Orel and AI carrier planes

[SuperFloridaMan]

So i'm trying to understand if its just me doing something wrong or its something I don't know about. I've been really playing with the mission editor and making a lot of custom missions but I still cannot get enemy airbases and carriers to effectively launch aircraft in any capacity. They don't run patrol, they don't attempt to intercept incoming aircraft they just sit in the formation and launch helicopters. I've tried using multiple different mission types on the fleet editor as well including the ASuW settings. Anyone have advice on this. Deck operations in the editor also seems to be nonfunctional.

Thanks

launching aircraft for a.i from airbases or carrier is not currently in the game. i hope they implement it tho.

Thats kinda kooky but makes sense. Well I guess all my custom missions that I have currently worked on will be on hold until they change that as the carrier is kinda pivotal in the Soviet ability to respond. Thanks

Carrier AI is a joke. Was able to sink (in a 1 on 1, no escorts) the Nimitz with my Kiev. WITH FORGERS! FORGERS! (took a while, though :))

You can set up patrol routes in the mission.ini by adding some text lines. Check the workshop and look for a mission called "Scramble", its a test scenario that shows how it works.
