AI Employment of AGM-65E

[Habu_69]

In the past I have been frequently disappointed with AI performance, but I have been pleasantly surprised at F/A-18C AI ability to employ the AGM-65E, at least in my SP testing. I tested most all advance WP attack options and found one that works consistently: PERFORM TASK/ATTACK GROUP. With both a single wingman and a section, with a lased moving or stationery target, giving the command PERFORM MISSION AND REJOIN (F6), those guys will ATTACK. Using CTLD JTACAutoLase, which quickly and automatically shifts the laser, the wingmen will repeatedly reattack to expend all their weapons and/or kill all available targets. Player need not configure his own aircraft for attack, just order the target lased then order attack.

 

 

I was unable to persuade AI to employ AGM-65E using other attack WP and comms menu options. They would simply fly to the target, then rejoin.
