andreasg Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Ok, so I send my planes out to down some UFO. I get engaged by an air superiority mission. Why is it that I can just go into manual combat, avoid the fighters, and then down the UFO I wanted to kill anyway? While the fighters ignore me :-) Shouldn't the air superiority force a fight on you to protect the larger UFOs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 They used to, but then you could never escape them and they'd basically just stun-lock your planes by endlessly engaging them in combat until you ran out of fuel. It was a bit lame. Perhaps fighters could do with a speed buff though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One on one they're no match for a condor, I just farm them for alloys. Are they supposed to be intercepting the dropship or something?

kabill Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 They'll move to attack any of your planes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreasg Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Yeah, they're a danger to your dropship. But not your fighters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 And when they aren't after your interceptors, they'll quite happily shoot down regional military and civilian aircraft. Military aircraft cause a small hit, but if UFO interceptors shoot down an airliner, you'll take a MASSIVE relations hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishguy117 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I really had to open my mouth. A fighter got my dropship. Goodbye A team. Hello Squad wipe after Squad wipe. I'll be in this corner, hoping the aliens do not find me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
