Question on AI adjustment?

[dburne]

Pat,

 

Previously I have been flying with my fighter AI adjustment at -1. This seemed to help me much better deal with the AI in my fighter combat in the Spit.

Now here lately,  it is like it is not having any effect - at least not noticeable to me like it was.

I have been using -1, and even went to -2.

I would swear every enemy 109 or 190 I came across is an ACE AT at the best skill level. Performing maneuvers I am not sure have been invented yet lol.

 

Now I have been flying for quite a long time, and maybe just getting worse but I am not sure that is the case.

Anything I might be missing?

I've been Seeing the same type of AI performance improvements after the last patch during testing my old Single Player missions. It's neat to see 109s performing vertical maneuvers instead of falling into a constant turn fight. 

 

I can't verify any real programming AI change in the last patch... just and observations since then.

With PWCG I am limited to 1-4.  I cannot control what the game decides to do with that information.  You can confirm that PWCG is or is not doing the right thing by looking at the mission file.  Check AILevel (I think that's what the parameter name is) on the plane entities.  If you set PWCG to -2 then the AILevel should be mostly 1 with 2s mixed in.  There should be no 3s or 4s.

 

I have seen a pretty wide variety of behavior from guys who are limited to scissors to others who fly much better.  The only time I really got hacked was due to target fixation, so I deserved it.  At other times I have been dinged with MGs, usually this only happens when we are out numbered.

Ok thanks will check it out.

Got lucky on my last mission and managed 5 kills, a nice assortment of enemy AI also.

Made me feel a little better at least LOL.
