AI issues...

[RUFFNEK 10]

Anyone else having painfull experiences with the AI??

Mission7 is quite an arsepain because the AI either drives terribly or doesnt shoot targets directly in front of the APC. So I usually spend the whole time switching between the seats. Would be nice to just chill as commander but its quite frustrating when youre staring at an enemy APC 50m to your 12 and no-one does anything... :/

The gunner moves the turret around but often doesnt shoot, sometimes he locks on but doesnt shoot even though "engage at will is on"

Same for infantry so I often just drive over them...

Another thing is the enemy infantry just stand around and often dont move or shoot. They literally just stand around and wait to get shot and dont really re-act to incoming rounds. Im playing on normal difficulty, is it different on the hardest level?

Hello,

I agree Ai can be a pain but theres many different ways to command them,

here are some good references on commanding AI:

An example for what i do in tanks is if your in combat then make sure to give the order:

7,2 which is combat

3,5 engage at will

then i use target list to pick out targets I want

when i want the Ai gunner to fire at a target when he has the one I want

aquired then I tell him 3,1 open fire.

Another ways is for your to be driver, and then use the same method

except you have control of firing of the main gun.

All depends.

Just some ideas for you.

Cool, thanks I'll check it out.

I also notice my medic is reluctant to heal & my character squirms and swears the whole mission :/

How are you using the medic to heal?

Do you go up to him, or give him a command?

He will heal a soldier if he is wounded, like if your commanding, and a soldier in the squad is injured,

you can tell your medic through 6 command, and then heal soldier and he will seek out the soldier.

I think its still buggy but it works.
