Keeping AI in agressive mode

[bolox]

1)Increase the skill settings for bravery
2)Make sure the planes have a high fuel level when they go into combat
3)Discipline skill setting can also have an effect (high settings tend to stick together in groups)
4) keep opposing numbers ~even ( or even more opposition )

These things help- whether they will get it to a standard you desire is another matter

Vision/awareness sliders do also have some effect, not sure but height advantage might help.
It seems to be more an 'art' rather than a 'science' with multiple things affecting how dogfights turn out

In my experience CoD's AI have something like a 'pool' of bravery- determined by the bravery level. This is reduced by decreasing fuel level, the number of times it is 'threatened' by enemy AI etc, until a point at which 'they've had enough' and bug out at the first opportunity and remain in this state (I call it RTB Dummies) at which point they are pretty much 'target drones'- although they do some avoiding now if attacked- but quickly try to resume RTB.

One thing I often do is to give defending fighters a waypoint after contact at low level/high speed- so at least when they do 'bug out' they get out of the fight in a quicker/more realistic fashion.

That's my experience anyway, maybe others can explain it better?

This is the biggest problem in COD at this point for me . It's the reason I hardly ever bother any more . Pretty much gone back to 1946 up3 rc4 .(much more fun )

same problem here.
Did the AI partially set to ACE with a full tank.
Waypoint on "fighters attack" and my group targeted.
The Spitfires pull peacefully circling. The Spitfires ignore me completely, even if I attacking!
This is bullshit. Or what am I doing wrong?

The Spitfires pull peacefully circling

Have you only set 1 (or 2) waypoints for Spits?

If they reach the end of the waypoints they will just circle like drones.

Set up the meeting so both groups have a waypoint after where they'll meet.
something like this?

I set all escorts and fighters that you want attacking humans to ACE. that's it. anything less and funny stuff happens. but also remember they will bug out once they are out of ammo also.

If you are using bombers then set them to ace then just tone down their arial gunnery to a range 30-80 area.

You will then find a good balance and AI performing aggressive.

hi,

Thanks for the tips guys. Essentially everything I had mentioned earlier. The problem is that the AI ​​will never fight when it is in abundance.
2 vs 2 all ok. But when my wingman dies I am no longer of interest and they are circling. This is complete Bu ...

It may be a case that AI does not recognize a human player as a target. Try switching autopilot ON and watch their reaction. If they attack you can switch it off again I believe and they would still engage you.
