A-10C SIngle player instant action: Wingman Stupid (after last patch?)

[bbfloyd]

I mostly play the two Easy and two Medium difficulty instant action missions, with realistic settings, Travk IR5 and HOTAS Warthog setup.

I would normally use my Wingman for SEAD work, having him burn his Mavericks on the Anti Air systems encountered at each waypoint.

Used to be if he had called out he had spotted air defenses, I could tell him to simply engage air defenses, or if I had spotted a ZSU or SA9 and set my SPI to it, I could call out "Engage Air Defenses at my SPI with missile", and he would take care of it; no muss no fuss, and totally reliable.

Now he just replies with a mix of "Unable", or if I had anchored him somewhere he wil lradio "Unable" follow by "Rejoin" followed by "RTB", though he doesn't actually RTB, he rejoins. I can often get him to engage armor targets without problem, after he glitches though not always.

Anyone noticed this?

Suggestions?
