Alwarren 2767 Posted February 27, 2015 We have been using bCombat on Comrades in Arms server for the last couple of days and I have to say I love it. AI seem much more aggressive and agile now, they use much higher volume of fire, and generally things have become quite a bit more enjoyable. Thanks a lot!

bravo409 13 Posted February 28, 2015 Anyone have issues where the leader runs off leaving the squad behind,and he is the first one killed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kremator 1065 Posted February 28, 2015 I found the opposite, where the leader would push his squad massively ahead and he'd be left behind. Now to me, a leader should be up with his squad. Perhaps that needs a little tweak? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sbua16 19 Posted February 28, 2015 Anyone have issues where the leader runs off leaving the squad behind,and he is the first one killed? I've had this happen in particular quite a few times. I feel like, in general, a squad usually get's split up too much and cohesiveness just kind of goes out of the window; like everyone's just kind of run off doing their own thing.

TuffShitSki 16 Posted February 28, 2015 @Sbua16 not sure this is the cause of your problem. I find units wander of when investigation behavior is on. Try turning it off see if it improves. After switching it off units are more static guarding their posts when asked to. Sent from my GT-I9505G using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After switching it off units are more static guarding their posts when asked to. Sent from my GT-I9505G using Tapatalk Cheers mate, will try it out today. [edit] Also, I notice that the feature slowing down the leader has been been deprecated as of v0.14, but I've only really noticed this behaviour re-arise in I think either 0.18beta or 0.18final. [edit2] Also, I realise that it may be a taste thing with one or two units breaking off and doing their own thing. Other people may prefer to have individuals in a squad work with autonomy and be a bit more aggressive rather than as a single team unit that's maybe a bit more passive.

Variable 322 Posted March 16, 2015 serjames, could you share with us the aiSkill and aiPrecision you have on your dedicated server? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
serjames 357 Posted March 16, 2015 We just use Default settings as provided by current PW6 version. Hope that helps ? Worth noting we also run AGM ( I haven't got to the bottom yet of whether it could be overwriting some of the Ai skill settings) as I canot seem to be able to get bCombat to load AFTER AGM - if anyone knows a way ? bCombat is last on the mod line way after AGM, but checking RPT's show's it loaded first pretty much first ?! Either way Ai is significantly more fun to play against with more shots fired, less 1 shot 1 kill ( they're still accurate once zero'd in - but give you a chance to manouver or DUCK!)

Variable 322 Posted March 16, 2015 We just use Default settings as provided by current PW6 version.Hope that helps ? Thanks, but I was referring to the parameters on your username.Arma3Profile file. Can you share those? If you didn't edit them, are you playing on 'Regular' or 'Veteran'? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
serjames 357 Posted March 16, 2015 Ahh... ok server is set to "Veteran" we wouldn't have changed any of the Username settings (not even sure you can on the dedi ?) For Zeus units I spawn in as follows Veteren settings (AI on Expert) which is probably a mistake I should probably drop that to "Veteran" J Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redarmy 422 Posted March 19, 2015 Perhaps an optional feature but one that is DEFINATELY worth having in this mod. Would love it to also cover AI auto rearming and AI auto healing .... but I can dream ! you and me both man. Iv been trying everything to get ai to rearm(non player led) and for me,i need to create missions and make sure each ai have a backpack as to hold enough ammo to see them through.At least bcombat has fatigue off as optional.

redarmy 422 Posted March 19, 2015 Fabrizio Iv downloaded the new version,which is great as always,but have noticed this line: bdetect_bullet_max_distance = xxx Is no longer in the config.In recent versions i tuned this number for FPS reasons,is it safe for me to re-add the parameter line into the new config of updated version? My FPS dips more than the last version(significantly) and iv already disable CQB hearing and investigative behavior. ---------- Post added at 12:37 ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 ---------- EDIT: Also this line isnt in new version: bdetect_bullet_max_proximity = (thats the important one for me) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gepanzert-faust 10 Posted March 19, 2015 Hey Fabrizio, I'm still enjoying your mod and the new BI suppression feature is great news. Listen, one reason (of many) I use bCombat over other AI mods is with using bCombat the AI actually use their hand grenades - both habitually and accurately in situations where, without this mod, I'd be silently screaming "Use a god damn grenade FFS!". One thing I've noticed though is UGL equipped AI still refuse to use their 40mm nades against infantry, only vehicles (which is a vanilla A3 thing) :mad: Fabrizio, would you please look into this for bCombat? :) I've seen it work in another mod, VCOM AI I think and it works really well.

owmyeye 14 Posted March 19, 2015 Listen, one reason (of many) I use bCombat over other AI mods is with using bCombat the AI actually use their hand grenades Yes nade use by AI is pretty good. When i'm real in close to the enemy but obscured from vision, I always now worry a grenade is about to drop next to me. On a funny note, the last few games i've played, I kept throwing grenades at the exact same time as the enemy AI was throwing one back. On one occasion I just let go of the nade and heard the 'tinkle-tink' sound. I started wondering 'does it make that sound when you throw one?', so I dove for cover just in case and yeah, bang. The amount of times the AI and I have thrown the same time at each other to me says the AI is ready to use and does it well (like a human player would).

Just the new grenade behavior on its own would make this mod worthwhile :) Like you say, fighting the AI up close is now really dangerous and they keep you on your toes, if you stay for too long in cover you know what's on its way - and being pinned down now by heavy fire in a sitution where you can't change cover is a death sentence, I love it haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
