Drone Bomber Engines React to Damage on the Main Formation Plane
« on: November 17, 2017, 12:44:58 PM »
This happens to me a lot when flying B-26s and I take damage (oil hit) to the main plane.  The engine will continue running as it is supposed to until the oil problem makes it stop.  When that happens, the same engines on both drones also stop turning though they took no damage at all.  If the main plane is lost, those stopped engines suddenly start operating again.

Huh????

Could that be an attempt to "normalize" the other two drones to match the lead?  Maybe just a visual bug?

It's an issue that the drones do the same as the lead, if you shut down an engine so do the drones.

Net effect is very small, since the drones can still keep up.

Thanks for the reply.  I wasn't sure if it was supposed to do that or not.  You're right, it isn't a big issue, just something I noticed.
