Fighter Squad Targeting!
« on: February 05, 2019, 12:47:02 PM »

So, a situation that happens to me a lot, is the following...

Bomber X is very dangerous and start coming towards one of my ships! I'm piloting a CV, i target the lead bomber and send my planes on engage! My planes shot down the lead bomber and deflect shot the other ones, but they don't finish the enemy bomber squad, returning to the carrier after the "target" is destroyed.

How to improve this? Instead of targeting a single fighter, target the full Squadron! This way fighters/interceptors can focus on "Air Superiority".

That behavior works even with Anti-Fighter Missiles, they strike the target 1, and only try to hit the others if they are very very close. There are cases that thoses missiles strike frigates or jump to be murdered by destroyers AA.

I honest don't know if is possible or if would break the cv AI. But i belive would be a go adition, especialy with the new revamps on the Escort System.
