Better AI Communication & Performance

[shastasm]

Hi all.

I've been playing DCS on Liberation Campaign for years.  It seams when many units are involved in a map/mission things get very quirky with AI AWACS, ATC, and Wingman communications. Below list some key issues I have observed that have been emersion killers flying single player missions.  

AWACS Issues: In particular AWACS calls out every single contact on the map as a BRA instead of groups referenced to a bullseye which would simplify and reduce AWACS chatter.  I don't need to know about contacts 300 miles away other have a situational awareness in reference to bullseye.  I'm not sure what proper AWACS protocol is, but may give BRA if within a 100 mile radius of your plane or if asked for a bogey dope.

ATC Communication: ATC should be able to give you IFR routing in poor weather or night operations.  Not all planes have ILS/TACAN ability.  Ideally they will give you a marshal stack information for spacing for airports that have a lot of traffic.  Also, add the ability for requesting that ATC repeat the information (for both Carrier and airports).  

AI Wingman: when there tens to hundreds of contacts on a map/mission, wingmen will call out every ground and air contact within a 200 mile radius - they must have eagle eyes or advanced radar/avionics that are 6th generation.  In these situations, they will saturate the airways until they have completed their callouts (20 minutes sometimes).  Also, if you are trying to command during these wingman callout situations, they will ignore your commands (engage, rtb, etc) until they are complete.   

AI Wingman Joker/Bingo Fuel Settings: There is no way for you to establish or set bingo/joker fuel loadouts in the mission editor.  You have no idea what their fuel situation is until they call out bingo...then 15 seconds latter they eject.  Recommend a bingo/joker fuel setting is created in the editor and add AI communication about Joker & Bingo fuel conditions.  Also add the ability to request fuel status in the comms menu.
