Some AI question for FC 1.1

[Perry]

i would like to have some more precisions about AI because

i keep reading that AI has been improved in FC 1.1 and that the

wingmen behavior has been modified so that they have now stop

to do stupid things like dropping all their ammunitions when fired

at by a SAM.

 

But, does the general behavior of wingmen has been modified :

- i mean aggressivness, even on excellent they lack aggressivity,

- do the SUs are now able to do the F-pole Manouver when firing an R27 : even when they have the advantage, wingmen keep flying towards the enemy, thus get shot at by enemy, so they have to break lock to engage a defensive manouver & thus they get shot down............... :\

 

Also i have a lot of troubles with the "engage bandits" command (F1-F1-F3).

- Sometimes, wingmen will engage the wrong bandits when using this command : they engage bandits faaaar away whereas there are bandits already engaging us at 60 km.

- Using the FBP, setting up a 4vs4 plane engagement (AI on excellent), i noticed that if i use the engage bandit commands for all my wingmen (F1-F1-F3), only my 4th wingman will engage bandits and fire a missile. If i want my 2nd and 3rd wingman to engage bandits i have to tell them individually (F2-F1-F3 & F3-F1-F3), which is very upsetting, otherwise they will do nothing except being shotdown.

 

also i use Lock on 1.02

 

any information would be welcome

The inadequate wingman AI has been discussed ad naseum on the UBI forum. It was covered months ago; wingies do stupid things, and often don't do as they are ordered.

 

Hopefully it will be addressed sometime, but I have seen no assurances that it will be fixed. Sorry.

 

 

EDIT: I overlooked this statement by Shepski :

 

"The AI was worked on a lot and is much improved... wingmen are now much more effective and will also have a better chance at survival for example."
