"Passive" wingmen and enemy AI aircraft of stock missions (carrier defense daytime)

[itarrow]

Going back to stock missions after finishing the wonderful Vulcan Forge campaign, doing the A2A mission "Carrier Defense - Daytime" on 2.5.1 Open Beta.

 

Wingmen don't join up and simply orbit the carrier, while enemy aircrafts (SU24s) don't engage back me nor defend themselves when I attack them. BTW it seems they're unnaturally resistant to AIM9 and guns (it takes a lot of direct hits to simply damage them without splashing them).

 

Anybody else flown this mission on 2.5.1 and saw those weird behaviours ?

at least i can report that for the day pinpoint strike mission, the AI wingman didn't takeoff after I departed. He said 'rolling' but didn't move. I came back after the mission and the deck was clear...presumably he crashed later on takeoff.

Hi,

 

I noticed the same thing in the pinpoint strike mission.

 

I'm working on my own mission with a takeoff from a moving Tarawa. After my wingman reports rolling, he just stays in one spot while the Tarawa moves out from under him.
