[WORKING AS INTENDED] AI Aircraft spot everything on the map

[Shadow KT]

AI aircraft spot every units with pin point precision on the map, from extreme ranges.

 

If there is a radar, it will show its location from 100+nm away. It might have less spotting range on ground units, but once it sees them, they will stay on the map until the jet is 60nm away from them (with its back towards them), lands or is killed/has died.

 

This is a huge problem playing realistic scenarios/campaigns, especially in PvP, where every one is moving their units and all of a sudden a transiting AI aircraft, which just has to go from point A to B, no weapons, 70nm away spots all the hostile tanks and SAMs on the map and it keeps them lit for a long period of time.

In one of the PvP servers we used to be able to call in tankers that would fly to your location. Well people would call them in and use them not to tank, but as a surrogate J-STARS lol. Of course they got removed because of this exploit.

 

Maybe there should be a checkbox that allows an AI to spot other units on the F10 map as an option in the ME?

That way spotting can be tailored to the mission, such as JTAC's having this ability but not other AI such as tankers.

I noticed this too and ideally, you want it realistic but if I had to choose between this and before which is AI finding no target, I'd choose this.

Don't know when is before, but this has been a thing for long period of time.

Hi

 

at this time this is working as intended, we are discussing it internally however.

 

When AI detect units with their sensors they report those locations.

 

Of course we do have options to make units invisible but that is not what you are going for here.

 

If I have any news to share in the future I will

 

thanks
