Please fix the AI

If I could change the default loadout...I would love to

[ingsoc84]

I've tried to change the defaul loadouts for the guns on many many missions over and over, either I'm doing something wrong, or it does not work correctly. Any advice on how exactly to chagne the
loadout? I've tried dragging and dropping the various versions..Stahlkern, Hartkern, etc...but it chagnes nothing.

I figured out how to change loadouts a while back, from the main menu go into options, play plane or something like that and then select the plane whose loadout you want to change and do it from there. I don't know why it's like that, maybe there's a way to do it before a mission but I haven't seen a way.

Currently I believe there is no way to change them right before mission and they must be done on the main menu in the "Plane" area, it's really quite stupid that way...

They outspeed you

They act stupid as can be, running out of ammo they then fly in a straight line to their base and completely ignore you even after you start shooting at them

And they seem indestructible, I took up a hurricane, infinite ammo clicked on and tried to shoot a running BF109 down, after hundreds and hundreds of shots all over the fuselage and wings he continued on his path just fine, no problems. Maybe this is a problem with the damage model or the damage the bullets are capable of doing but fix this crap!

These issues are the only thing keeping me from loving Cliffs of dover.

Totally agree,

The game is great and loads of fun but constantly plagued not just by combat AI, but so far i hate the campaign, nothing but flaw after flaw! Seriously just on the second mission and half the aircraft sat waiting before taking off and basically didnt move when asked to by ground control. So i was on my own, then just say you put autopilot on, one minute ur in formation - next collision! On top of that i was flying the BF110 mission to take the capturned fighter back up north where it will be safer and im told that they way is clear and everyone knows im coming (not to shoot) Took off and got shot down by my own aircrew!! WTF??

So yeah the AI is a joke and makes this almost unplayable and takes away the enjoyment of the game
