Are patrol missions really this useless??


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have about 100hrs in on IL-2 Great Battles series and I just installed PWCG for both BoS and FC.

 

While it has a lot of promise and fun to use...one problem:

 

I've flown 2 'Patrol The Front' Missions and while I've encountered/seen many ground units...there are absolutely ZERO enemy aircraft/trade

to encounter.

 

Is the program even generating any enemy aircraft to encounter?

 

I fly the assigned routes and in both Patrol missions never fired my guns in anger.

 

Only thing I seem to be doing is increasing my flight hours.

 

Any advices?

 

Thank You and Fly High and Straight and Land Soft!

So it is not just me then!

Since the latest versions came out  [ 11.1.1] I too have hardly ever come across any enemy aircraft. Only once or twice if I remember correctly.

I do see some from my own side but that is about all.

I have two campaigns going, JG 77 in Europe and JG 52 in Russia. Have flown five or six in each.

Just to chime in... I have the same situation. Currently doing a Moscow map German fighter campaign and the last five or so flights have seen zero enemy air activity but plenty stuff going on on the ground by the frontline. I thought it maybe was meant to be like that... a bit of a lul in the fighting, but am starting to get suspicious that this is a bug. Loving the PCWG but since v 11.0 it has been like this .. am sure the great Pat will fix it though! and am regularly checking the updates page

Build 11.*.* is having issues with disappearing spawns of enemy aircraft.  He knows about it and has been working on it.  Not everyone is having the problem, which makes it a bit tougher to track down the cause.

I have a fix in place.  Should be out this weekend.
