Ai too good?

[jollyjack]

Was trying to 'organize' a mid air crash. Could not get it to work; any ideas?

The AI has collision avoidance logic, so no, orchestrating a mid-air collision isn't a smart thing to put your time into.

No need to look at your mission.

Either I have a great ability to fly just the correct line or AI does intentionally ram on occasion.  I'm no expert about how the AI works though.

Yeah I'm sure it's sketchy in some areas,  and I have seen them collide. The intent however is that they do what they have to in order to avoid collisions.

I guess it can't really be confirmed but, if there actually is an option coded for the AI to intentionally ram...  perhaps there's a way to reliably 'force' the choice?

It's a long shot I know but, I thought it might be helpful to jollyjack.

Nope, no such thing exists.

There is a collision time threshold which is held against each skill level. Stock value is same across the skills. I theorise that it gives the AI a cue to begin avoidance move logic when it's x secs away from collision. No confirmation really of this though. Typically, during testing AI Gunnery, I observed collisions take place because of one or both aircraft taking hits and the result of that hit led to a collision. eg of type of thing I mean damage to a wing or control surface changing the flight path of the damaged aircraft/preventing avoidance move, attacking an aircraft at close range and the attacked aircraft sheds debris which causes a collision, Impulse of rounds hitting on a target causing a change in flight path during a head on attack leading to collision. I did not see any ramming or apparent 'planned' collision.

 

 

[moustache]

can be looked for on the AI side and the way it is handled in TC, collisions between object or AI are frequent...

[Jaegermeister]

@jollyjack Simple solution, just remove their avoidance logic...

I'd call that clever, not simple LoL. Still try to comprehend how it works; thanks. Some Pacific Kamikaze ship attack Idea?
