SP career - enemy AI converging on me.

[Mac_Messer]

So after the spotting enhancements I started Kuban campaign for the second time for VVS, on Hard. And frankly I keep getting my ___ handed to me nearly every mission.

The thing I saw while looking through my replays is that enemy AI throws everything on me the moment it sees me. It`s like I`m the second son of satan and painted red like Richthofen. Meanwhile my squad buddies act like nothing happened, sometimes going after their targets but never to shoot my pursuant.

 

How do I go about this? I mean how do I trick the AI to do its business without hunting me or at least noticing me a little later?

Don't be the closest to the enemy AI when they get to the range where they "see" you. 

I don't know that it makes a difference, but I bet it does.

Another reason for the enemy AI to attack only you might be, you are not flying with your squadmates, but alone, which makes you an easier target than aircrafts flying together.

But usually, like Browning mentioned, AI gets fixed on the closest target. On the other side, things are changing quite constantly, for whatever reason, so who knows.

For me, the AI is the one main gripe I have with the game... it's never been right and I'm not sure it ever will be.

I fully understand that coding the AI to act and react in a realistic manner is a difficult thing to implement... but to single players it's paramount to enjoying your WWII combat experience.

Small steps have been made to try and improve the behaviour of the AI, so keep at it dev's... we are in your hands
