190 behaviour... Kuban

[Trooper117]

Took on a flight of four 190's last night... came down with a height advantage with the rest of my flight.

We were hammering away at them and there was no reaction whatsoever... they ploughed on and it wasn't until two of them got blasted before they decided to break.

Very strange!

They were probably on a ground attack mission.  Not sure how the AI behaves. 

I am also not sure how PWCG configures waypoints for dedicated ground attack FW190 squadrons.  For fighter squadrons (I/JG51 is the only FW190 Jagdstaffel) that happen to be on a ground attack mission the waypoint priority is low, which should cause them to drop and engage.  It's possible that PWCG is assigning a priority of medium to dedicated ground attack units.  This would make sense as these planes were armored and the pilots not necessarily trained to do airto air.

Still - there is only one thing that PWCG does to influence AI and that is waypoint priority.  I use low for fighters and medium for everybody else.  Any AI decisions outside the scope of that parameter - i.e. most of them - are not influenced by PWCG.
