Jason talking about Tank Crews in Stombirds interview

[inexus]

Interview with Jason done by the Stombirds website which talks about TC (I've skipped to the section where he starts talking about TC?

 

 

Talking about AI. A guy was hired full time to work on it:

Sounds good.  Yesterday we had a 3 hour combined arms event and the game played great.  I can tell the tweaks are making a difference.  That mission was made to reduce line of sight issues, but I could sense a difference and it was good and a move forward for Tank Crew.

 

Thanks to Stormbirds for giving us this interview.  You know the forums are a tough place to interact with customers because just about any statement you make can get turned around or misunderstood and become just a slugfest.  It could be the reason we don’t get much feedback.  For an Early Access funding project though I think interviews like this are just good business and form a better relationship with the player base.

 

StormBirds is getting a link from my little site ....as they are always promoting simulated combat games and do such a great job interfacing with Great Battles.

Good stuff coming.

Whatever direction Jason decides to go after BoN, he and the team will have my support.

If ever they manage to make the AI planes flyable, they'll be instant buys for me.

 

Thanks for the interview and the post

 

 

Have a nice day.

Nice!

Yes it was a good interview in particular looking at what had happened in the past and led them to where they are today. 

 

I really do wish that we would get some sort of feedback as to whether they have seen the issues raised for TC and whether they will look at any changes to the AI and visibility.

Problem is with the AI, that in planes when the AI sees you, it needs to maneuvre to the point when it can shoot at you, but in tanks it only needs to slightly move the gun and you are dead.

There must be some sort of AI blindness programed. Some difference between Ai difficulty.

You slowly,cautiously climb on the hill and in a blink of an eye 5 of more shells are flying towards you and of course they can hit you without a problem at far distance with the first shot.

Also its nice that they cant see you finally behind block of trees (sometimes), but if they stand there and you can shoot at them standing just few meters from them is bad. And they can see you behind the hills, which is worse.

 

I would like to see, that if one or two tanks in the squad is damaged/destroyed the rest will try to

- point front armor to you (this is absolutely necessary command which is missing in the command menu for tanks in your squad!)

- outflank you

- retreat (with the front armor pointed towards you)

- panicked retreat, turning back at you.

that just few ideas.

 

It would be nice to have some small team to work only for the TC.
