4.12.2 de-bugging

[Pursuivant]

More minor bugs

No French markings appear for Hawk 75A-4

Ace AI gunnery seems to have been dumbed down a bit too much. Many times I've seen Ace AI planes miss easy no-deflection shots from 2-300 meters. It seems as if their point of aim is consistently a bit high and to the right of where it should be.

It doesn't seem the fix on the P40 wings has been applied to all versions of the A/C.

Hawk 81a-2, P40B, P40C, Tomahawk IIa and Tomahawk IIb appear OK
P40E, P40E M105 and P40M have the old angle

Or is that normal?

Russian plane Radio Direction Finder mistake.

I send this bug to Oleg too 8 years ago, he corrected it.

Testimony from Chinese version Yak-18 manual.

Historical Yak-18 Radio Direction indicators finger NOT indicate Beacon direction.

定向: Direction measure
定位: Distance measure


Another, I hope Radio Direction can include 2 mode: Direction measure & Distance measure.

We can found in Yak-18, when Radio Direction working in Distance measure mode, it can display how far away from plane to Beacon.

The new P40 models were not in 4.12

The taxi feature is like it's own "take off type." So the other "in Pairs" etc., will not work. It's one or the other.

You could try timing it with a zero meter distance, but...

The other thing is weird formation flying. I created a mission with 9 Ju 88s taxi-taking off, then flying the vic formation. And each time they collide with each other while creating the formation (I mean no 3 too far forward, even before the no 1, so I eventually ended up with just 6-7 planes in formation). And they also like to drop their bombs early. And I don't mean several dozens of meters, I mean 2-20 km before they reach their target!
I don't know if it's my fault (bad mission making or something) or AI's, but I just can't make them listen to me

You know it would be great if you resized those pics because they are HUGE ....

Those P-40 models were never a problem. They were added with Pacific Fighters. The P-40E and M models were first introduced in Forgotten Battles and were poorly done in terms of accuracy. Those are the ones that are being fixed... But more work needs to be done so they didn't come in 4.12.

P40-N2 mission: although you're the wingman, you can instruct no. 3 and no 4. to attack the enemy fighters (while your own leader is still alive). No 3 and 4 will follow you instead of the real leader temporarily. After some time you get the wingman role again and the AI follows your leader. Seems like a small AI bug to me.

The mission is normally set to dusk conditions and under these conditions none of the P40's will be able to succesfully attack the Me's that perform the ground attack. When set to daylight conditions, the P40's will however attack.

The "loiter here" command no longer seems to work.

Didnt think it ever did, along with previous way point return to base etc etc
