So i am flying He 111 and its really fun but i have no idea how to command my wingmans to bomb the same target.

There is a section in the settings controls for these commands

"Do what I am doing'' command should fit in.

Its not working. I tried all of the commands and none worked

If you command the AI to do something do they answer or anything? My wingmans is just quiet so i wonder if there is something wrong with my game. I am thinking of reinstall and i wonder where is my saved files for the campaign and settings? I dont want to do all of that again. 

 

EDIT: sorry for double post.

Wingman AI seems a bit hit and miss. If you are doing ground attack you use the 'attack your own target' alt 2 or 'find a target' free command alt 8 sometimes they will. But they never use all their ammo, seem to just do one run and rejoin.

 

If you are doing bomber even if you do nothing or if you say 'copy me' sometimes they drop when you drop ie exact same time (so they miss) or they do nothing.

 

Needs a lot of work I think. Or, I am totally doing it wrong.

 

I really wish the coder who coded the wingman AI would drop into the forum here and gve us some clues.

Yes, it needs a lot of work and no, you're not doing it wrong.  I seem to remember a request for an improvement to the A.I. over on the RoF forum last year where Jason informed us the guy who did the A.I. had left the team a couple of years previously and hadn't been replaced.

 

I don't think the fundamentals of BoS A.I. differ very much from those in RoF - especially shortcomings in A.I. wingman commands.

Had this happen to me too. Working wingman commands are essential for single player gameplay - but this seems to be so hard to implement, that not only BoS fails in this department. Without an AI programmer this will be pretty hard to fix, though.

Glad I'm not the only one. So far it seems on strike missions I have to do all of the work and the AI does almost nothing. Fighter vs fighter is very good but the strike AI stuff isn't holding up.

 

I was hoping for a "drop bombs on my command" type call like the one that had been added to IL-2 1946 in recent patches.

Yes, I've noticed this as well.  I'd be interested to see just what the AI does accomplish on missions.
