reported Blind, non-aggressive AI fighters

[Hog_driver]

Hello,

I'm experimenting a bit with the Channel Bomber Intercept mission. I replace fighter types, ammo types, change AI setting, etc.

I usually shoot down a bomber or five, get shot to pieces in the process and crash land or bail out. No sweat though, the bombers don't carry any bombs anyway, so it's just target practice.

When I'm out of action, I like watching what other planes are doing, so I just press F2 and enjoy the show. Or do I? The German fighters aren't really determined to fire at the bombers, mostly just follow them to Manston. And while the bombers are landing, some badly damaged, the Kurfursts and Doras are just lazily circling around, ignoring the fat targets just below them. All right, sometimes they shoot a bit, bit it's not turkey shooting I was hoping for.

What's going on? The landing bombers should be shredded to pieces. Setting AI to Ace doesn't help.

I could add a track file (probably broken) or a TacView file, but I encourage you to see for yourself.

Regards

I don't know if it is related, but we experienced similar on a Vietnam server yesterday. The AI was only engaging Players, but would not engage enemy AI. Of course I don't have any knowledge on how it was set up, but it seemed odd.

I have no idea, I only fly SP. But something's rotten in DCS and it's annoying as hell.

Yep, it does smell a bit. Seems like bots got vaxed with something...

That's waht I call a premature judgement.

As you may not know, an AI group can be told not to attack a specific enemy AI group. It all depends on how the mission was done. Please attach a track the next time it happens to you.

Somebody once said "something is rotten in the state of Denmark" but in my case, it happened over England.

The problem is that the AI fighters were attacking seldom, not not at all. I'll check the track file or refly the mission and let you know.

Attach the mission so we can check the advanced waypoint actions 

thanks

I have spoken with Hog_driver in a PM and tried to help with some examples, but there is an issue with how the AI will re-engage the bombers, and are spending to much time trying to get into a good position, this has been reported 

thanks
