TheSarge 10 Posted October 14, 2009 I'm trying to play a scenario where my team gets attacked by a Hind. It's a daytime mission, and I've equipped all of them with The FIM-92 Stinger, the M9 for sidearms, and M16 ACOG for rifles. I command them to attack the Hind as soon as I can see it. What do they do? Do they equip the stingers and shot down the chopper? Hell no. They just take pot shots at it with their rifles, thus alerting the Hind to our presence, which then merrily mows us all down with it's rockets and guns. Fucking brilliant. You know what would be great? If I could command a team member to equip a specific weapon, or to attack a target with a specific weapon instead of letting it choose what to use. Because Aparantly US Marines in the ARMA 2 world all think the proper way to shoot down an enemy Hind is with a god-dam M16! Now, normally, attacking a chopper with a rifle is not a bad idea, but the Hind is basically a flying tank; You can flatten rife rounds against it all day long and you'll barley even scratch the paint. The problem is, the AI doesn't seem to know this. I guess I should just be glad they don't all pull out their sidearms and start flattening 9mm ammo against the Hinds.:rage: BI, you need to fix this!

Beagle 684 Posted October 14, 2009 ArmA II Lesson 43: Dont leave the use of rare or expensive equipment to the A.I. On the other side...the OPFOR AA-Specialist are quite effective against choppers if you leave them alone without a human commander. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TRexian 0 Posted November 16, 2009 I've seen a slightly different issue - AI squadmate using a Stinger against ground targets. I understand the Russian Vikhr has a (nominal) usage against both air and ground threats, but I *really* don't think the Stinger does.... :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heatseeker 0 Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Can anyone even replicate any of this? I cant using 1.4. Edit: I just tried a few USMC AA specialists under my command and a hind flying around, they fired their stingers at it and brought it down, i didnt even have to do anything. Also.. they only engaged a T72 when i ordered them to do so, i then tried ordering a few M16 equiped riflemen to atack a hind and they refused to do so. I've equipped all of them with The FIM-92 Stinger, the M9 for sidearms, and M16 ACOG for rifles. Are you sure the stingers are loaded?
