Hi All.

I am not sure if this is a problem with the AAA mod or 4.09b1, but it is extremely annoying.

My AI Wingmen are very unreliable. If i order them to attack a ground target as i pass over ( Not heading for ) or as I circle the target, they release their bombs as soon as i press the command. I can only get them to bomb accurately if I order them to attack whilst about a mile from the target.

I know some people might like that factor, but I dont.

Also, and this is the most annoying, I have a Mosquito Mk B XIV mission, where i level bomb stuff

I approach the target, open bomb bay and attack, all the while pressing attack target, attack vehicle/ armor etc, but no matter what I do, they will not attack at all. I open the bomb bay doors, i drop, and they still dont do anything.

If I approach at low level, and using the correct method mentioned above, they drop, albeit innacurately, and not level.


Is this something i am doing wrong???

One final thing, even in a dedicated bomber like the B24 the wingmen seem to attack either as i drop or randomly. Can someone give me a basic idea of how to do proper bombing with wingys,

Thankyou very much in advance!!

me, i'm fairly useless, but i *think* youneed to padlock targets and that way the bombers will put a bit more effort in bombing. Don't ask me how, i've no idea, but i think it's possible to choose ground targets for them to aim at. Same as padlocking targets for your ai aircraft to have a go at in the air. Someone who isn't incompetant might want to varify what i'm saying though.

Shoot them above target, then they will drop bombs :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

hmm, remind me never to be your wingman, ever!

Okay I tried padlocking ( and it is possible with F5 I think), and they fly around for half an hour then fly into the ground.... You know, I'm getting a sudden and very strong urge to do what you say and shoot them. Very Very Very annoying :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :mrgreen:

Do you reckon they ever used a single Mosquito to bomb Berlin? Because the wingmen were (BLLLEEEEPPPP) s????

Thanks for youe help guys

I've found a way round. As i get to the bomb drop point, press 'cover me'. They jettison their bombs, but quite often go into line abreast and crash into each other. Any more suggestions???

What I found works for me is to avoid the last waypoint before the target. As soon as I can padlock the ground target I tell my fly to attack my target and they go right after it. 'Course, I usually fly P-38s and P-47s or rocket eqipped F-4Us. The planes usually will drop thier bombs kind of fast and not all the bombs hit the target, but the AI's then make the successive passes using thier rockets and guns and do a pretty good job of finishing off the target. Even on the odd occasion I have just bomb laden fighters, they will make repeated attacks with their guns.
