I have been flying for the RAF in both Spitfires and Hurricanes using several pilots/airfields. I notice that what appears to be quite a few flights end (looking at details after having landed), where the enemy is spotted and engaged, where my fellow flight members have NOT fire a single shot. And in instances where there are 7-8 flight members too. They land safely btw, but again, not a single shot taken, except by me. This strikes me as odd obviously. Possibly an AI glitch?

It Seems the devs have been a little conspicuous by their absence of late...is WOTR no longer supported?

No, they always come around but have other responsibilities and maybe taking time to enjoy life too.

They are B_lls to the Wall working on the WOFF addon. I haven't ever noticed what you are experiencing in any of my past Campaigns, but I have not been in a real Campaign in a couple of months. Oh to have the free time to just fly a Campaign in WOTR and also in Desert Wings Tobruk. Maybe by Christmas! rolleyes

WOTR is of course still supported. We do support in email and sometimes in the forum.
Yes we are still here, just working totally flat out on WOFF. There are basically two of us working full time. When we finish this WOFF update, the plan is to work on WOTR next.

AI decisions depend on many variables hard to say depends on the situation really. Maybe the AI leader did not spot the enemy. If you are QC maybe spread the distance some rather than starting very close together.

Make sure you are up to date with the latest WOTR patch there were some improvements along the way that may help, such as better AI Morale in QC

Thanks Polovski. With respect to your response, this is happening in a campaign, not QC, and the formation is spotted by the AI leader because it is called out. Also, I am patched to the most up-to-date patch. It just seems that more times than not that the skirmishes end up with the British AI getting no kills. In many of these instances also I am getting anywhere from 1-2 kills, so I was thinking that my performance is NOT negatively affecting the AI. But that is what it is.

I always fly as leader. These debriefings I happened to have saved from RAF campaign missions show the AI regularly firing and getting kills. IIRC I have AI gunnery reduced to reduce unrealistic bomber massacres.

It's possible sometimes cloud (even thin cloud could do it) blocks AI vision or something.
(Of course remove any mods etc). You could try leading the flight and commanding an attack and see if that helps.

Lima33's results seem quite variable which is good. Probably need 20 or 30 runs to see. Randomness causes all sorts of patterns of course.

I generally do not lead, but will try that. Thanks for input.
