GeekyBoi Posted August 19, 2022 Posted August 19, 2022 Hello! I think the AI, particularly when using Russian aircraft, could be a lot more dangerous than they currently are with one simple option added to their behavior. This behavior I have in mind comes from my own tactics when using the newer Russian aircraft such as the Su-27 and Mig-29. I would like an option to modify the AI radar usage in a way similar to the existing option "Use for attack only", however, I think the AI should be able to avoid using the radar, unless it detects a track from an enemy aircraft, which would be a clear indication that their position is compromised. I find the existing option "Use for attack only" still doesn't allow the red aircraft to play to their strengths, being the IRST and ET, and "Never Use" means the aircraft may as well not have a radar at all. Red aircraft have a disadvantage in BVR against modern Blue fighters, surely the doctrine for these aircraft would take that into consideration, and call for tactics that allow red aircraft to play to their strengths. I would expect Russian aircraft to attempt to fly below the radar, to avoid the AWACS and Datalink capabilities of Blue, not to mention superior BVR missiles, and take part in pop up attacks from behind, using GCI's to vector them. So, I think a AI behavior option needs to be added, so that an AI will only use it's radar in response to a detectable track from a hostile aircraft (not TWS of course)
