AI behaviour fighters attacking bombers

[IckyATLAS]

We discussed a few times about the problem of gunners not firing.

I did recently some tests with AI fighters (4 La5Fn)  against AI bombers (7 HE111) and it is still so if priority is set to High for waypoints and  AttackArea.

If you want to have a bomb run of a flight say of 7 bombers and you want to have the gunners firing the only way is to have the leader parameters for Vulnerability and Engageability unchecked. 

On the ground you bomb a village nearby an airfield that is protected by massive AAA guns of various calibers.

You come in at 2000 meters.

 

In this configuration the Waypoint priority is set to Medium and the AttackArea MCU priority is also set to Medium with only the Attack Ground box is checked.

In this case it works. All bomber gunners will fire in all directions when fighter attack. Bombers may be destroyed and downed the rest of the flight continues straight on to go and bomb the target. AAA also fires and bombers fly straight into the flak black puffs. The leader will remain unscathed and will continue with surviving bombers or alone.
