My AI flight will not attack- drives me crazy!

[jamesdietz]

In many of the missions Quick ,Single,Campaigns,no matter waht I do I cannot get my squadron buddies to attack.Oh I can get them to stay with me,fly in the formation I want & get the correct distance,close or far,but not attack the flights of enemy aircraft directly in front of me,or with Stukas to actually release their bombs on target! Yes its true on some missions they do all on their own..I like this , but seem to have no actul control over this. There is a Air Targets tab in Radio Transmission but I don't really think this works ( I've tried all sorts of combinations.) There is no Ground targets attack commnd so that means I'm out of luck trying to get my pals to strafe a road convoy ot hit AA sites like in IL-2. Has someonde figured this apparent glitch out? It is particularily frustrating in Desastersoft Missions where a kill number may determine whether you get a succesfull mission or have to repeat.
As I said this is driving me crazy!
