AI is on top of my list

I recall making a very thorough research of AI nonsense and such several years ago.

The AI is ignored, not just with Il2 or COD. It is very standard practice, because it is much easier to build another aircraft, map or object. People will be happy with the new stuff.

It is hard to care about the Offline player when that isn't your interest. So the developers just make the graphics stuff rather than work with through the very difficult process of programming probabilistic functions and algorithms for a competent AI performance.

The benchmark for AI performance is Battle of Britain II Wings of Victory. The improvements have been coming steady to their users for several years. All the COD development team needs to do is get a copy of the BOB WOV and study the AI, also the BOB WOV AI config files are openly shared.

We will see what comes of the AI, but I think it will probably require some of that passion associated with the term..."Keep their feet in the fire, they'll get the message". LOL
