SU-33 campaign, 1st mission (at night): Wingman AI

[TheCabal]

Hello guys,

 

I started a SU-33 Campaign which drops me into the lead-position of a 4 ship formation during pure night.

 

 

My 1st task is to urgently land on a nearby base, rearm and then fight off bandits. My first thought:

 

 

Ok, I need to land, my wingmen need to land, "roll somewhere" to rearm… and then we all take off. I knew that this will be a mess. So... I told tower that I'm Inbound, requested clearance to land… all ok... BUT then:

 

 

Wingman AI behaviour

 

- Instead of going around the airbase… they flew insanely near beside me while at finals, almost stalling almost bumping my wing. I found out later that one wingman crashed.

 

- When I landed and... randomly rolled somewhere to halt and rearm… I always got the "Blabla REJOIN" message repeating all the time from number 2.

 

- I switched to my wingman via F2 to see what the heck he is doing…. gears, down, he approaches and then suddenly aborts the landing and goes around… always repeating that he is rejoining and aborting to land….

 

Any advice? What am I doing wrong? How do get them to land and rearm? Is this done automatically? Where do I taxi and where will my wingmen taxi (if they manage to land)? Will they be rearmed too? After rearm, will they start taxiing to the runway when I request to take off?

 

This mission messed my brain up completely. I knew from the start… AI wingman for such tasks means only one: Problems.

 

Greetings,

Cabal

Don't you get mission complete just by landing that mission?:huh:

Yes, I only remember landing and combat on the second sortie

Oh ok. My bad, but still: why didn’t they land? 1 wingman crashed, the other one aborting finals and telling me to rejoin all the time. I was concentrating too much in it...
