Career Mode Squadron Pilots

[hutton]

Is there an update I missed or something???  This game would be WORLDS better if squadron pilots didn't continually and consistently:

1 - not engage targets

2 - fly into each other

3 - fly into the ground

 

The above issues make career mode unenjoyable.

No update missed.... not one that would offer a solution at least. I can't say I've seen the 'flying into the ground' issue for a while. I did loose half my escort the other night through poor formation flying though. As for point one, its still a bit hit and miss, sometimes they will, sometimes they won't. If you stick to the assigned waypoints, altitude and airspeed and issue no orders, your flight seems to have a slightly higher chance of doing something useful.

As always, if you see an issue with career mode, please upload the mission and/or track file showing the problem. 🙂

Hello.

 

Mid air collisions happen. Sometimes. As it should. I dont think it happens much more than it actually happened irl.

 

As for the AI kamikazing the ground, I havent seen it for a long time...years ago I remember missions when 109s looked like a meteor shower, but not anymore. 

 

AI not engaging IS a huge problem though especially if you are the flight leader. How many times have I ordered my flight to engage enemies and see them BEGIN to turn to engage just to start following me again a few secs after. It happens especially if you are far away from the main objective or if the mission is completed. At this point the AI becomes a zombie oblivious to any danger and its VERY frustrating.

Sorry, do you mean record the mission?

Yes, either a recording or the _gen.mission file will suffice.
