cheating AI?

[LuSi_6]

Hi folks,

 

I just got myself a copy of the Dora and the P-51 module.

 

After a few offline digfights I realised some strange AI?!? AI P-51 is doing low speed loopings all the time. They pull perfect loops at less than 300 km/h and my Dora can't follow them. It feels like the AI is somehow cheating, creating energy out of nowhere. The same goes for AI Doras when I jump into the Mustang.

 

Or do I miss something? 3250 RPM at almost 2 ATA should give me lots of power, but following the AI feels like flying a 747 with only one out of four engines running... :joystick:

ai uses a simplified flight model, and they retain energy quite good...having said that, with a bit of practice you should be able to keep energy better then them, and also really easily outturn them.

thx, I hope Edge will give us some better AI. So I's not my Dora that performs bad, it's overperforming AI. Good to know. As soon I can take of without killing myself I'll go online :)

mh nope AI is not overperforming.they just do not follow the same physic rules if you want to say so...but with training on your side they will not outperform you.

 

EDIT: yes, flying online with and against human pilots is way more rewarding!

And take more bullets than Godzilla fighting the Japanese army.

It can be frustrating at first but I've always found the AI Dora fairly easy to kill once you know its typical behavior. For me the 51's AI is a little harder to defeat... Maybe it's just my poor gunnery skills in the 190.

I find the gunsight in the Dora is awesome. It makes it almost as easy to kill as F-15 radar guided gunsight. My aim the Dora is pretty good, but sucks in the P-51...

Usually I give the enemy P51's a couple more % of fuel over my own plane.

 

Gives you a slight (hard to catch) chance to out-fly it.

Real pilots make mistakes, DCS AI doesn't.

 

Hammerheads and high yo-yo's normally do the trick though.

 

I'd like to see AI stall out one day, like a script that adds a bit more stick-pull in every 100th turn or something.

Unfortunately human P-51 players don't fly like the AI so deflection shooting is constantly used in the Dora when playing online. I find it incredibly easy to kill the Ai Dora with the Mustang... usually 2 turns and blow it out of the sky when it tries a climbing turn.

Practice your get there , make your own mission and have them fly average pilot . that's what im doing .
