[Reported]Beta AI

[gavagai]

Am I the only one who's tried fighting the AI in 1.5.4 beta?

 

I love this sim, but this new AI is a mistake in my opinion. Once you get onto its 6, it accelerates away with rocket boosters. When you finally catch it, it does not try to evade you, but just circles lazily while you shoot it.

 

Please try the open beta AI and share your opinion: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=169299

The passive AI in dogfights is reported for 1.5.4, thanks!

Thanks for report. But new combat AI isn't implemented yet. So this should be some side effects from other bugfixing. Could you please provide more information on it, saved track may be?

Was there some announcement over new AI? This sounds intressting, currently you can kill with the 109 all jet's with ease(only VEAO Hawk flys with energy management for some reason). I wondered for some time how ED build future Campaigns with F-5 vs F-15 or WW2 dogfights while the AI is no challange. (without cheating with SFM).

And it's possible old IL-2 the Team Daidalos did a awesome Job with capability of the AI.

Oh, I though this was a "feature" so I was just giving my opinion on it!

 

Easy way to reproduce the passive AI:

 

1. Select any of the quick combat dogfight missions (shouldn't include any air-to-air missiles).

 

2. Maneuver to the 6 of the AI

 

3. The AI will accelerate into a shallow spiral climb and will not maneuver if you are close behind it.

 

When I load up DCS later today I can make a track for you.

Yes, was reported and already fixed internally, waiting to check it when it comes through to the test version and hope it will make the next release.
