Tips for AI Handling

AI Handling

Note: These tips are now almost all completely outdated, apart from the tip to spread flights out.

TASK	AIRCRAFT	ISSUE	SOLUTION	NOTES
Anti-ship	AV-8B	Frequently shot down by ships	4 x S-3B is effective	Aircraft that use AGM-65s for anti-ship often fly directly over the target.
Anti-ship	F/A-18C	Ineffective at destroying ships	4 x S-3B is effective	F/A-18Cs don't fire all harpoons at once. S3-Bs engage with both harpoons quickly.
Strike	Any Strike	Drops a single bomb and leaves	Cruise missiles are more reliable (e.g. B-52)	-----
Strike	Strategic Bombers	Climbing and Speed Issues	Start in-flight, at 28,000ft and M0.8	Set altitude and speed in the mission editor.
S/DEAD	Any S/DEAD	S-300/SA-10 SEAD Strategy	[Info about TALDs and HARM PB/Loft here]	-----
Any	Any	AI crashes into me while taxiing	Wait for the AI to taxi first	Combine with other traffic solutions.
Any	Any	AI traffic issues (crashing/blocking)	Spread out take-off times (2+ minutes)	Combine with other traffic solutions.
Any	Any	AI won't take off from carrier	Set clients to take off from runway	Combine with other traffic solutions.
