AI wingmen don't do their assigned tasks..

Dee-Jay: please, do a “tutorial vid” for the rest of us!

After update 1, I cant frag a flight where you have to refuel in the air. The refueling part goes okay (hard practice), but when we’re done my wingy refuses to join me. Instead he fly formation with the tanker. I tried all the commands (I think), but the AI refuses to join me.
Anyone else with the same issue? Any known workaround?

i have the same problem roach

Don’t really understand … please, explain more (detailed process) and give TE save.

yep, I’m not sure I have a good workaround.
After the strike, sometime the AI would Fence Out. I use [8] view key to check to see if they turned their NAV lights on.
Before calling the Tanker, I check their NAV lights and if lights are on, I give them the Fence In command.
I don’t know who told the AI wingee that he could call “millertime”

Odd, my AI go Fence In immediately after departure and won’t go Fence Out unless I either tell them to, or on approach.
Also the [8] key doesn’t work for me. Instead of viewing the nearest friendly aircraft (like in the original F4), it views the farthest friendly aircraft from me.

Out of the two times I refueled, I had that happen once–except my wingman never actually fueled. He just stayed with the tanker for an extended period of time. The second time I tried refueling, everything went perfectly.

sigh!
I just wrote more detailed report of the bug I was experiencing and I accidentally pressed something on my keyboard and the browser went back a page. Tried to return, but my reply was gone. Sorry right now I dont have the energy to write it all again

hit [8] a bunch of times……

Already happens to me … it is a big pain in the ass Now I write always into a “Word” or txt page, then copy/past

Would be a pleasure one day to take you on my wing on a MP session, and show you how to do with IA … With me, AI are very good in OCA mission using BLU107.
Maybe because I’m less kind than you with them at debrief (?)
I’ve noticed that AI + BLU107 don’t have a problem dropping their bombs,
but they flew at 2000- 1000 ft and 15-20 miles over enemy territory (according to my HSD)
and one of them crashed into the ground at his 2nd or 3rd run.Usally I don’t load my AI wingies with BLU107, because I can take out up to 6 runways myself (if I load 12 BLU107)
Cheers,

Will try again after work. Might give me notepad a try

Usally I don’t load my AI wingies with BLU107, because I can take out up to 6 runways myself (if I load 12 BLU107)“Realism issue”. It is maybe also why you have problems. In a same patrol, all a/c should have the same loadout. (redundancy) … And I wonder how you can bomb six runway without several re attack? (unless you have a primary, secondary, tertiary target …)
-
Refuel seems to work well, except the frozen tanker I reported elsewhere. I Have done hundreds of refuels, and the AI seems to work all right.
Do you call Y-3 after you have done and release the tanker for your wingman? That is a requirement for the AI to continue in his turn. At least the wingman hanging at the tanker matches this. -
It may be realistic but thet still need work, BOMB AI is broken.
no it’s not BROKEN …it has never really worked well
All the reports here are showing how inconsistent the AI can be, sometimes they strike like shit (actually they dont release), sometimes they attack just perfectly with multiple weapons type etc…
It is not necessary to say “yes they bomb” and “no they dont”, everybody is right, everybody is wrong.
what we need to look at is the ratio of success and i can garantee you that the ratio of success is much higher than in OF. we are talking statistics here not particular cases …
Two main points have been vastly improved from OF :
- the capacity to really use different weapoins in the same mission
- the capacity to re engage a correct attack profile even if target too close (this was one of the major reason they didnt attack at all in previous falcon4 version).
Yes we know , there are still some cases where the AI just fly around and does not bomb, especially dumb bomb…the problem is known but has not been fixed. Actually, in OF for instance the point #2 was masking the next problem we are experiencing now…
not sure time can be find in the close future to fix it

That’s what I meant, runways on 6 differently airbases,
or on 3 differently airbases if they have 2 runways, etc.But I did that in OF, … not tried in BMS.
… realistic? No.
… efficient? Yes.On a usually OCA mission where RW is the target,
I prefer to do the job myself, (quick in - quick out)
AI wingies are private escort.The OCA mission from my post #60 was just a test to see if the AI is doing a good job with BLU107.
@Mav-jp
All I can say is that I had less to no problems on this topic in OF,
but I have problems with BMS, so I guess(ed) there must be something broken.If you guys can’t fix it in near future, then I’m not sure how I can actually “help” my AI wingmen.
If I can’t trust them on their bomb behavior, then why should I load them with bombs at all?Cheers,
LS -
… realistic? No.
… efficient? Yes.Yep of course … like striking the runway one the runway axis … not realistic but use to be efficient … and like loading 12*Mk82 for one single mission and striking 12 different targets … But personally, making points is not really what I’m looking for

LSWell i can tell you that in OF AI nearly never bombed target …. different experiences i guess!
Imho you completely exagerate the problem as confirmed by other ppl reporting AI bombing fine.
Anyway there are still problems i don’t deny it

For all : that is why you need to register with the PvP Total War event (PvP Round 4) because 95% of the fighters in the air will be controlled by human players (only 5% of AI flight and only support task like Awacs, Tanker, AirLift, etc) => no more problem with AI bombing in such game situation
My two cents LOOOOOOOOL

Yes I called done refueling and my wingman moved in to refuel. It’s after he was topped off and ready to go that the problems started. When asked to join formation he formed on the wrong wing, the tankers wing not mine.
Do you have to press y-3 again after the whole flight has refueled? Never done that before.
This all happened on campaign KTO Tiger spirit after update 1.
No problems before that.Refueling steerpoint was set to 15min patrol time. I’m not that quick to get to the boom so I’m quessing it took about 15min for us to refuel.
Thanks
