AI not so Homicidal now but still suicidal

[aairon]

I thought the AI was pretty much sorted out because since I've been flying BS2 I haven't yet been totally taken out by my wing-man. I was doing the south ossetia pirates mission and keeping some forward progress as I was climbing the highest ridge on the way to the next way-point and just after cresting the ridge I heard a sound like a empty plastic bucket bouncing of a concrete wall, not at all like a chopper crashing so I thought for a millisecond that it may have been outside IRL.

At that millisecond I heard an explosion so I'm thinking NO WAY that thing just crashed so I whipped it around to see a burning mess just on this side of the ridge so he must have just hit the edge.

Give me a break he was looking out the same kind of window I was and I cleared by a good 5 feet.

So is it just me or are they still killing themselves as before?

The reason I ask is that in Black Shark original I used to find the nearest ridge after takeoff if I had a wing man so I could get him out of the way and not be accused of fratricide, now that they aren't actually tring to constantly kill me I like having them around but I do like flying low over ridges.

I think something similar happened to me, I was flying the A-10C, and found a Russian side Mi-24, then I decided to do a "fly by" and watch him shooting at me, flew over him, and he did somehow a "Pugachev Cobra" and died.. that was funny lol

Pugachev Cobra SU-27 OK, MI-24 not so good, need very much altitude.

yeah, the AI MI-24 especially likes to point his nose as if he's flying a Starfury instead of a helicopter...

One time I saw an AI Mi-24 hovering a few hundred feet below the top of a ridge.

 

For the longest time I assumed he was hiding from fighters then I joined a CA slot and found he was trying to follow a waypoint! The poor bugger ran out of engine power to clear the ridge and didn't even try to go around it :megalol:

I wonder if he ran out of fuel and crashed or had infinite fuel he maybe still flying in the digital world.
