akdavis 0 Posted April 28, 2003 I'm sure this has been brought up elsewhere, but I don't really know what to search with. I'm wondering if BIS plans on doing anything about the AI's inability to handle recoil on automatic weapons? They constantly shoot way over their targets. It's like they line their sights up on the target and then just hold down the trigger, causing all but the first bullet to fly over the target. I would expect recoil to cause a dispersion around the target, not a tight grouping 6 feet over the target. Just set up an ambush mission with a machinegunner and a bunch of enemy trucks and watch him not take out a single one. Note: the solution to this is NOT to reduce the recoil, it is to model recoil more realistically. The MGs should have greater dispersion, but the dispersion should be centered on the target. The only other solution I can think of is to force the AI to fire in shorter bursts, since the first bullet or two after a pause seems to go on target.

Jamesia 0 Posted April 28, 2003 I bet EX-RONIN is about to close this thread because you're flaming BIS. Seriously tho, I think recoil is more realistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iNeo 0 Posted April 29, 2003 No they won't do anything about that, 1.91 was the final patch, so you just wait happily for OFP2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJOlmstead 0 Posted May 1, 2003 I don't think it's the recoil, I think it's the ai's inabilty to steady their weapons when fireing. For example, when a human player fires an automatic weapon, we move the mouse around so that as many bullets as possible hit the target. I'm guessing the ai doesn't do this. Of course it's all very different, and I'm just putting in my thoughts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sseagle 0 Posted May 2, 2003 psst, you need to steady the weapon because of the recoil... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Major Gripe 0 Posted May 3, 2003 My AI seem to use their mg's as a kind of long range artillery against me! Cos they are so far away the bullets seem to drop onto me and im like 1km away! Bastards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
