The strange case of the coward Chaparral

[NightMan]

I just set up a mission with a Ka-50 on the Red side and two units on the Blue side; one Avenger and one Chaparral.

I made sure these two units had an excellent skill and were fully alert!

As I close in with the Kamov, eventually the Chaparral engages me and fires one missile, which misses.

After that he stops pointing his missiles at me and simply gives up.

Could we be before a case of a coward AI driver?!

I proceed to the Avenger which proves a bit harder to defeat.

When I play your track, I see what you saw (Chaparral fires once, then kind of sleeps). I then played your mission, and the Chaparral shot at me twice.

 

I then created new missions and there was no issue with the Chaparral.

Well; undetermined then?

The best way to detect/prove an issue with a unit is to show it perform next to a similar unit (Strela, for instance). I'm away from my PC right now. Can you make this kind of track with Invincible helicopters and aircraft passing by?
