Enemy planes are not shooting me
 

Hi all,

I am trying to learn to play CoD, and I have been trying to play single missions to dogfight other planes.

Now the problem is that it seems to me that no any plane will start to fight me, I never get shot down by any of the other planes. I wander if there is something wrong with my version, should I re-install the game and try again or am I so stupid that I am just doing something wrong??

I believe that I have armed the enemy planes, I am choosing "default" from the menu.

Thanks for any help.

Those British pilots! They are real gentlemen even in life and death situations. .Ignore them,Devastat.

thats because at the moment Clod is shipped with AU rather than AI (artificial unintelligence)

Its being worked on.

Some of the quick missions dont seem to trigger AI if (I think) there are too few enemies. I dont know why it is but try upping the number of aircraft or a different mission, like aerial battle.

I think this happens even if I am 1 on 1 doing a quick mission trying to dogfight an enemy, it just flies away no matter how I am on its tail trying to shoot it down.. at least it never tries to shoot me down.

Try it with say 6 of you, 6 enemy. Also try the missions that aren't the dogfight ones. I get the same problem in low number dogfights, ending up with a formation flying home with me chasing, but not in some missions.

In dogfight mission when Im trying to fight defiants they always just buzz off.. annoying:rolleyes:

Can you up the AI (AU lol) level to 'veteran' or above and see if that makes any difference?

Join a squadron Devastat. That's the fastest way to learn, and the most enjoyable too.

Plenty of hun squads out there to choose from, we run one ourselves (JG26).

Yeah I guess I should probably just go straight chasing real planes in the online gaming then :)

Sometimes they attack only if they have advantage.

nice, i use to call something like that AS (Artificial Stupidity ;) )

naah, CloD is the showcase of the finest, utmost intelligent, cunning AI to ever grace a videogame; it pretends it's dumb so it won't have to do it's job..

Sensible tactics from an aircraft that only has guns at the back though?

lol

Ok, i'll take this opportunity to ask from people playing this, what is the status of the game? I bought this year ago, and put it on the shelf as it wasn't really playable in my opinion at that time. So i've been thinking about wheter I should commit the time to start learning this now..

So how is it, is it much more complete now than it was upon release or how playable it actually is now?

For the vast majority it's more playable than at release.
There's a bad bug, tho, introduced last patch, that crashes the online game for almost everyone.
There are way to delay the crash and it usually works ok in fighters, but is a lot more freqvent in bombers, specially if we try to fly formations.
Offline the game was always solid for me, except when I was fooling around with the weather in full mission builder.

If you do not enjoy hitting the ground in someone's back yard, then the game is not for you:-P

The playability answer will depend in part on your PC spec, at least until the next patch is released that is supposed to improve the graphics performance considerably. So post your specs so we can give you an idea.

I don't usually play off-line although I have played a few missions and they do try do shoot me down but not in a very determined way. Perhaps you can set the enemy to Veteran or Ace?

If you want to be sure the enemy will shoot at you fly on line and as Osprey said join a squad or at least get onto Teamspeak where you'll find people are very helpful.

the irony of this game is people complaining of the game not being realistic

if you complained of the graphics i would understand

but that:confused:

that would be like ender complaining of the game not being realistic
