Is this normal?

[arrow_man]

Had the game for quite a long time but never actually started playing till now.

 

On the second chapter and doing escort missions. I keep getting put with 1 partner with IL-2's.

 

Except every single time my wingman goes off even though tell him not too. Either the IL-2's get swarmed by 10 or so 109's out of nowhere over the target zone and if I try to help them out every single one of them

start chasing me instead.

Could have meant "posting" instead of "playing." Either way, mate, I feel his pain with the wingmen.

I did do a lot of missions in chapter 1 just to get used to the game got to level 6. I would consider myself a huge noob still.

You want to play like a Pro?

• Turn very very low over trees or ground. And every Bf-109 hit the trees or the ground. Very funny to see if you manage it right. Same style work in MP, too. Funny to see how Bf-109 came with high speed from above to hit trees or the ground if a Yak-1 hard turn 1m over ground or trees!
• Or you do this here: Wait until the enemy go to their homebase. You see the enemy landing. Wait until he landed. Now do a low flight and hit the enemy with a single bullet. Thats enough. If the enemy plane start to dance you did it right. He crash some seconds after he finished his dance. Now you wait for the next enemy plane to repeat this style. Easy kills!!!

The issue with AI escorts going off on their own to attack other targets is a known issue, yes.

Any optimization on this subject being worked on and/or implemented on next updates?

Dunno. That would be a question for the development guys to answer.

The escorts will attack any enemy ac that gets close by. If you are escorting you can order them to "Do like me", which makes them follow you. But if you are the escorted, theres not much you can do, except pray that no enemy fighters come to you.

[arrow_man]

ya... "do like me" doesn't work.

[Cybermat47]

Well, if you want to progress, I'd suggest just doing intercept, ground attack, and bombing missions.

 

That's not a solution though, it's just an alternative.

 

It might be worthwhile to submit a bug report to the devs. Sorry I can't be of more help

I keep getting this thread mixed up with Jason's "Is it just me"  one with all the summer landscape pics... 

[LLv24_Zami]

Yeah, known and annoying flaw of escort AI. It has been reported and undoubtedly devs know about it. Hopefully they have time to work on AI among other things. Would be nice to hear a word on a subject from them. It is very much effecting the SP side of the game.

I am getting really frustrated at this its every single time, it isn't fun. If I got more wingmen then sure but no.

Han stated in the questions thread that the soon coming 1.103 patch includes AI improvements. So hopefully this issue is gets fixed among few other AI flaws. Anyway I`m glad AI is still getting updates.
