oh, okay thanks for that info western, i think i remember some of that discussion.
so you think it's possibly related to a new feature which was implemented in 4.11 patch, which i've only recently discovered, when you try to padlock an enemy unit (default F4) you now get a radio message saying 'roger' - basically, this new feature has made it so that the AI 'reads' the padlock as if it is you pointing out the enemy to them.
although this feature may sound nice, for players like myself, who like to use the padlock feature purely for my own purposes, it's a real pita, and i'd like to see this feature removed.
possibly it is part of the same code changes that have caused this AI behavior change.
what's the bet it'll probably mess up the ability to padlock ships again, seeing as all these padlock features seem unable to exist independently, but i'm actually willing to sacrifice that ability if we can disable this new feature entirely - in any give mission, not only is it irritating to hear them acknowledging every time i padlock enemy targets - not only is the message irritating, but it interferes with mission play as well - i can no longer padlock an enemy plane without it causing one of my AI buddies to divert from his current task to come and attack my target, when all i am wanting to do, is quietly keep my eyes on this plane.
that might have been a mouthful - i hope you follow what i mean...
here is the thread where i first discussed this issue:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,41250.msg463529.html#msg463529i don't think its such a great idea to request TD to undo some new 'feature' they just added, but personally, i can't stand this feature, and would love it if it could be eliminated from my game.
i believe i'm not alone in this - in a minority, maybe - but not alone, lol
