AI Mirage 2000 engage multiple targets with S530

[gavagai]

The AI Mirage 2000C pilots can engage multiple targets as if they're firing Fox-3 from TWS. In this track the AI Mirage 2000C shoots down two Mig-23s, one second apart from each other, with two S530 missiles.

Yeah, it happened to me too, I was very jealous :lol:

I'm used to seeing AIs do weird things...Weird damage model, landing without wings, rudder and gear, but that definitively tops it XD

[Gliptal]

Yep, I had this happening as well.

Unfortunately AI behavior is beyond our control. So you will have to be cautious with them.

Or use them as my secret weapon!:gun_smilie:

I think it's because the M2000 radar is declared as TWS capable for the AI so it use it the same way as the F-15C. If you can (or ED) declare it as only STT radar capable it will solve the issue.

I don't know, Su 27 is TWS & Fox 1 shooter too.

How is defined AI Su 27 ?

What about F-15 loaded with AIM-7 ?

[nomdeplume]

Hm, I did a quick test with one F-15C vs 4x MiG-29A and the F-15 never launched more than one missile at a time. For AIM-7 or AIM-120.

 

Switched it to a M-2000C and it also only launched one S530 at a time. It did launch the second one immediately after the first impacted.

 

What situations does the AI actually engage with multiple missiles?

 

I see the track is on an AI wingman, so maybe that changes things? But when I watched the track both shots missed and you both died without scoring any kills.

 

Possible bug: it seems if the AI M-2000C has its "A-A missile engagement range" option set to "Launch within no-escape zone" it will never launch S-530's. Setting it to half-way NEZ/max range allowed it to fire. Tried with a head-on against the MiG-29A's which were only armed with R-60, and they always fired first. Was a highly effective setting for the F-15C with AIM-7.

It happened to me in Quick Start"Missile combat.

I assigned to my wingman the leader MiG 23 and zi engaged the wingman.

 

He shot at both the MiG 23 so we did a double kill on the wingman.

Both 530 were guided to separated target at the same time and did impact few seconds apart.

Almost sounds like the AI is switching between targets continuously and using the re-acquire capability of the missiles to guide them both.

 

AI having instantaneous reflexes and perfect control would have no problem... ;)
