AI during landing
I read somewhere that TD were looking into possible changes to the AI in the game, and I was wondering if there was any way of improving the AI of friendly a/c during landing ?
At the moment if I am No 2 and my flight of four are coming in to land , then No 3 and No 4 just follow me and can quite often crash instead of getting into the landing pattern. The only way I've found to get round this is to hit the Autopilot, and after my a/c starts following the landing pattern then 3 and 4 ignore me and start landing ( then I can switch Autopilot off ), but if I forget it can quite often result in a/c losses that should never happen.
As a small expansion to this request, as in the above scenario if No 1 lands then No 2 becomes leader but cannot issue orders for 3 and 4 to "return to base".
Likewise, if the leader is shot down during a mission, then the next numbered a/c becomes the new leader but can't issue any orders.
Is there any way TD could come up with a fix for that ?
As an offline flyer a fix for either or both of the above would be very welcome, but I have no idea whether it would be easy, difficult or even possible to do.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
