AI wingmen reporting state endlessly in 2.5.6

[REDEYE_CVW-66]

WW2 (Probably modern- but don't know):

Engage a group of enemy fighters with a flight of 4 friendlies:

"2, engaging bandit...."

"2, engaging bandit...."

"2, engaging bandit...."

"2, engaging bandit...."

"2, engaging bandit...."

.... etc. Every 2 seconds.

 

Modern:

Wingman call out radar contacts without discretion. In a busy environment they positively never shut up. I am not saying that they say alot- I am saying that they never stop. It is a constant drone of contact reporting.

Yeah, it's annoying and unrealistic, but there's a workaround. I set up all allied flights to not report contacts, via the Advanced actions on the Waypoints tab in the Mission Editor. IMO, they should enable this behavior by default, like they did with the radar activation once airborne and if the mission maker wants reports from everyone, they can enable them.

I've seen this many times!

 

This happens to me when I say COVER ME!!! If you just say ATTACK BANDITS, this repetition doesn't happen. So, don't use COVER ME - use ATTACK BANDITS. This will fix your problem - it is a bug I've just dealt with for 4 years now.
