Hey all!  I was wondering why the number four wingman (1-4) seems to never do anything, Is this due to the nation training level?  Seems to be more pronounced when flying for countries other than the USAF or USN.  Does anyone have a way to actually get Mr. 1-4 to drop his bombs or fire his missiles?

have you tried ordering flight 2 (where 1-4 is) to do something?

Same Problem here. I am ordering my wingman (1-2) to engage and he does. When askin to flight 2 (1-3 and 1-4), only the 1-3 know what to do. Usually the 1-4 only follow the 1-3.

 

The only thing i saw over time, is that 1-4 will engage if 1-3 have been put out of combat (destroyed).

It also depends on the skill level setting that you use for your flight, and for the enemy.  I set the skill levels of my aircraft FMs to a minimum of "veteran".  That helps, but does not completely resolve the issue. Likewise, running into an enemy flight that is setup that way can be a bit exciting  :biggrin:

1-4 will engage if 1-3 is out of ammo usually. Thats for ground role.

But.

Sometimes when am single mission with some ground attack (usually cobra in Nam or Israel) am giving order to flight 2 -attk my target, and .....suprise both 1-3 and 1-4 are attacking. But sometimes only 1-3 and 1-4 will attack when 1-3 is out of ammo again.

So...i don't care anymore. I'm just giving them orders and keepin eye on them so so whole flight will get back home.

But i remember some custom campaign I played before in VooDoo. And I always assigned some skilled pilot to 4th aircraft. And during combat 1-4 was also engaging enemy.

So again confused.

oh ok how do I set all my flights to veteran?

 

It's an entry that has to be added to the "AIDATA" section of each and every flight model, like so:

 

[AIData]

MinAIQuality=Veteran
MaxAIQuality=Ace

I quite seldomly see 1-4 doing something useful. Be it A2G or A2A. It seems to cover 1-3 and acts when he is gone. 

1-2 and 1-3 should definitely be active, though.

      View File Fly as a Wingman
      This edit in the original file allows you to fly as if you were the wingman of the formation.
      You continue to be the leader, and giving orders to the rest of the squad, but flying as the right wing, giving the radio command 1-8-6.
      To return to the original formation, just perform the radio command 1-8-3.
      I like it, because I like flying as a wingman and "inserting" myself into the maneuvers and following the "leader", giving more immersion to the flight.
      You just need to be careful when flying with nations where the pilots have "poor skills", as during the maneuvers the "leader" can spread and collide with you.
      In this case, before the "action begins", I suggest giving the command 1-8-1 so that he moves away so that a collision does not occur.
      Don't forget to make a backup of your original file in case you want to revert!

      Apr. 17, 2023 Update - Please find, available at the link below, my previously released mods. for RoF United Ed. - this time as a convenient, consolidated package that has been updated with the latest tweaks. Do read the included "Read Me" files, where available, for more info., particularly the "READ_ME_ROF_General_Info" file that is located in the root folder of the package when unzipped. This package is provided "as is," with no active support beyond the included explanatory files. The "Consolidated Mods. New" Package contains the latest AI mod. (ver. 1.4) for RoF United, as well as mods. previously offered separately, such as the "M-S Type H Campaigning Tweak," the "PWCG modulations" files, etc.
      Apr. 29, 2023 Update - Included below the link to the "Consolidated Mods. New" package is Ver. 3 of the PWCG "modulations" files (to be installed manually in the PWCG ver. 16.3.1; see directions included in the larger, consolidated package). Ver. 3 of the "modulations" files increases wind and turbulence settings, as well as provides greater chance of encountering more capable AI when flying PWCG campaigns, especially if used in conjunction with my newer AI mods. for RoF (such as ver. 1.36 or 1.4, included in the big consolidated package).
      Important Note: if using the Ver. 3 PWCG "modulations" files, instead of the Ver. 2 ones included in the big consolidated package for RoF -- make sure to change settings, if you choose to change any, from within the modulations, i.e., the RofCampaignSpecific, files themselves -- otherwise, tampering with relevant settings from within the PWCG advanced menu options will automatically delete extra entries for the AI that I've included in the Ver. 3 modulations. This note does not apply to the Ver. 2 modulations since those don't contain any extra AI settings.
      Feb. 6, 2024 Update - RoF AI mods. vers. 1.36 and 1.4 have been upgraded to vers. 1.37 and 1.41, respectively. The new versions have tweaked the AI's ability to follow commands more quickly and/or properly. Ver. 1.41 also contains further tweaks to safe alts. for the AI, to minimize unnecessary crashes and very low-level dogfighting. The entire consolidated package has been renamed from "Consolidated Mods New" to "Consolidated Mods New V.2" (i.e., Version 2).

      This mods allows you to fly the following aircraft (doesn't include all the variants);
      Many thanks to Trevisol for making the mod and sending me the file with his permission to download
      A-1 A-6 AN-12 B-57 F-104 E-2C EA-6B F-84F IL-28 J-6 MIG-15 MIG-17 MIG-19 MIG-21 MIG-23 MIG-27 Mirage 5 Spitfire SU-7 TU-16 TU-22 TU-95 Vampire Vautour YAK-23 YAK-38 This mod is just a simple addon that adds a few pre existing cockpit into a lot of aircraft that was not allowed for the player to use, only the AI.
      Since it's lightweight, it use the already included cockpits of the F-8, P-51, Mirage and a few other aircraft, with a couple of changes here and there;
