Why don't the AI fighters engage?

[Badger343rd]

Ok...got two flights on an intercept ...3 fighters plus my flight of 2 for 5 total against 8 enemy fighters.When engageing and destroying all fighters, the after action report shows me and my wingman with kills,but the other flight hasn't fired a single shot???Is this a mission building issue or a bug?both flights are identicle in set up accept for numbers of fighters.Whats up with that?Is there something that needs to be enabled in the mission editor to allow them to engage?

Also,when I engage a target , my wing man engages it also and sometimes (more often than not) steals the kill...eveytime I lock target in reticle...I hear him say "engageing"...like I've told him to attack target....but I haven't???Is there some way to tell him to leave my targets alone and get his own?

And where are the DEV's with support in this forum,lots of bug reports but no feed back as too weither or not they're being addressed?ONE thing for sure is the control options interface is a mess...took a whole day to programe the saitek as it was sooooo difficult to get the controls to customize.I mean really,it could have been simplier by a long shot.

There doesn't seem to be any devs here to look into the issues. When I'm not feeling so lazy I'll email the addy given in the SS:TGS credits and point him to my copiuous bug list .

Though he doesn't seem to have been online or posted since mid-dec.

I don't think they always try for your target. They don't seem to with me. Just look at what they are engaging and then target something else. They shouldn't change targets until their present one is dead.

Okie dokie...[:)]Any ideas on the other element in a custom mission NOT engageing at all then?their where 3 in the flight and not a single shot fired by any of them.note that these guys were in fact in the same vicinity as my flight and the bandits.
