AI friendlies and enemies ground attack planes just going circle

[vincentmoy]

Hello,

 

Does anyone experience this as well? It seems any ground attack planes/bombers (other than in escort missions) will not attack ground targets. They just fly in circles and not do anything, doesn't matters if it's allies or axis. The mission I attached shows there's a flight of enemy Bf110 with bombs, right over the front line with plenty of ground targets, flying in circles, getting shot at by AAs and never drop the bombs. But I've also seen friendlies Pe-2s/IL2s just going in circle as well.

 

Just wonder if this is normal behavior.

Thanks for posting.  AI behavior is tough to get just right.  I will say that AI will ground attack - seen it happen often enough - but sometimes they won't - seen that often enough too.  Posting the zip is the best thing. TBH i don't have the time to look at everything but I do try to get to these things when I can.

Can confirm this was an issue for me as well.  Did a co-op flight this morning and we saw a flight of Ju-87s orbiting, bombs still onboard, seemingly no goal in mind.  They had been attacked earlier but managed to survive.  Maybe it's a case of an AI task being interrupted and then not picked up again?

Just found the cause about 30 min ago.  Working it.

Hello Pat and happy new year, 

 

I had a similar issue tonight, would you please take a look? He111 are circling around the RDV point forever.

 

On a side note, thank you so much for your amazing work and dedication, my buddies and I are having a blast with your cooperative campaign generator.

 

Best,

 

Lucas
