nighteyes2017 Posted November 28, 2024 Posted November 28, 2024 I am trying to get the AI to engage in a BVR fight. However, whatever i try whatever type of aircraft, or whatever task or rule i try to give the AI, it will not shoot unless i close to around 10nm!! This wasn't a problem before. Also on missions in the past where i had this working just fine, this no longer functions. Tried giving the AI aim120, r77, r27ER. Tried setting max range launch, intercept, fighter sweep, cap, attack specific group, engage in zone, come in high and fast etc. etc. No matter what i try, AI does not fire untill close range. what.....the......heck is going on?

I had a similar problem a few days ago, but better to provide a track for the devs. I'll put one here later for my part.
nighteyes2017 Posted November 30, 2024 Author Posted November 30, 2024 For some unknown reason. The missions, wich have not been altered, now suddenly work again. I really didnt change a thing. Now however, the AI will not shoot sooner than 27nm. No matter wich aircraft or missile, AI shoots at 27nm. So a Mig31, loaded with R33 (54nm) coming in at mach 1.2 at 40000, set to max range launch, still will not shoot until 27nm. Each red aircraft, with either a R33 or a R27ER (37nm), no matter the settings, will not shoot before 27nm. Seriously, ED needs to look at AI BVR behaviour. A couple of updates ago this was a big improvement thingy. However its not working anymore.
Mad_Shell Posted December 6, 2024 Posted December 6, 2024 (edited) The AI can shoot BVR, but the range seems a bit small... 2 aircraft head on, mach 2, 50 000 ft high, missile max range launch option selected, and the Aim-120C is launched at 60-65 km only, and the R-77 a bbit less than that. When the planes are lower and slower, they often engage barely at BVR or even closer. max_launch_distance.trk Edited December 6, 2024 by Mad_Shell
