Crazy AI?

[Bloblast]

Yes,

I hope the AI will be improved as promised in the June 17th patch.
These are my findings after 130 hours against AI:

I flew around 500 KpH defending bombers and got passed by Hurricanes who flew
40-50 KpH faster. No way I can defend bombers at the moment. Topspeed of AI is clearly too high.

In the climb AI have far more energy than human flown AC.

I shot up AI pretty bad, holes in the wings. But it easily flew away from me with fresh AC.

Wingman is not defending me always when I'm attacked, also no warning from AI.

Some AI going for home base or landing seem to be asleep when being shot, easy prey.

oh yeah that reminds me.. about the wingman issues.. when i try to give them an order from the 'tab' options... like group, attack all fighters... i never get any response.. the other three wingmen just follow me around the sky.

can you actually give orders in this game as of right now?

No not at the moment. Luthier said this will come in the June 17th patch:
"* AI improvements, including at least the majority, if not all, of the order system working."

Whole A.I squad of 5 Hurris flew right into the drink with me as I missed the beach . One of them shot my cooler so i was dead-sticking it.

Reminds me of a time when a wingman in an I-16 flew circles around my dead-stick landed I-16. It continued flying these circles until it ran out of fuel and then proceeded to crash, with the A.I. pilot inside.

Don't hold your breath.
On a happier note, saw an Eastern Bluebird today at the birdfeeder. First one I've seen in over twenty-five years.

The best AI maneuver is the hand brake in the vertical climb.

You are in a vertical climb behind an AI aircraft. The AI then slows down and forces an overshoot whilst remaining perfectly vertical and still climbing.

In reality he would stall out.

The kamikaze AI is also too prevalent, many times the guy is on fire and he is still chasing my team mates.

the hand brake thing is one of the most anoying things.its impossible to lose speed that quick.i just can agree with all your comments.
-roll rate
-speed
-not responding when beeing shot at
-cruising home after combat ignoring totally that they are about to die, a total immersion killer
-crashing into each other(happens ridiculously often when their skill level is set to rookie)
-spits and hurries doing negative g manouvers,and that rapidly that one cant follow with a bf
-no communication with ai possible

ai definitely needs an improvement.but not only the ai but also the whole FM, as mentioned everywhere in this forum, needs to be looked over again and corrected.i hope they do that quick.

just an update... from what i can tell with this latest patch, the AI (109s and 110s) still go into crazy roll maneuvers when attacked... the 110 doesnt roll as fast though but the 109 is still ridiculous.

there's no way that its ability to roll that fast is accurate.
