Random Maneuvers?

[sparty]

Any idea on how to pull this off?

I keep wanting to do something where I have 1 plane doing basically random maneuvers with some kind of "exit" condition where it enters pursuit of a plane. Basically a solo variant that's based upon the bomber escort concept that was put forth by the designer.

The idea would be that the planes defending the bomber could peel off and "know" what's going on with the plane it was pursuing so that it could make "smart" decisions and you still had a chance to be elusive without it just being a follow the leader thing for the defending plane that follows...

Any ideas?

I did something similar for solo games, more for aircraft being threatened than for entering pursuit. I just did general guidlines for that. It's part of the Solo Campaign Rules download over on files, might give you some ideas if nothing else.

Take a look at "automated flight" rules in FoG module. That may help.:)
