Who says AIs are stupid?

You can create new plane anytime, no need bail out. And its very fast: esc, click AFB, click create. Max 1-2 sec. The AI takes the control, and you never find who you overcame. I see that somebody would bail out very rarely. This is pathetic.

Almost 2 months ago, Reflected started a topic because of similar reasons:
Finish landed only - option
... there were many people against it, though this current solution worse, when it was necessary to face the consequences for your acts (KIA, MIA, Bail Out). At least, if one plane going down, should write all of the earlier pilots of the aircraft (likewise, the share victories).

Hmmm, you are about to ruin my high opinion on the AI

But had this been the case, would I have not seen a message saying "PilotX hit the silk" ?

I think so.

If it was Repka #3 server (islands), then there shouldn't be any AI, unless something changed or was bugged.

70% of my human kills end up as AI kills. Sadly, if player isn't in plane when it crashes or is destroyed (explodes), kill is counted as AI kill. There is no memory effect.

Thanks Zaltys,

This explains some things, there were many times I wrote S! in chat after shooting a worthy opponent and I was surprised to see that I was flying against an AI, I could have sworn it felt like human. Now I understand

What a pity you destroyed my high hopes for the AIs, I was about to switch to flying off-line

Then I am lucky as hell to have shot that second Bf109 well enough to discourage him from engaging me

Damn, it would have been great to have AIs like that...

Sorry, but the AI is duuummmb. Good for hint practice. Thats all
IF the human, or the AI bail out, you see the message. But no need any message, if the human just create new plane, and the AI died in old plane. You get the AI kill confirm message, and case closed.

Anyone who switches his plane in mid battle should be banned for life, what a absoloutley pathetic option to put in multi player.

What a laugh, this is very funny, you think it is ai, but it is human who turns to ai! i love it. Cheers.

Agreed...

Yes you should be able to bailout if youve been hit but you should know who youve overcome and they should have a Death against them..after all its the AC that you killed thats gets you the score (kill)..

gets a bit boring when every aircraft you shoot down just happens to be an AI

Its not massively important i know but its these lil things we all have a moan about and im sure we all like to know who weve just shot down

Yes yes But not only the points, or informations. This "features" causes, the behaviour changes very much. He may do an any kind of meaningless, stupid, suicide action to gain another one victory. And without negative consequences (ok. accidentally get PK. but nothing else).
