AI & BVR in general

[skywalker22]

Did quite some tests agaist AI in BVR engagement with multiple aircrafts (with mods, no mods), and I have to say AI is not good at all in 1st BVR engagement. They just do not shoot fox3 missiles - at all! AI is all set CAP task.

Is there anything I can do, to make them better? Or is this downside of the newly updated AI in dogfighting, which made them worse on longer distances?

Can you guys confirm that, or is it just me doing something wrong?

Default tasks like "CAP" are pretty useless. You should use Search Then Engage, etc, with options.

Another problem is that ED added some attack options to tasks by default but one of the options for air to air makes zero sense. It's the randomize missile launch range. It can force the AI to wait until WVR to fire BVR missiles.

I asked them to fix the issue, but got no reply, maybe it would help if more people were talking about it:
