So there I was...
Or so the old story goes, Dog fighting against an Ace AI Pilot when My .50's finally found their mark, His engine belching oily black smoke, he started a slow roll and a raging fire was seen issuing from underneath. Seeing my foe was done for, I saved my ammo for there were more of his mates likely to show up at any moment. Then to my utter amazement, Three of my Robotic Wingmen; who were no where to be seen when I needed them, suddenly showed up to claim my kill as their own...
Can someone please find a way to make AI planes leave already damaged enemy alone?

Yes +1!

[DaBomb746]

+1! Quite Agreed!

[duffys tavern]

Yea, I'm with you fellows...

[Rowddy]

oh please yes i hate it when they do that.... and they always do that

[mig88]

Yes please! It's quite infuriating.

I must confess though, sometimes I have done it too to my "robotic wingmen", taking the last shots and claiming the kill as mine (and getting my revenge!!)

[rossmum]

Can't say they've done this to me very often at all - usually they just bugger off and the next time I see them is when I'm just about to land and they form on my wing out of nowhere.

Wow all of you just prove that none of ya are team players.

Unfortunately the AI doesn't leave much room for teamwork, even with Cert's mod. Half the time they do the absolute opposite of what I tell them to and the other half of the time, they vanish and leave me to fend for myself.

I love AI mod, But once a bot, always a bot. The kill steals are a pain.

When it happens lately i've just taken to shooting them.

[Vmax]

Top! I'm with you. In WWII most airmen left the wounded enemy a chance. I agree to
make them ignore wounded planes.

I agree, such a mod would be awesome

Hmm, that was uncalled for, the AI just don't play as team players. As stated by all the above posts they don't help you as a team, but they steal your kills, as a team. I make a lot of Coop missions and even the Bombers are very difficult to make them hit the target when they are AI and part of a flight of 4, When you are lead and the rest of the flight is AI they always seem to go after, what you are going after. Don't be a Troll :poke:

If there is nothing programmed into the ai relating to the condition of an enemy aircraft (I've never seen that there is) then I imagine it would be very difficult to create one, Though I may well be worng. It might be worth discussing this in Certs ai mod thread - I guess if anyone knows if it is possible it would be him.

This is a long standing problem with the Il2 series, both offline and in coop missions. Keeping the AI from attacking a doomed aircraft would be great. Keeping a human player from getting credit for attacking a doomed aircraft would also be great. Yeah, I've seen that happen as well. I guess the modification would have to occur in the scoring, not in AI behavior.
