A.I. = Very hard

[Gigi 0]

What settings do you guys use for the A.I.? Even in regular mode with the A.I. difficulty set to 0.30, they seem like they all have aimbot equipped... Is this normal?

Yes ... the AI do hack, I'm sure a helpful member of the community will provide you with the config to make them less accurate. But in answer to your question ... they are all crap shot sniper AK's

[NeMeSiS 11]

Yes ... the AI do hack,

That doesnt even make sence..

A quick solution to give the AI lower accuracly has been posted about 400 times now, open your name.ArmAprofile file with notepad and edit all the precisionFriendly=0.475000;

precisionEnemy=0.475000;

Values

(both in regular and veteran difficulty, so you need to change them twice in the file)

I cant remember the default value but 0.475000 works fine for me. (Combined with seconds suppression scripts and i have the AI skill on 1)

no.

anyway, they can see through grass.. if you have grass on they still see you as (AI's see you the same way you see when grass is disabled)

[Turkeys 0]

How can I disable grass? I cant find an option in the video settings on main menu.

[Average Joe 0]

If your all patched up turn terrain detail on the lowest possible

[DBO_ 0]

its all about the hearing

sensitivityEar

Sets how well can the given unit hear others. The bigger the value, the better the hearing.

sensitivityEar = 0.13;//man

config settings unfortunately maybe some mod will find a nice balance or make it variable thorugh sliders.

Of course some will say it already is Bang on, thats gaming for ya diff people diff tastes .

[Maddmatt 1]

I'm sorry, but you people just suck

AI is affected by grass since patch 1.05, but of course you guys just ignore me when I say that.

[Gigi 0]

what settings do you use in-game?

[Maddmatt 1]

what settings do you use in-game?

In difficulty options? Enemy AI set to normal and friendly set to expert most of the time. At first I had enemy AI set to novice but turned it up as I got used to the game. Make sure super AI is off, when on it sets all AI to the highest skill setting.

Certain missions do set the AI skill slider pretty high though. Blood, Sweat and Tears seems to do that.

[funnyguy1 0]

Well, I'm not saying that playing with AI set higher than normal means you're better or something, but I suggest having it to the max with the super AI turned on, and lowering the accuracy instead. Even if you tweak the values in the main config, they sometimes act weird (slow, or with a certain delay, I mean, they don't fire when they should, but that's rather rare). It's the best way to simulate realistic AI's behaviour imo.

Think the default setting is 0.60 for cadet and 0.85 for vet I agree increasing the AI's reaction intelligence but lowering the AI's hit accuracy probably will improve the the game play expereince.

But this for server's becomes a trade off because you cant afford to use all your CPU power on AI alone not when you have many connections to contend with.

What is the total for the AI setting anyway? sure I read some where that it was 150?

AI= very easy. Give it some time and you will learn how the ai come at you.

[r2101 0]

it all depends i guess

the most promising (imho) tactic against "normal" bis ai squads is to surprise them (well it is the best tactic they have against me too...surprise meeting engagements are messy)

scout ahead... bring your squad in good firing positions... know where the enemy is located... pray to god that your virtual squadmated don´t loose their nerves and actually hold fire til you say them to open fire

higher ground is also very nice to have... a good concealed sniper on higher ground is a perfect spotter for the rest of your squad...

keep the medic away from the actual "frontline"... in order to give injured soldiers a chance to actually move away from the hot spots ... otherwise they might think it could be a good idea to cross right into enemy fire to reach the medic

spread your squad out... (remember old opf cwc... "keep your intervalls... i don´t want one handgrenade to take out half of my squad")

if all works out you don´t have to fire a single shot yourself and the enemy squad will be destroyed within seconds...

if all works out *sigh*...

downside... extremly slow approach towards enemy positions... best bet to keep your squad away at a safe place and scout ahead... use the terrain to mask your approach...

and well uhm...micromanagment... the horror... like...1st step...all get down... and then for each and every squadmember... 1 goto that bush at twelve oclock...2 goto blablabla... when they are all in position you better tell em where to look ... uhm...in which direction to look... or even better whom to target... (it is a bit like setting up units in combat mission)

take out snipers and officers first... that will seriously disable the enemies squad ability to orientate themselves... and as a bonus adds confusion whilst switching to the next squadleader

use squad-members according to their "useful" weapon range...

works best against stationary targets... e.g. attack that village, that defensive position etc...

and is as already mentioned a nightmare to manage...but quite satisfying...when it works

timewise it is somewhat funny... you spent twenty minutes to get your squad into position and watch a firefight which will last only seconds

moving your squad thru open terrain...is somewhat exhausting...imho... if you know there will be no enemy contact until you reach the area close to the target/objective it is kinda easy...jog along

otherwise...

uhm...

micromanage a bounding overwatch theme into your squad ... put a sniper and machinegunner into a good position to overwatch your squads movement... or send a sniper ahead in stealth mode + hold fire...

works (imho) quite well against unmodified bis ai...

throw the brilliant urban patrol script into your missions and things will become ...complicated... to say the least... i find myself beautifully outflanked time after time *lol*... yop krontzkys (spelling?) ups script makes the ai quite tough... extremly tough to be honest... fighting against a couple of enemy squad in the northern part is difficult ...

anyway... i wrote a book *sigh*...

my twohundred cents *lol*

[Heatseeker 0]

AI= very easy. Give it some time and you will learn how the ai come at you.

My #1 tip to survive in Arma:

Scan your surroundings, if the a.i. is to the north just head south.

Its very effective .

Could I just copy and paste that? should work, no?

[NeMeSiS 11]

I guess you could try it, in my profile it is positioned between the difficulty="veteran"; and showTitles=1; but im not sure if it really matters where you put it.

Have you ever opened the ingame difficulty menu and changed something, maybe its only created then?
