goose4291 11 Posted January 16, 2014 I've just been tinkering in the mission editor and noticed something. I was 200m underwater at night, pushing my way into Altis bay when I heard what sounded like loud explosions Bringing myself slowly up to Periscope depth I found that one of the AI choppers had somehow detected me from a kilometer away and was now strafing for all it was worth the water above my beloved SDV, and had been the whole time. The detection ranges on the SDV as a vehicle need to be addressed, particularly when it's gone deep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shiftysean 21 Posted January 16, 2014 Agreed, and while we're on the subject of detection on things that are hard to spot. I think the SDV and any stealthchoppers/jets should have some form of actual stealth implemented, maybe unable to detect them until they get within a certain close range or something. I guess the tab lock isn't helping with that, but might be fun to brainstorm for ideas. Having a chopper with some form of sonar and torpedo's or something would obviously make stuff a lot more intresting xD Doubt BIS will go that far on their own though :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lavbo0321 5 Posted May 9, 2015 Has anyone found a solution to this issues. Using the SDV with any type of enemy air on patrol is useless. Takes away something. Should I perhaps have the enemy patrol on Safe or Careless? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lavbo0321 5 Posted May 10, 2015 I will give it a try, thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Von Quest 1161 Posted May 12, 2015 YES! This should be a Ticket. Noticed this ourselves. Enemy will spot you underwater WAY too easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lavbo0321 5 Posted May 20, 2015 I tried everything. I am assuming that OPFOR gun boats, helicopters and bunny rabbits, have super powerful built in sonar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
domokun 515 Posted May 20, 2015 I can't remember where but IIRC there's a bug in A3 which means that AI see through water, i.e. water doesn't hinder their vision they way it should. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
