Uh, quite a lot of problems with "Karelian Hawks"... first, after shooting down some of SB's I ran out of ammo... and my AI wingman stops responding to any kind of plea to attack remaining ones (attack bomber, my target, everything failed)!? Then we ran onto MBR-2 floatplane (Wingman following me to it), and then again refused to shoot it down (on 2nd mission retry, I rammed it out of pure desperation).
Then, in mission to strafe some trucks... AI wingman makes a kamikaze run into AAA position (twice!). So, I had to do strafing myself and combat that MiG-3 (and in P-36 it is like, to cite, "like fat man running uphill") since it was doing constant slashing attacks... but this is probably mostly my fault (AI is AI, I guess).
But, the worse was when Po-2 attack airfild while flight was moving to another airport... Instead to abort the landing and annihilate them, they left me handling Po's whose rear gunners have put my engine ablaze, (those limited-swivel crackshots!), crying for help. All while my AI-colleagues were making all-normal landing on obliterated airfield (and all watching Commander's DC-3 becoming ground, and me becoming an airborne firework)
