Capn kamikaze Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 Why is it that AI F-15 wingmen only ever fire one missile, at one target, I've never seen them ever fire on more than one at once, getting pretty sick of their AI, there we are closing on a pair of Su-27's, and instead of us both firing on both contacts using TWS, it seems the AI is only firing on one target, no matter if I command engage my target (since I have both on TWS he should logically attack both, not just my PTD) or if I command engage bandits, which sounds like its a bit more free. Is there any way to get AI wingmen to take advantage of their AIM-120's and TWS, this seems incredibly unrealistic at the moment.

In TWS they do indeed only focus on one target, as they simply don't have to logic for multi-target engagements. That might also be connected to the AI logic that only fires a single missile and won't follow up until its obvious that it failed to intercept. Don't feel too bad since the enemy AI is equal as broken. The only way to get around it is to wait for them to confirm engaging your PDT, then drop the lock to engage the other yourself. http://104thphoenix.com/
Capn kamikaze Posted October 14, 2017 Author Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) It's really annoying me since I prefer SP to MP, and do a lot of mission building, and to use your wingmen effectively it's impossible at the moment. Ideally I'd like my wingman to have his PDT as being my secondary target and his SDT as being my PDT if they're close enough, so we both fire on each then wait 5-10 seconds and then fire again, this time at each others SDT.
