AI does not know how to dive bomb!?

Has anyone seen an AI aircraft actually dive bomb a target? I see the AI only flying level and suddenly dropping the bombs - although it should be impossible for the pilot to see the target at all.

 

I noticed this first for the AI MiG-21, but after some tests with the Fw 190, F-86, P-51 and even the A-10C it seems that the AI is generally not able to properly conduct a dive bomb attack. All aircraft were loaded with only dumb iron bombs and none had any other aiming aids equipped (i.e. no TGP in case of the A-10C). I had set them up for the CAS role with either "Group Attack", "Unit Attack" and even "Bombing" of different targets.

 

But my understanding is, that the AI should be able to do that. There are several, hrm, "behaviours" defined in the LUAs that seem to be used for attack profiles for different weapons (...\Scripts\AI\Tasks):

 

  • Approach.lua
  • Cannon_Ground_Attack.lua
  • Dive_Bombing.lua
  • Follow_Eight_Digit_Figure.lua
  • Follow_Line.lua
  • Follow_Vector.lua
  • Follow_Vector_Old.lua
  • Level_Bombing.lua
  • Missile_Ground_Target_Attack.lua
  • Missile_Ground_Target_Level_Attack.lua
  • Rocket_Attack.lua

 

So, do I miss something here or why does the AI fail to dive bomb? Is this a bug?
