4.11 - AI debugging

[CzechTexan]

I suppose this is not a bug and is probably in the wrong forum but it is "A/I" so here is my post.

Sorry if this has been covered but i have not read all 12 pages...
I'm trying to get fighters like F4F-4 and P-400 to strafe ground targets and Japanese landing craft. They will not do it. I've tried everything I can think of.

If you add bombs to the Wildcat it will attempt to bomb and the same with P-39D-1 (my substitute for P-400 for ground attacks).
Lots of strafing were done with these on Guadalcanal and I'm just trying to make a good re-enactment of it but it's just not working.
Any suggestions or maybe a fix in the future?

The AI will not attack ships with guns only. As Oleg used to say...this is a 'feature', not a bug.

Try using the P39D2 armed with the 37mm.

Hi,
I do not know whether someone has this already observed, but the F4U1A AI behaves during a bombing run from a certain height very strange!
At a height above 1250m, the F4U1A extend his undercarriage and goes into a dive! The bombs will triggered and the undercarriage again retracted!

Saw it in 4.11m plus hotfix patch during a DCG mission and a test mission in FMB!
Payload F4U1A: 2x500

picture: EDIT

Hope it helps!

Lonestar, see 3'40" on:

It's normal behaviour apparently

[Lonestar]

Oh, interesting!
I've never seen that before, then all back!
Many thanks for the vid, jameson!

Hi there,

as some people before mentioned, the "stealing" of kills by friendly ai is a real nuissance esp. for offliners.

Otherwise I love the new ai!

Gotta love the white text over the white clouds...
