I try to make unit target only Mechanical units in PY and DatEdit. I set with or without "flying" +- "ground". Still the unit attacking all targets. "mechanical" parameter just appear to not work.

what i do wrong?

The targeting flags don't affect how units' target selection. Units will always try to attack ground units if they have a ground weapon and air units if they have an air weapon.

Those flags determine 1) if a spell can target a unit of that type (if the order has the "use weapons.dat targeting" flag set) and 2) if the weapon will deal damage to that type of unit.

CUnit* orderTarget = unit->orderTarget.unit;

if(orderTarget && orderTarget->id == (units_dat::BaseProperty[orderTarget->id] & UnitProperty::Mechanical)){
