I don't think AI behavior has been changed and it is something people have been asking for. There have been posts setting out how AI can be greatly improved by changing stock settings. But I remember when I first started playing Forgotten Battles how unnerving it was when the enemy icons on the map would all begin converging on me from every side.

I was shocked to see that CloD's AI is worse than IL2:1946 even pre 4.11 (where TD did a tremedous job improving the AI).

I really hope all the grafics engine recoding is finished by now and the devs get to work on the sim aspect of CloD.

I think they have improved AI but it still has a ways to go to be as good as IL2 or ROF. It is better but AI still acts a little robotic at times and at times the plane's movement seems a bit jerkey that screams "Game." I can fly ROF and while it's far from perfect, I feel like I'm dogfighting with men, not a machine.

Please, Rof is a tremendous sim, but AI is pretty pathetic there. Yes it does fly "honest" FM, but its dumb beyond belief. RoF ai is all about spiralling to the ground level and then just keep circling in one direction. Its almost funny, just how one dimensional it is -whether it flies an agile Dr1 or speed demon Spad - it does the same thing ALWAYS. Yes, current clod ai is better (on balance) imo - at least it will mix and match a few different tactics.

Spit AI is pretty smooth now, 109 ai are just a touch jerky - but its worlds better compared to the current steam version CLoD.

I really don't care about AI. Online is where it's at. Human competition is so much better in every way that once you have played online you would never go back to flying offline.
I don't play CLOD or ROF offline cause I just don't get that feeling you get when you are fighting a human opponent that you know is really good pilot. The fear of getting shot down and humiliated and the triumphant moment when you shoot a human pilot down and you know he is good pilot. And you know you were lucky to survive that fight.
I just came back to CLOD after leaving disappointed. The lastest patch really impressed me.

Ah, come on, in a discussion about AI an argument that "AI does not matter" does not score It's like discussing merits of different bikes and then coming up with a an argument "hey I dont like bikes, cars are better"

AI is crucial imo as online is about sport and furballs; atmoshpere, history etc need offline.

Ai WAS changed Bombers no longer fly like fighters, stupid roll rates fixed, comms implemented, etc

Excellent.
