STEF78 -> ME 262 never acting as escort (7/5/2018 6:16:00 PM)

I noticed it for several turns but it's now clear. Me 262 never act in ground missions

See the example below. Do I miss something?

If you mean for manual selection of missions it is not uncommon but there is a workaround.

If you are using it as a bomber there is a limit of 14 bomber airgroups per mission, and a similar limit if you are using it as a fighter. The algorithm the AI uses just chooses twin engine fighter bombers last - so there may be 14 other types of bombers or similarly other types of fighters it prioritises.

If you set the all other bombers to air range equal to one apart from the 14 you do want to use, you should see IJG52 appear in that list as a bomber. Or analogously as a fighter.

Thanks!
I will check once I get the turn back!

I tried but it's not the explanation for the inactivity of the me262

It still looks like you have a lot of other aircraft able to do the mission - not until you switch enough of the others to range=1 so they do not fly can you be sure that it is not flying Me262 - at the moment it just looks like it is further down the list of choices.

Here is an example screenshot of all airgroups switched to air group range =1 except two of them. In this case if the Me262 did not appear it would prove the problem is with the airgroup. Because you have so many others available for the AI to pick you are only showing that the Me262 is too low a priority for the AI to put it ahead of others.

I set all groups except 2 at range 1. It doesn't still work

Yep that does look conclusive to me!



Denniss -> RE: ME 262 never acting as escort (7/9/2018 5:32:58 PM)

I should disable the Me 262 for the East Front - they were intended for and primarily used in West.

Jet Fighters, just like Night Fighters can only intercept, never escort.
