WW1 Career mode generating un-survivable missions


Recommended Posts

Posted

Been doing an F.E.2.b career recently and a problem keeps coming up. When a bombing mission is generated, it is often virtually un-survivable due to the lethal amount of AA placed around the target.. I have the career options set on "Sparse" already for AA but, as an example, here is a factory site in tonight's mission which has 3 of these AA nests around it (usually there are more!):

Each one of these nests consists of 3 AA guns, one machine gun and a searchlight. Even 1 of these around a target would be pretty lethal, but sometimes the game will generate 4 (or more!) of these in the area. This makes the mission pretty much un-survivable.. you are going to get killed nearly every time.. I either have to abort these missions, or open the mission file in the mission editor and delete the AA to even stand a chance of completing the mission..

Each one of these nests is pretty lethal for a slow-flying WW1 plane
 

What also makes it much worse, is the flight is not doing level bombing over the target at a decent altitude, but low level dive bombing.. with this much AA, this is completely suicidal and everyone in my flight pretty much gets killed every time (including me if I follow them)

The inevitable result of flying slow planes into walls of hostile AA at low altitude..



Can the Devs please take a look at these mission templates and re-think the AA, or make the AI only do high-alt level bombing over these targets?  its getting very annoying having to edit or abort these missions all the time...

 

Thanks!
