lanmancz Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Currently you cannot choose P51D under escort task - only modern jets are there for both sides.

Madone Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Hi, What a shame if a P51 cannot escort, but what are you escorting? I think ED should take look to the Task menu, I'm personally requesting a Training Task, it would tidy up my loadout editor.

lanmancz Posted December 17, 2012 Author Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) I'm creating missions for mustang and now I'm for example working on a mission where player has to takeoff and intercept "bombers" (An-26s) that are escorted by enemy p51s. The trouble is that there is no escort task. Workaround is to make the escort fly the same route and speed as the bombers and create a "fighter sweep" task for them - the trouble with this approach is that when even single blue plane gets in the sight of these "escorts" they all try to get it and leave the bombers totally undefended. So I'd like to make a small escort group assigned to each bomber with escort task.

Madone Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Ah ok I got it. Then you have to play with the triggered actions, did you set some fighters to follow and some others to open fire? I mean, there's a possibility to make a formation flight an select some aircraft to follow only. If the AI doesn't obey... I don't really know how to get it working.

lanmancz Posted December 17, 2012 Author Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Yeah I didn't play with triggered actions regarding this problem yet. I thought about making big and small moving zones around each bomber and when the escort leaves the big zone force them back to follow until they are in the smaller circle, then back to fighter sweep. That might works as well I guess. Still, a dedicated escort task would be nicer. Also your idea about making only half of them active, other half as a reserve in a follow mode switched to active fighter sweep by some trigger condition seems nice as well. It will require some fine tuning the triggers to make them behave correctly but I'll give it a try.

Madone Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Yes, I was thinking about making triggers differently sized, it should work. I think you should set "follow" or "formation" first and Reaction to threat in second, it should avoid the AI to act as a happy trigger.
