Some ideas for improving fighter doctrine

[Hawk66]

Hi,

I just want to share some findings during my tests with the doctrines for fighters:

• Speed modification in attack phase.
  If the aircraft is in weapon range to its target it does normally not make sense to intercept the target with max.speed.
  IF ( ( TgtRng < ( AttackRng / 1.1 ) ) AND ( ( TgtSource $= "Radar" ) OR ( TgtSource $= "Visual" ) OR ( TgtSource $= "Infrared" ) ) ) THEN {
  AttackBest
  SetSpd Maxspd / 1.25
  
• Land the aircraft if wilco...
  If the aircraft has no missiles left, it often makes sense to disengage and land
  
  Platform doctrine:
  var orderLand; //land if out of ammo
  ...
  IF orderLand THEN {
  DebugOut OwnName
  DebugOut "...will land"
  SetPriority 220
  Land
  } ENDIF
  
  Target Doctrine:
  ...
  IF ( AttackRng < 7500 ) AND ( AttackRng > 0 ) AND ( GetEntVar "orderToLand" == False ) THEN {
  SetEntVar "orderToLand" true
  ENDIF
  
  
• As Attacker turn the radar off
  eg. for a F-14
  SensorEnable "AN/AWG-9" off
  
  Unfortunately, the engine seems to fire radar-guides missile independently of the status of the radar. So, you would have to turn the radar on, if attackRng is reached...
