"Attack my target/SPI" for AI wingman

[Nealius]

I'm having issues with AI wingman attacking targets 10~15 miles away from our tasked target, and frequently targeting groups of 4~5 vehicles a distance away from large groups of 15 vehicles that I'm engaging. Can we get an "attack my target" or "attack my SPI" command so the AI are actually useful?

[LeCuvier]

Not sure if maybe I misunderstand you, but I think we already have that option.

Give your wing man the following commands:

1. Engage with...

2. Select "Armor" or whatever you want him to engage

3. Select the weapon, e.g. "Missile"

4. Select "Default". This is your SPI

[Nealius]

Given the cardinal directions listed below "Default," that should be attacking from a "default" direction. Perhaps from wherever he happens to be at the moment of the command instead of circling around to attack from the North/South/East/West.

[LeCuvier]

You seem to believe that I don't know what I'm talking about? When you select 1 (= "Default") the message to wingman is "... at my SPI".

I have used it many times.

[Nealius]

No, I'm confused by ED's inaccurate nomenclature in the comms menu. If "Default" were changed to "at my SPI" then I wouldn't be asking these questions.

 

Nor would I be asking them if ED made an updated manual explaining the AI comms *shrugs*

Definitely wish ED was clearer on this, I could've used this on may occasions but I didn't know about it... I hope when they finally revamp the comms system or at least add more relevant features they try and explain the madness to the masses...

Another offender is MiG-21, the commands are all over the place. Ka-50 is closer to standard in this regard, didn't notice any differences in other modules.

DCS 2.8 "attack my target" and "my enemy menus" no longer work. OUTDATED

So instead of fixing it, ED decided to leave option avalable in comms menu, but disabled..
