More friendly midair collisions?

[RedeyeStorm]

Hi all,

 

After the last update I get the impression I see more friendly midair collisions. I have seen this happen one flights break to engage or when going into the landing cycle. 
 

Is it my imagination?

I don't think it is a new issue. Not unless it has got significantly worse since the last update - I've not played enough since then to have noticed.

Same here but as I recall it was some missions that were notorious and others was no problem.  Since I fly mostly bombers I think I had less of the sort. 
But flying single engined in career it was day and night behaviour. I read this is a big problem for ww1 career. I have not yet flown them. But it is nothing new.

Well I am flying my Lufwaffe bomber campaign to and I noticed that my escorts crashed into each other. Four fighters lost. I also saw two fighters collide from the CAP flight (Pelican). That where two missions in a row. But perceptions can be deceiving.

I notice this too.  Also, on one mission my own flight was flying so unusually close to me in formation that I feared a collision was imminent, and when we approaching the airfield, some of them buzzed me like a PLA pilot would do; this was not the normal experience.  I get that they are jealous, but still...

I also think it is more frequent now. In each ground attack mission with escorts, I've experienced crashes of escorting fighters (2 to 4 aircraft lost).

It might be more frequent. 
I have no idea on how mods affects the missions in this game. But in DCs mods interfere a great deal in campaigns. 
Do any of you use mods? 
As I said it is a great deal of time since I flown more than two careers in a row. But this has been a problem long time and it was very randomly for me

[RedeyeStorm]

Well I do use mods. But basically @migmadmarine and @Skycat1969 skin/tactical codes mods and @Stonehouse mods, his AAA mod (AAA gets scary), AI mod which makes easy AI spray and pray at longer distance to Ace AI which will open fire close in and obliterate you. Plus a mod that makes AAA engage you sooner and longer then standard. Oh and reshade because in VR the colors are a bit washed out.

 

Not seeing why these would lead to more midai collisions. I noticed this only since the last patch and I have been running thes mods for several patches.

I can't think of anything in any of my mods that would increase friendly mid airs. There are some settings in AI Gunnery that might impact enemy/friendly collisions in combat but I can't see how they would cause issues in airfield ops or formation flying between friendly aircraft.

[Lusekofte]

I am not saying it is. 
I say it dies in DCS it simply make triggers not working and ai units behave oddly. 
I have not seen any reports on that behaviour in GB.

I am seeing collisions between my AI flight usually when they return to base at the end of a mission.  It is happening so frequently now; about every third or fourth mission.
