Sitting ducks?

[chembleton]

Hi,

 

I primarily fly A2A but only recently started flying A2G but what doesn't seem very realistic to me is that when on a bombing run, I drop bombs, possibly missing some ground targets, circle back around only to find ground units and especially soldiers, not moving basically waiting to be killed. Some ground units seem to move a bit but never disperse enough.

 

IRL they would take cover and disperse. Would it be possible to add this in somehow?

 

Unless I'm playing on the wrong realism settings?

 

Thanks

The behaviour of ground units under attack can be defined by the mission maker. There is actually a setting "disperse under fire".

By default, ground units will hold in place (or keep moving if already in motion) for 600 seconds before dispersing.

 

As mentioned, this can be adjusted in the mission editor.

Thanks for this! I've never dabbled with the mission editor to be honest so will give it a try.
