"Attack my target/SPI" for AI wingman

[Nealius]

I'm having issues with AI wingman attacking targets 10~15 miles away from our tasked target, and frequently targeting groups of 4~5 vehicles a distance away from large groups of 15 vehicles that I'm engaging. Can we get an "attack my target" or "attack my SPI" command so the AI are actually useful?

[LeCuvier]

Not sure if maybe I misunderstand you, but I think we already have that option.

Give your wing man the following commands:

1. Engage with...

2. Select "Armor" or whatever you want him to engage

3. Select the weapon, e.g. "Missile"

4. Select "Default". This is your SPI

[Nealius]

Given the cardinal directions listed below "Default," that should be attacking from a "default" direction. Perhaps from wherever he happens to be at the moment of the command instead of circling around to attack from the North/South/East/West.

[LeCuvier]

You seem to believe that I don't know what I'm talking about? When you select 1 (= "Default") the message to wingman is "... at my SPI".

I have used it many times.

[Nealius]

No, I'm confused by ED's inaccurate nomenclature in the comms menu. If "Default" were changed to "at my SPI" then I wouldn't be asking these questions.

 

Nor would I be asking them if ED made an updated manual explaining the AI comms *shrugs*
