Ground unit activation triggered failed

[greybeard_52]

That is the chronicle of a complete failure from the point of view of simulation.
Escort mission, generated with PWCG. To begin with, the third element of the flight (I am number four) does not take off. Once in the air, my other two AI mates, as in all escort missions, do everything but escort the planes that we should escort, with which we never even manage to meet. In this case, during the climb, they set out in pursuit of an enemy group sighted just under ten kilometers away. I follow them. When we reach them (they are SPADs), as usual my AI mates start wandering without scope, I attack, and when I'm busy with all three enemies, my AI mates, as usual, leave. I manage to disengage myself and join them, when they were already several kilometers away from the first encounter. At this point, history repeats itself: my AI mates turn around and return to attack the SPADs (but always pretend), and when I'm again engaged with the enemies ... they leave. This time I can't get by and get shot down.
In addition to the insult, in the debriefing within the PWCG, is said that my leader has shot down a SPAD, a false score which happens often and which is impossible in this case since my companions have always fled and it is even clear from the game screen that I am attaching (red hits are by flak, the blue circled one it's by me) . About the latter, I notice the writing "Ground unit activation triggered failed" (which does not even seem correct in terms of grammar) in red; I'd be curious to know what that means. I don't even try to tell Mister 230 km / h since he doesn't answer me.
