Testing the Ace AI in a 1 v 1 dogfight.

[Gunfreak]

We all know the AI isn't good.

But this video highlights it.

I think a human player should be able to win over an Ace AI. However it should demand a good player.

I'm not a good player.

 

1. It's 7 months since last I flew FC.

2. Well over a year since I flew the Camel last.

3. I don't know to actually fly the planes well, I can keep them in the air most of the time. But I more or less fly my WW1 planes like slow ww2 planes.

 

The video shows the AI's complete lack in interest in attacking me. Several times I lose track of it or even lose control of my plane.

Yet the AI just flies along by itself, not interest in exploiting my mistakes. 

One time I even see clearly the AI is in a perfect position to attack/shoot me. But instead just turns away letting me get om his six.

I've been flying campaign generator missions, eight so far. The dive and climb antics that enemy fighters use never seem relevant to their situation. They just seem to do it almost at random. I dived at a Camel approaching head on about 100m below. Camel pulled up in a steep climb in front of me. Not what I'd have done. Another thing with the weak AI is that planes in your own flight rarely shoot anything down, they just waft around doing not much at all. Flying with a flight of 4 or 5 Dr1's and Albatroses I'd expect at least one to pot an enemy each flight. In 8 missions my Dr1 only got hit by enemy fire in 2 with no great damage.
