Default My only Complaint

First off I want to say THANKS to all for making this game and bringing it to console. I've been on these forums (BOP section)since there were only maybe 10 of us here. I'm in no way slamming this game, I LOVE it, and in my book it is a strong 9.0.

My only complaint is that the AI's are just to easy, I mean if you can take on 10 planes on Sim mode and live with one life, well you understand what I'm saying.. Now grant it I'm a PC Il2 player so I have been playing Il2 for a while. It is just that you shouldn't see Veteran AI's slamming into the ground for no reason, when your on their tail.

I hope that there is a way for them to fix this in a patch some where down the line, or maybe release some DLC that has ACE AI's that are way better.

Well thats it , Enjoy the game, It is a great game and I hope this is the start of a LONG running console series.
Thanks for your time and consideration, DESODE

I've noticed this in the demo aswell.

The AI have NEVER shot me down, even if I'm trying to let them do it. They do crash into the ground all the time for no reason. They are pretty bad, i was hoping the demo had dumbed down AI for the masses, obviously not.

As Han Solo said 'Good against remotes is one thing. Good against the living, that's something else.'

I guess the real challenge will come from MP.

I should be okay, I usually cheat at singleplayer games because I want to shoot/destroy stuff rather than getting killed myself, so this is good news for me in a twisted way

just a question, ar you playing with a flight stick or controller? obviously a person with a controller has a disadvantage against a stick-using-player, and this is probably why they dumbed it down a bit...

See i died on the demo while playing sim mode (collided) and i had respawns OFF, so one life only. Once i died, i didnt continue. When the time ran out it showed the mission carrying on with out me.... i could switch between all the other units and watch the fight unfold....


the AI hurricanes were shocking!!!! they would get right on the 6 of a HE111 about 100ft away..... and then they would open up. the tracers were always gnig BELOWS the target, every single time. Like it was scripted. Yet the 3 HE111's in formation would blow the hurricane out of the sky (it took one hell of a beating though before it went down).

I´ve been playing online today and I don´t think that AI in the game is bad. Really, I don´t know with who do you play, but the experience was very similar to the game one. Another issue is that planes don´t break formation, one thing that is impossible to see when you play agaisnt real people.
I suppose that, with some time, we will see a lot of different gamers and the game could benefit from that, in the same way as Forza Motorsports 2 does with the drivers avatars, for example.
