Assigning target for AI wingman?

[rico]

Hello...

 

Is there a better way to assign a target to my AI-Wingman?...For now i set a target as my spi, hook my wingman, send my spi and order him to "engage ground target with...at my spi". With other targets around AI-wingman often engages anything but that target i wanted...Any better way?

 

Regards,

Rico

AFAIK there's no need to hook the WM and send SPI. Just set a SPI and order him to engage as you're doing. It works quite ok here.

Yes, but assigning a target within a group of other targets - lets say an ammunition depot surrounded by some APCs - often makes the AI attack the APCs instead my SPI Target.

Moreover, the command in the CommMenu says "Engage ground targets of !oppertunity! at my SPI with guided bombs", for example. Means that AI Wingman has got a choice?!...Should i use a different command? And if so, which one?

If you have a specific target at your SPI, say a tank, and you tell your wingman to "engage with.. tanks.. ordnance...from" he should attack your target - provided it matches the type you ask him to attack.

I never managed to assign a building or bridge as target for my wingman. I think it is not possible.
