View Full Version : Has the AI gone better or is it my imagination?

I regurally play the stock London mission flying mainly the 109, it seems that the AI is
better now. No longer the sitting ducks that use to be, they seem to react much quicker and better evasion manouvres.
Or is it my imagination? The latest patch has been a while ago.

So it's me then, pff.
Well, I reinstalled and was dismayed to find that the AI still rolled unrealistically quickly as a first defense :(

The rolling about is bad enough, but what really gets my goat is the situational awareness of the AI. It knows exactly where my site is aimed and it may veer close to it, but as soon as it gets within a fraction of an inch too close it'll barrel roll right around the site aim. So if I'm right behind the enemy and he's veering from left to right it will get close to crossing the aim site's trajectory it will then barrel roll, avoiding any shot because the nature of the barrel roll has no pinpoint axis so it literally rolls AROUND the area where my gun spray would go. It does it almost every time - especially in the G50. I feel like I'm playing a game of "Whack a Mole."
It's infuriating to see that is still in this game from IL2:1946. The AI is the only thing I have a real complaint about. It's bad enough that all other aspects that need work don't matter to me. After playing !L2 1946 post 4.11 patch and up till that time not playing CoD I was sorely disappointed when I finally fired up this game.
Fingers crossed it will be fixed very soon after the graphics upgrade.

Ai got better? The Ai is the main reason why this game is still unplayable. Bitterly disappointing.
Allons!

It's funny you should mention this..... I was thinking exactly the same thing lastnight whilst playing the bomber intercept over London. I've never seen them duck and weave like that! Usually it's like shooting fish in a barrel and they really made me work!
It can't be a case of me getting worse as I was never any good in the first place! :D :D :D

The CTD issue will be the least of our problems...... when they rise up we will be praying for those pesky low frame rates! Who knows.... London may still be the safest place to hide from them even after the patch? :D

Yes, I'm quite sure that AI is difference. I think it has to do with a fresh install I did 2 weeks ago.

AI doesn't overheat - not even when all the coolant is out of its radiator.
AI can push over into negative Gs with any airplane.
It seems to me that the AI in CoD is a carbon copy of what we had in Sturmovik 4.09 or earlier. That kind of points to the possibility of the same kind of transplant from 4.11 - that would be very nice.

I doubt MG would be willing to integrate TD's work in their series, even if it was legally and technically doable.

Why? Legally I don't think there's a question. Technically - I don't think it's feasible to just take the code and copy/paste it, I was rather thinking about the specs for the AI behavior.

Hmmm... that is certainly a possibility as I had freshly installed also after reinstalling my OS. :) Just wish I could get my FPS back to how it was. lol

Best way to improve the quality of your enemy's AI is to simply join the ATAG server.. Plenty of pilots in there that will hand you your hat.
Hope to see u there.. :)

the AI planes are pretty bad, even if only flying as friendly escorts
few days ago did some sight seeing in southern england with 2 friendly escorts, they stayed close while level flying, but when i landed after 10 or 15 min flight one of them followed me down and promptly crashed into some houses near the airfield, the 2e AI went around and 2 min later made an attempt at landing (? or was simply circling the airfield and flying to low trying to stay near his leader) and promptly crashed into the ground.
today i did some stunt flying through some open hangers at a friendly airfield, started out with 9 escorts of AI, and after flying twice successfully through the open hangers i was left with only 2 AI escorts, the other 7 had all crashed trying to keep up with their leader
in il2 you could make this type of flight with no problems, and it was rare the friendly AI crashed, not so in CoD :(
