With AI support realistic missions would be possible, but let's face it - ATM CloD doesn't offer more than pointless fighter combat with a few scarce other types thrown in. Nothing that even remotely resembles historical plane rates and mission profiles. And even if the darn engine worked as it should I know people would whine about AI involvement simply because of their own little superiority complex - as if engaging other players over the Internet was any grand achievement that sets them apart. 
I have no probs with people liking online, tastes are different after all, but I am extremely allergic to that patronizing tone of "Why pc pilots would prefer artificial intelegence over a real dynamic human is beyond me". I don't meekly accept when people belittle me and my views simply from their own POV. |
Sorry csThor, not my intention to belittle you or your views Its just that the guys I fly with are half the fun so its hard for me to think of flying against or with only my pc. I just hoped I might be able to show you our version of online play with coms as it stands today(sure to improve!)
Oh by the way, thanks for your early interest in the gtx580 3gb, I ended up getting one and last night I saw 2.47gb of usage as the gunner for ATAG_DOC in a 110
