Slowdive Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 I'm completely miffed by this. AI was not great before, but now it's essentially completely broken due to this new "feature", especially for anyone flying any warbirds or non-BVR jets. Did I just misunderstand this patch note?
dorianR666 Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 did clouds even have any effect on AI in the past? ive never noticed it. 1 CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600X GPU: AMD RX 580

It's already mentioned in the patch notes: Quote Currently as part of the initial release, clouds do not affect LOS for the AI. They've said that they still need to do sensor LOS - presumably the AI LOS will tie in here.

Danny_P Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Yeah the previous clouds/weather conditions/time of day never affected the AI's LOS, so these clouds haven't broken anything. Granted they've now made it harder for us humans, but at least ED have a framework/technology whereby they can affect AI's LOS very effectively.

Hi, you misunderstand, the AI are working as they always have, eventually the clouds will affect their line of sight, which will lead to more realistic engagements, so hiding in a cloud will work as a tactic thanks 5 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

However now that they are substantial, it seems to me that the only way to play against the AI is to not have clouds turned on at all, otherwise in the merge you would almost always lose due to loss of vision on your adversary, unless completely clear of clouds. Am I wrong? 1
