Viggen Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Only me with 105 kills I wasn't going to let some big-show Colonel get MY kills! Quote
+SidDogg Posted March 5, 2008 Author Posted March 5, 2008 (edited) cough----hhhhhaaaah! [oh dat's jus Attrition War so u kno i'm not done yet rite? ^_^] only reason i jus have 84 is cuz i'm always trying to get my wingmen to get the kills.... ...but for some reason, for all the enemy's aggresiveness..... my wingmen simply will not show themselves to be very competent at all.....

Viggen Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 my wingmen simply will not show themselves to be very competent at all..... Yeah I've noticed that. When I do let them get kills it takes a while and is almost never by 1-3. Quote
herman01 Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 I have the most success when I tail an enemy then tell my wingmen to attack. They usually show up and take care of the guy Im tailing and also nearly coliding with me or hiting me with their missle or canon fire. I have a hard time keeping my pilots let alone whether or not they become aces. Quote
+Spectre_USA Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Well, the AI has definitely improved, but only the enemy's. I have lost a good many in my squadron in my 1st 3 campaign attempts. Not only are they better, but they really swarm now. Some may have asked for improved AI, well, we got it. I had 3 aces in my latest Phantom `73 campaign, but lost `em both in the last mission, a real meat grinder. I was lucky to have escaped.... Quote
Emp_Palpatine Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Sure, I've noticed too that the wingmen remain weak. I'vn't got any aces yet, except in 1982. They always get shoot down in other campaigns. Quote
+SidDogg Posted March 6, 2008 Author Posted March 6, 2008 True.... ...However, I do notice that kill probability goes up dramatically with more modern weapons..... ...Seems they would rather rely on their weapons rather then their skills..... Quote
Viper6 Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Well, the AI has definitely improved, but only the enemy's. I have lost a good many in my squadron in my 1st 3 campaign attempts.

I'm runnin multiple campaigns but the result is the same, my pilots are getting their buttocks ripped to ribbons AKA; KIA,MIA,POW. I did have two aces but on the very next mission(SEAD) They were lost. I wish they would at least TRY to avoid getting hosed. sigh! Quote
+Spectre_USA Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 That and the fact that even though they bailed over friendly territory, WAY inside, and they are POW. Did they drag their `chutes across the desert looking for an Arab to throw their hands up to? I gotta track down the wounded/KIA/POW algorithm and see if I can tighten it up. I am down to 5 pilots in my `73 campaign, looks like I may be lone wolfing before too long... Quote
Emp_Palpatine Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 That and the fact that even though they bailed over friendly territory, WAY inside, and they are POW. Yeah. And that's true for the player too. I hope it will be fixed soon. Quote
Gr.Viper Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 I am down to 5 pilots in my `73 campaign, looks like I may be lone wolfing before too long... Luxury My F-4 squadron is already down to 3 there. On the bright side I don't see any static planes on Arab airfieds either which in theory means they are pretty low on supply too. Quote
Miya_Sama Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Excuse me, but what does this mean: "while and is almost never by 1-3" ? Quote
Viggen Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Excuse me, but what does this mean: "while and is almost never by 1-3" ? It is never by the number 3 guy in the first flight Quote
+SidDogg Posted March 8, 2008 Author Posted March 8, 2008 It is never by the number 3 guy in the first flight yeh. apparently, when i target the bandits and they are BELOW us, these idiots suddenly decide to go near vertical, instead attempting to convert on the target in a more straightforward fashion..... ...it gets to the point where my wingman will get close to the target for a guns tracking solution, and then he pulls up so hard that he loses sight of the target.....
