Wingman or box of rocks?

[Mercury]

The positive about 1.02 patch - Its uses the same sound engine as FC2.0 and now the sound engine is utilizing all cores thus improving frame rates.

 

The negatives - Wingmen got from dumb to dumber. (Just like the movie:lol:)

 

After a long hour flying the "On the other side" mission in deployment campaign, I finally accomplished the mission and on the way back to base, a couple of kilometers from base actually, I gave the order for wingmen to RTB. On approach, no.2 with no.3 crushed with each other and no.4 was a couple of meters in no.3's ass.

 

I accomplished the next mission too, but when I order the wingman to attack he said ok, as I was looking on my right to see his ingress.... he was not there! I pressed F5 to view his position and he was abandoning me in the middle of the fight and went RTB.

Have you tried turning off Civ traffic? Was mentioned on here somewhere and it works for me.

 

It works on first few missions and for replay. Afterward, wingman starts with his pacifist attitude again.

 

If you play missions you can try:

1) start mission, be some 20 sec in it, then quit it

2) save mission replay

3) start recently saved replay, hit `escape`, take control by clicking on 'CTRL'

4) miracle happens, wingman starts to obey in that mission

 

Campaign seems not advancing with this 'technique'.

 

Note:

Be sure that Civ Traffic is disabled.

Be sure not to give order for attack on target which is stationary on bridge

Use Goldfinger's mod to increase AI IQ. Connos gave link.

 

AI? :megalol:

What do you mean it works??

 

By turning Civ traffic off my wingman seems to engage when i tell him to. With Civ traffic on he just flys up to the target and gets shot down.

Ordering flight to RTB was always causing crashes between the Wingmen.... Ordering everyone separably is the only way to avoid this. I tried a mission today and everything was ok with my wingman. Using datalink is the way to go.

Thanks Dave317. Interesting. I always have Civ traffic off.

so for me, it is the best choice, to fly in mulitplayer mode with my buddies on my rotorblades!), .. so i can guarantee my wingmen are doing what is communicated..

but i really hope they(ED) can fix this bug soon..

I've got Civ traffic off and they still respond poorly many times.

 

Also, does the new "shout out every tree and rock you see" feature of the AI wingmen also need to be happening during a reconnaissance? "Armor, 1 o'clock." "Contact, armor bearing 289 8 km." It seems a little redundant.
