AI dog fights in DSC: BS?

[RedTiger]

Has anyone noticed besides me that enemy fighters in BS don't seem to want to, well, fight each other? Did I do something wrong on my attempts back when I still had it installed?

 

Yeah, I know, helicopter sim, but still, I had to take a peak since this is where my real interest is. I set up a US F-15 and Russian Su-27 on opposing sides flying directly at each other. I can't remember if this was gunzo or they had missiles, but what I do remember is the AI just twitching the planes towards each other for a second and then turning back on course. Both had SOP to engage other fighters...

What were their orders at each waypoint? Did you just select CAP flight when placing them or did you actually make a well-sized target box on the attack waypoint?

 

If their waypoint orders them to just fly somewhere they will not automatically agress against everything they see.

you have to target enemy planes in when you setup the AI plane.
