There is a bug where your fighters have ammo but do not attack and do not even chase... I
have not had it happen to me enough to identify the cause but I did crash shortly after it
happened once or twice.

Ammo might run out on you, thats when i use them as kamikazes. Although i had
one squad that somehow ended up having infinite fuel even when i moved them
around. tier100 scout anyone? :D

Yeah. All aircraft have 16 shots including bombers and scouts. After they pew pew out of
ammo they will start completely ignoring enemy aircraft.

I thought they had 16 shots...idk, havent played FP CV in a while lol
but yea, it means your fps are out of ammo if they refuse to shoot other planes. I'm
pretty sure this has always been so, but before the CV patch, FPs were shown to have 0
ammo, but it actually was limited

Post CV-Patch Fighters now have 14 ammo. This means 14 shots and they are out of
fuel. They either would not engage due the following:

a) Out of ammo
b) Low on fuel
c) No more fuel

No it is a bug, bet it happens when your ft's are at sea level. I have seen it a few
times. It is almost like they are not there except for the sight. AAW nor AA or enemy
fts will hurt them.

never really thought about it that way, but it sounds ligical

is there a similar explenation for the fuel bug?
where a fighter can stay out way longer than normal
for example;

launching 3 sq's, where 2 sq's crash, the 3rd one somethimes flies on for about 1 or 2
minutes, not responding to other fp.

Usually shortly after you order them to go somehwere they still crash, but if you dont set out
new orders, they can fly for a long time.


is that a bug? or is it something with a "deeper thought" as well?

Really??? I always believed fighters could fire an unlimited amount of times as long as
they had fuel. Thanks.

you answered your own question... fighters won't engage when they are out of ammo

i believe they only get like 14 shots or something like that... after that they just
become glorified scouts
