AI flight refueling/rearming

[sirrah]

I'm pretty sure I've seem this wish before, but I can't find it anymore.

 

Would be great if we could make our AI wingman to land, refuel/rearm and take off again. (Or does anyone maybe know a workaround to achieve this?)

 

 

Problem I encounter very often is this:

• I'm entering a target area
  
• Me and my AI flight members are engaged by some minor SAM threat (easy to defend with some chaff and an evasive dive)
  
• My AI friends instantly jettison their payloads (even when skill is set to excellent)
  
• I kill the SAM threat
  
• I engage ground targets with my remaining ordnance
  
• My fellow AI buddies just fly alongside me, looking at me doing the work, whilst being completely useless :P
  

 

Or sometimes there are simply so much ground targets, that it would help if my AI flight members can also rearm back at base.

 

No top priority for me (I much rather see weather system improvements), but are there any (long term) plans to improve wingman AI?

Ok, I didn't know that. I'll check it out :thumbup:

The best workaround is Post #12 here (https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=111036&page=2).

 

If you want different armament possibilities you would need to set up different client flights with the different armaments and choose the one that you would be rearming to.
