AI Escort behavior

Check this out; 2 F18F escorting a sead strike launch on one IL28

The IL28 was the only aircraft up in the vicinity (though a flight of Mig29A was further north) and no threat to them yet they launched every missile they had (twenty eight) at the bomber and even missed as they launched from too far away. I downed the fat bastard a minute later.

Looks like you like the F-18’s a lot, is the flight model any good?

As was previously posted, the F-18 is not well modeled. But with 4.33, we all might get a surprise.

Must KILL KILL KILL! Kill That IL 28 before it has a chance to poop on someone.

Anyway, that’s the AI for ya. I don’t know if the devs are going to address the AI or not with the next release, but there were a few suggestions that it may get worked on. We will have to wait and see.
