AI AIM-54 Salvo

Will you Heatblur be able to set up your AI F-14A/B (and/or your AIM-54 entity) so that the AI will be able to shoot multiple AIM-54 simultaneously in TWS against aircraft? While the Heatblur AI F-14 is currently indeed able to shoot multiple simultaneous Phoenix at incoming anti-ship missiles, it is not capable to engage aircraft simultaneously. This makes the HB AI F-14 very ineffective in fleet defense scenarios, with the aircraft shooting single AIM-54 and then cranking. This means it usually gets only 1-2 Phoenix engagements until it merges with bomber formations and then engages in close combat with Sparrow, Sidewinder and gun. Usually the AI runs out of fuel before out of Phoenix missiles.

Please see attached a track with the old legacy F-14A/AIM-54 which demonstrates that the AI is capable to engage multiple aircraft simultaneously. It should hopefully be possible to set up your F-14A/B/AIM-54 the same way.

That's unfortunately DCS side, we have a tracker for it open with ED. The issue is that the phoenix doesnt seem to be designated as a TWS missile (unlike the old one, from DCS).

Thanks, that is good to know. Hopefully it will be able to adjust this in order to have the AI F-14 perform better in Backfire defense.

Wonderful, today's patch fixed this. Now the AI is murdering bomber formations like it is supposed to :)
