msalama Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 ...or am _I_ nuts perchance? Anyway, this is what I'm seeing in the latest beta: You put 2 groups of AI fighters against each other, and if there's a hostile chopper nearby they'll ignore the enemy fast movers and go for the whirlybird instead. WTF? And the same thing with the AI helos. If they see an enemy fighter nearby, they try to down it with AGMs. Would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic :cry: The AI seems to have gotten itself in such a jam lately that one just can't use them anymore. Is the beta somehow porked, or am I doing something wrong? Used to be much easier IIRC... The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
ED Team NineLine Posted January 29, 2015 ED Team Posted January 29, 2015 You should post a track or the mission, there are other factors that might be causing the fighters to attach the choppers first. Post one of those and someone might be able to take a look, or it can be submitted to ED. Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
kontiuka Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Ya, I remember that video that was posted of a guy flying a Flanker and getting shot down by an Apache.
msalama Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 You should post a track or the mission I created about 10 random missions in a row with the latest beta mission generator, and this happened in all of them. So how about if folks autogenerated missions themselves and checked how the AC behave for them? I mean, there's hardly any point in posting tracks / missions anyone can create in a second. But yeah, I also edited one of these and plonked down a couple of FARPS, and when the choppers cold-started and took off from there the fighters _did_ actually attack each other. But on an airstart no dice, just flaky fighter behaviour... Strange. :huh: PS / EDIT: I will post a track / mission if folks insist however, but that'll have to wait until tomorrow. Other things to do ATM... The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
ED Team NineLine Posted January 29, 2015 ED Team Posted January 29, 2015 Well the fact you did it with auto-generated missions is nice info you should have included in the OP ;) In order for me, a tester, to report any issue I have to be able to supply a track or steps to reproduce the issue, so I am not trying to be a pain, but I need to be able to reproduce 100% is all :) Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
msalama Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 Sure mate, I understand completely. Tomorrow, I'll post an autogenerated run-of-the-mill mission where I see this occurring. S! The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
msalama Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 OK, I'm completely mystified. Created 2 missions, and fighters now seem to behave as expected by engaging other fighters first and other AC later. So I really don't know WTH happened yesterday :huh: Could some kind soul create one or two MG missions and see what happens at their end? This could've been just a glitch, but as I said it was repeatable. Gremlins gnawing at my computer? Voodoo? You tell me :helpsmilie: But yeah - if nothing else comes up by anyone, best just to close this bug "report" I think ;) If I can make any heads or tails of this, I'll most definitely report back. Thanks all! The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
ED Team NineLine Posted January 30, 2015 ED Team Posted January 30, 2015 I dont doubt you had a problem, the AI tends mess with you :) If you see anything strange, feel free to post up a track though, I know they are working on some AI issues so its always good to point out any new craziness :) Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
msalama Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 Roger that, I most definitely will if I still see something crazy going on. S! The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
msalama Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 Just a wee follow-up. I played with this a bit more, and observed nothing conclusive - the fighters engage each other immediately most of the time, but sometimes _still_ go for low-grade threats such as helos first. I just wonder why... The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
