bank angle in ME

[Black6]

I’d appreciate the possibility to set desired bank agle for each waypoint. It will prevent AI of attempting to make tight turns (60° bank) during cruise flight at high levels – what usually lead to loss of speed, height, time and lot of fuel to get back on route.

Not that I'm against your wish, but personally I think manual editing of this sort is not the best solution to deal with AI shenanigans. Imho proper overal AI improvement is the only way to get rid of their silly behavior (such as fuel consumption and erratic movement).

 

Luckily ED is aware of this and they are working actively on AI, as for instance this patch note indicates:

• Fighter AI. Adjusted the formation mechanism to prevent fighters from making large and abrupt maneuvers when reforming.

Small side note; I can imagine that being able to set bank angles for tankers, would be very interesting though

2 hints which could help to achieve this right now in DCS:

1. in aerobatic commands there should be something like bank turn to set precisely

2. make 1-3 smaller sub-waypoints to smooth out the turn
