Attack target.

I have a target. Asgard in my wing has attack with commander. Asgard does nothing.
Unless open the map select the asgard rightclick on the target attack target.
What happend with the rebirth way? When i have ships in my winf i just select the target and they actually attack a target. No map required.
Hey. Shooting at me. So instead of avoid enemy bullets i open a map to cover my face with it.
Press F with the selected target and i see everything but attack target. It is hostile.

Yeah the Asgard will do nothing unless the commander attacks first on that case sadly.

Set the Asgard to Intercept.... see how that works.

The "Attack" command in X4 is more of a suggestion than an order..

[af_2017]

I've noticed that subordinates with attack role will do actions in the following order:
1. follow you.
2. attack your target.

And the "problems" here:
1. if 1. is not completed the 2. will never happen.
2. also it is not clear what is the distance for 1. to be completed

Basically that works good for small and fast ships and not very good for slow and large ships.

interecept unfortunatly means only S and M ships get attacked by that order. Not exactly the best role for an asgard.

It makes sense but it also makes sense if the Asgard attacking first with the big guns then the calvary arrives. My Asgard with intercept command not even pretending to comply. 0/ms

Back in early X3R I had ships in my wing. They did attack my target*. That was the last time I have had wingmen.
X4 has fleets; AI commander and AI escorts. The player is too maverick to be any part of fleets.


OT: Why do I now feel that "Attack Capitals" turret command does not open fire unless some foe shoots us first? Like "Defend", but only against big targets?


*I was between them and the target and they had Mass Drivers ... 15 years and still hurts ...
