Crazy stuff that would never ever happen IRL, at least not while I'm in command of that group  , why attack with 12,7s and die when you can RTB reload and later just drop 1000lbers again without taking a scratch?
There should be some kind of LABEL in classes.ini that FORBIDS GROUND ATTACKers to attack with guns/cannons. Only level/skip/dive bombing runs allowed.
I think that should be made. |
Basically what I proposed above. You can specify a strafing attack or level bombing attack, etc. That way you don't have those kinds of incidents and you can actually use aircraft like the A-20 and B-25J on level bomb runs. At present you can't because the AI lines up to attack in the same way that an IL-2 would... Sometimes you might want them to operate in the strafing mode as they did use that technique as well. But it would be nice as mission designer to have control over what that method of attack is and what the mission calls for.
