AI flights struggling with GBUs?
-
Hello,
flew the third Balkans campaign for a week and noticed that AI flights (which I fragged in 2D) seem to struggle with putting laser guided as well as GPS/INS guided munitions on target, or drop them at all. I observed multiple times that flights (F-16, F-15, F-117, …) would overfly the target but never drop any bombs.
I even tried to assign targets manually in recon and at some point got so paranoid that I even deconflicted their laser codes - something I am sure matters not for “2D strikes”. All to no avail.
Fresh 4.37 + Balkans install, btw. no altered stuff aside from making some squadrons player controlled. Never had any issues like that in the past years and feel it is either 4.37, or maybe the current Balkans version.
Anyone with similar observations?

Now thats new.
In human flights they score good., 3d obviously - that said, never checked 2D perf.Yes you can screw with their LGBs if same code and close enough. - seen that. - so have in mind if attacking same range.
We’ll see… so only 2D ?..

You are talking 2D damages right ?

Correct, 2D only.
Multiple occasions where I fragged a plethora of B-2 and F-117 to strike FRY air bases and other installations over night, only to return the next day (live server among friends) seeing no results.
I then scheduled strikes I could observe and noticed them flying over the target area, not disturbed by enemy air or SAM assets, and just fly home with no weapons expended.I did an SP campaign test (also Balkans) yesterday. F-16 with LGB did drop one bomb each (no matter if 2-ship or 4-ship flight) but failed to hit the target.
Fragged one flight with dumb bombs and boom, target destroyed.
That is of course no reliable sample size at all, but something is off. I played this for years and never noticed any issues in 2D campaigns with flights not attacking their targets.
Let me know what I can do to help!

falcon4.aii
2DHitChanceAir = 3.5
2DHitChanceGround = 1.5but it is the same in Balkans and KTO … even org F4 … so this was like forever…
dunno needs some eyes on… but for what I can see (time accel), prioritized targets gets destroyed… eventually. so they (ai) don’t miss that much… we’ll see how campaign develops further -
“Next day” could mean that the airbases were repaired.
Can you upload the CAM/TAC of one of these strikes you scheduled? Indicate which mission was that.FYI: Even in 2D missiles and bombs can miss the target.

@white_fang The devs are looking into the whole campaign, etc.
Please dont change these values in aii, …this have other effects too. -
@tiag
Already did as Balkans are a bit fubar. (not ‘those’ values, no need) but others … no worries/ -
Isn’t default weather in Balkans very cloudy? Idk if that has any role for 2d + laser, but iirc it does in 3d.
