Enemy AI is...retarded

[hockeywarrior]

I HAVE gone back to 1946 and plan to stay there until they have fixed the terrible AI in this game. I am experiencing everything you are going through and I find it a total game-breaker.

When the AI isn't pulling impossible mindless stunts (all while not losing airspeed, mind you), climbing at insane rates without burning out their engines, or pulling out of impossibly bad spins, they are completely benign. I rarely get shot at, and sometimes when I do the AI just decides to stop attacking. Even more hilarious, many times the AI acts like I'm not even there, and I'll pump a billion rounds into a plane that flies perfectly straight.

It's like they're either pulling F-16 maneuvers (literally) or completely oblivious to your existence. It's the most boring and infuriating experience I've had in a game with AI ... no joke. Prettiness or not, I'd much rather fly in IL2 1946 where I get a rewarding experience.

or they collide with each other or your own ai will just try to take off through you lol

Yeah the AI has collided with me several times, and with eachother countless times by now.

I forgot that they also have the retarded habit of crashing themselves when you have to ditch your plane. Unlike in 1946, they are too stupid to know that the ground is not good for their airplane ...

Of course voice commands also don't work so you can't tell them to go fly off somewhere to avoid this ...

Lol, with those specs how can you even play this game? And the AI emulates very well what live people online do in a dogfight? You sir, are full of shit. I dont think you have even played this game on your 3rd world PC. Please leave the discussion to those that can actually play the game. Maybe you were talking about 1946?

If the AI is making itself harder to hit, I'd say they've done a good job with it. It's difficult to actually get on a single engine fighter's tail with a Bf-110 when it's already behind you, so making itself a hard target seems to be a good option.

To me it sounds like you just don't want to admit your aiming isn't too good in this game.

To me it sounds like you dont what you are talking about...
Have you even played this game?? I have watched Bf-109's roll inverted and change direction 180 degrees in under half a second! My aim?? No one can aim at that lol! If you decide to follow any of the AI planes on one of their rolling dives that would stall any human players plane you can fly straight down with them and never catch up even at full throttle.

I have been playing combat flight sims probably since before you were born, I can assure you there is nothing wrong with my aim. The best part is that after the AI does its twitchy, rolling, diving garbage and gets a certain distance from your aircraft they fly on like you were never there until you get within a certain distance again... A complete joke.

He said somewhere else that he used the 400X300 resolution

But I agree with him also on the AI issue

[reflected]

Congrats gents, you've created the dumbest and most annoying AI ever.

they climb forver, they're not affected by physics. 2 super fast rolls left, 1 right, 2 left...

Seriously?

The game runs smooth now thanks to the patch but I can't be arsed to play against such a stupid über AI.

Even if they flew as they should (FM) they would be very dumb.

Bizarrely I have to agree with raaaid here, the online AI are almost human, shooting down 110's in a spit is childsplay, but single player makes you dizzy and epileptic......
