AI annoyances

[BrzI]

AI does not seem to follow directions. Line abreast does not work. Wedge seems to take forever - with #4 always dragging behind for no obvious reason. "Follow route" makes them go in a direction that does not make sense.

 

Plus they use fuel like crazy. We reach engagement area and I have 70 % fuel in my Su-27 while one of my wingmen is already calling bingo fuel. They go afterburner with no reason. Sometimes they do not even increase speed even with AB on.

 

Would be good to give a higher priority to fixing AI behavior.

Hi!

 

Same here but with F-15...

Afterburner and 550 km/h...

There is so much broken with the AI wingmen, its maddening. Atleast in the F-15 campaign they have 3 drop tanks, but once they start engaging all bets are off. I've only once convinced a wingman to refuel at the tanker and have him succeed. In the same mission I was once forced defensive with only Aim-9s left, requesting my wing men to cover me against 2 SU-30s. I basically had to recommit, evade whatever missile they had left to fire at me and push in for 2 sidewinder kills. Yes my wingmen (2/3) were indeed still alive and being useless.
