Smoking AI chasing you?

[SCG_motoadve]

Something I really dont like about AI is that they get hit , black smoke coming out, and they keep chasing you like if nothing, airplane is smoking but no loss of power, only loose power just before engine quits, its like its simulating an oil leak always .

A cylinder could have been shot off and have the smoking plane but loosing power at the same time, but but no loss of power and AI has no instict to survive to fight another day, so they continue with the attack.

So you continue fighting against a smoking plane.

 

All this kills immersion, hope they fix it one day, shouldnt be that difficult to correct.

AI gets damaged , break off the fight and RTB.

Agreed, slight damage I can understand, but one heavily smoking especially black smoke it does not make sense for them to be able to continue to fly and fight like nothing is wrong, with apparently plenty of power.

The "return to base when damaged" exists in game for friendly and enemy AI.

 

You have to have an activated airfield and the option to return checked for the planes.

 

Is this is Quick mission or campaign?

[SCG_motoadve]

Quick missions, single mission and scripted campaigns, I dont play the stock campaign anymore.

Maybe the enemy AI is just programmed to hate you

[sniperton]

In the stock campaign (where they are assigned to an airfield) they try to limp back to base when the smoke is black. They don't do so with white smoke (coolant leak) or grey smoke (fuel leak), however. And even with black smoke, they don't disengage soon, only after half a minute or so.

The AI pilots become zombies, and, zombies NEVER give up!

Perhaps the AI subscribes to the strategic offensive principle of war.
