Rheinland P47D River Fire mission issues

[Zeev]

Hi,

I have just completed the River Fire mission and I have some feedback:

1. At the middle of the flight towards the enemy, friendly AI radio chatter is in Russian: "AI: Guillemont, engage nearest air targets, out".
2. When the waypoint switches to attack, my flight wingmen do not dive with me, they just stay at 2000 meters altitude and do nothing, same with the second allied flight.
3. It takes only 1 barge to destroy to get the label "Lets get home".
4. My wingmen follow me home but at higher altitude, almost seems like their task is to "defend" me.
5. Only at the last waypoint I hear radio chatter:
   a. Rejoin formation
   b. After few seconds they say lets go home (forgot the exact chat text)
6. When I am trying to land, they still seem like flying high above me.

 

I do not have the whole recording but only the landing one.

 

BTW, just from curiosity, why are we bombing barges that comes out of the city? Any chance we are bombing civilians? I know its a war but its an end of war and what is the reason of this mission exactly?
