Beta patch messed up the AI?

reflected · #1 04-16-2011, 07:26 AM

Since I installed the beta patch the enemy AI is acting weird. I saw many 109s to hyper fast rolls, like crazy, no human could do that, even worse than in the movie Pearl Harbor. When I fly a 109 my roll rate is about 1/3.

Have you guys seen this too?

I have'nt witnessed that no,but I did notice in the quick missions that whilst flying the Spitfire I had no tracers.

I flew the Hurricane to see if that was affecte,but that was ok,so it would appear there is a small bug that's been introduced with this patch.

We'll wait until Monday when the main update is done,

maybe they'll clean this up for us.

I have only had one or two ai dogfights with the beta patch but you might be on to something here, will check this out.

I noticed the same, AI, on both sides rolling about twice as fast as before and for a long time. First thought I killed the pilot but it just kept flying like that.

yes, had the same bug ...on the other side dogfights against Germans are more intense, but I agree its a bug

Yes I did see this too! Was flying Red over the channel in a Quick mission, spotted a 109 that appeared to be spinning but was more like a sped-up diving roll. I figured it was due to AC damage or dead pilot, but the 109 pulled right out and went back to flying normally. I'm still not sure it wasnt a spin and recovery tho. But it seems like too much of a coincidence that it recovered just in time to miss going into the sea.

Found the same thing. Wasn't particularly bothered by it until I unloaded on a spit, blowing off it's wingtip and the left half of its horizontal stabilizer, yet continued to do these absurd manuvers like it had before. I've also noticed the A.I. Has no qualms whatsoever about pushing their Merlin engines into a hard nose-over. It really bothers me when the A.I. isn't limited to the same constraints I am. I can understand the A.I. being able to do things very well, possibly beyond even what even the most skilled human pilot would be able to do, so long as it stays within the realm of the aircraft it's flying.

Just adding that I observed the same when flying against hurricanes.

Super-fast rolls. Those AI should be covered in their own vomit
