Is my CPU stupid or serious problems of AI ?

[Majesco]

I wanna talk about the artificial intelligence of Lock On. Playing LO for a long time, i find that we're having some very serious problems that can't be fixed with LO's AI from the time of LOMAC 1.0 till now, especially you guys may see these bugs happen just in dogfighting or carrier/ airfield landing. There're some cases:

 

1. Carrier Landing: as we known, width of runway on the airfiled is bigger than carrier's runway so you can land 2-3 fighters at once (just 1 plane can land on the carrier at a time) but if you're the leader of a Su-33squad with 3 or 4 flight ships, when you fly around the carrier and command wingmen to land first, 2-3 remainings will land at once :badmood: , when the first plane caught the cable the second plane crash into him & the third crash into them, all explode. :spam_laser:

 

2. Airfield Landing: when i slowly close to any plane of a flying AI squadron (2-4 aircrafts) he of course lean to the left/right to prevent a crash, it's normal but if in a gunshot dogfight, when my enemy ran out of bullet he'll turn to the airbase, i follow him to the airfiled & find which runway he's gonna land, i cut his landing line to make him turn a round base while i land first at the opposite course, go to the end of runway to the position enemy'll touch the ground, turn engines off to wait, surely the enemy found me on the runway but he's still to land. The result is enemy crash into me, both explode :huh: :megalol:

 

3. Dogfight, some cases:

 

A/ 1 vs 4 (me vesus a squad of 4 enemy fighters) play gun only: at least 1 or 2 enemy planes disengage & run away, just 1-2 remainings really join the dogfight & chase me. The others do maneuvers, lower altitude & suicide by crash-dive into the ground, problems is nobody chase them.

_ Suicidal rate of at least 1 of 4 enemies is: 95%

_ Suicidal rate of 2 of 4 enemies is: 70-75%

_ Suicidal rate of 3 of 4 enemies is: 10-20%

 

B/ 1 vs 3 (enemy planes): at least 1-2 planes disengage & run away before the dogfight starts, do maneuvers and the final stop is, of course, the ground: he/they crash into the ground himself/themselves without anyone chase him (them).

_ Suicidal rate of at least 1 of 3 enemies is: 90%

_ Suicidal rate of 2 of 3 enemies is: 10-20%

 

C/ 1 vs 2: at least 1 plane do suicide by crashing as above, rate is about 50%

Very interesting observation. That's the reason why a lot of players choose to only practise weapons employment with AI opponents.

 

If you want better enemies / wingman, fly at HL.

Online Rules :P :D

when my enemy ran out of bullet he'll turn to the airbase, i follow him to the airfiled & find which runway he's gonna land, i cut his landing line to make him turn a round base while i land first at the opposite course, go to the end of runway to the position enemy'll touch the ground, turn engines off to wait, surely the enemy found me on the runway but he's still to land. The result is enemy crash into me, both explode :huh: :megalol:

 

AI seems OK here, but you...landing at OPFOR AB?!! You'd be killed for sure IRL!

 

Suicidal rate of at least 1 of 4 enemies is: 95%

_ Suicidal rate of 2 of 4 enemies is: 70-75%

_ Suicidal rate of 3 of 4 enemies is: 10-20%

 

Are you fighting Japanese F-15J here?! Might be Kamikaze pilots!

Kamikaze pilots :megalol: j/k (some AI planes ran away at the beginning of dogfight & hit the ground, bullshit)

 

I wanna say this bug may happens to all AI air-interceptors, if you vesus at least 2 AI enemies
