Do we need AI at all? I do not think so...

And everyone want to be a pilot .

No AI for an MMO, oh wait, those do need AI.

For the newbs that have no clue of the game they just bought.

They're in the game for the first time, and their a55 is a wad of cookie dough.
After a few weeks, he was carved out of wood.

The cookie dough players will want AI just to learn the game and pick it up, instead of going out with others and getting sniped / bombing / rushed / shanked / detonated at spawn point by the uber players


And if you've been to this wonderland called mission4today . . . then you know lots. I mean lots. Like enough to vote out the US current president twice, americans use enough water bottles in a week to circle around the globe 12 times, works 60% of the time All the time . . .

Lots of people do campaigns with only online aspect is to download them.

AI would be pretty useful to keep the bombers flying in formation, the flak to send bursts up around your altitude etc . . .


And the first rule of game longevity is SDK
Second rule of game longevity is SDK

What does that have to do with AI?

Video game impression dents are done by AI (realistic AI) . And first impression helps with longevity. Can't have longevity if someone isn't into your game.

Well people are entitled to an opinion, even if its wrong. The spirit of a good law just prevents wrong opinions from being imposed on other people.

Now we have tanks, we have aircrafts, we will have some ships..probably. I am sure.

Soon this simulator will become all round war simulation.
If you see a tank, he is man driven and operated, if you see a submarine it is man driven and operated, same for the aircrafts.
My oppinion is:
The development team is loosing their time with AI. Thats all.

The better way is for example:
6 aircrafts fliable;
6 tanks drivable;
2 submarines drivable;
2 anty-submarine ships drivable;
2 heavy destroyer ships drivable;
2 trucs drivable;
2 anty tank guns operable;
2 anty aircraft guns operable;

and thats all +PLUS very detayled 3D models and phisics models.

There will be real war simulation! Man agains man.

Regards!

no ai is horrible even for online gaming.do we need ai?of course we do.
i have never seen 20+ bombers in formation, flown by humans, and probably i never will.for those scenarios, which are essential in simulating any historical air combat, you just need ai. sorry, but your opinion is.......

anyway, you are probably stating, what we will face with 1c next project....no ai,pay to play on small maps against tanks and maybe even submarines, while the flight models suffer....

i dont know, and i have to wait for the announcement, but somehow i have the feeling, that cliffs was my last purchase from maddox games..

gents, please go and cast your vote in bugtracker's AI relevant issues from the "AI and communication" il2bugtracker issues.. thread

and understand once and for all, that the vast majority of this game's customers are offline players, and that AI is needed for online persistent battlefield simulation anyway.

With the June deadline to announce what they are up to, we should have some answers by 2 weeks.

I think this question is just filler .. the real question is, when do we get access to SDK, so we can fix AI bugs!

I whole heartly support the hard work the new russian team are doing to fix bugs ASAP but the bug list is growing faster, i think. And when you see bug reports like "the 98.76 octain fuel is only giving 123.78645 plbs of thrust on a winters day last sepquemby .. " and many people support this .. bug ? when the game doesn't have a proper "1946 like" mission recorder, you can see getting proper game play for offliners is going to take forever!

I really need access to the source code .. for dummies!

I don't think they'll release an SDK at all.
