Just playing an old scenario of defiants attacking bombers and I've noticed defiant gunners RARELY decide to fire on a bomber ? even if it's fairly close and ideally situated - 6 High.
Of 6 aircraft in a squadron, only 2 defiants fired, mostly inaccurately. even though they are ACE gunners ! ?????
WOT DA F happened ? Looks like a HUGE Nerf.

Did you give them orders to 'attack bombers'?Originally Posted by HurricaneHarvest
Or did the mission have programming to designate the bombers as the Defiant's target?
Defiants are fighters and will focus on enemy fighters typically unless given orders.
That went Really weird, really fast. I changed 2 way points to "Engage Bombers" and defiant pilots decided to fly a large loop, away from the bombers ! ?? Luckily these changes weren't saved when I saved the scenario. it went back to "Normal fly".
Still the gunners refuse to fire when an enemy is in an ideal location. Is this a defiant Nerf or a bomber turret Nerf ? or just a new bug ?
This is how it use to work.

You cannot see all the defiants firing but you can hear them, and the damage they do.

Nothing has changed... I would suggest you look at your mission parameters.
Well the spacing between aircraft has changed, and this seems to be the problem. In the past I had my defiants in a fairly tight / normal line astern, when one defiant was in a good position to fire, the others were also. Leading to led flying everywhere !
Now, with am much wider gap between planes, when one is in a good position to fire, the rest are far away.. I've tried VIC formation and others but the gap is still a problem.
As I've said before, we need tight formations for bombers, for supportive fire and looser formations for fighters (German's finger 4 would be a nice addition) We NEED user definable formations - should be simple enough, place an aircraft a certain X, Y, Z distance from the previous plane = done.
Please add this simple feature. .. or go back to the previous spacings

The situation with the AI Defiants is a complex one and unfortunately not one which will see a quick resolution.
We have limited resources and have to focus them on issues and improvements which affect larger sections of the game.
It is unlikely you will see a solution to these problems till TF 6.0 is released.
