiG.... should have RTBd as no fighters in the air nearby (and mig on the ground is dead!)
