JuggernautOfWar 1 Posted July 7, 2010 In Operation Arrowhead the AI seems to be more aware of his surroundings and very cautious in general, which is almost always a good thing. However when I want my subordinates to quickly board a vehicle, it's not gonna happen because they have to scan the entire horizon every three seconds it seems. This even happens while they are set to "safe" combat awareness. I've also noticed a new red crosshair icon in my troops "unit card" at the bottom, is this related?

CarlGustaffa 4 Posted July 7, 2010 There are no icons showing for safe and aware, a red one for danger, and a blue one for stealth. Sometimes you can set them to ease up all you want but it just won't happen. Has annoyed the hell out of me since long time. Loading a saved game seems to make everything worse. I managed to get myself killed on that sniping mission from falling off a small rock ( :( ) and had to reload. After that the formation was completely screwed up.

sniper pilot 36 Posted July 7, 2010 I usually do: All StandUp, All Disengage, All board CAR. Sometimes it works unless they feel like they still need to be in danger, which 9 times, well 8 times out of 10 is correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cossack8559 10 Posted July 7, 2010 Something has to be wrong! i was in a T-55 on MP... we took an RPG round which disabled the tank and the crew bailed... we killed the enemy on foot.. then i repaired the tank and ordered the crew to enter it. they took about 5 minutes real time just scanning around!! i changed them to safe they just would not move! (and yes the tank was fully repaired) by the time one a.i entered i was destroyed by incoming enemies! very frustrating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JuggernautOfWar 1 Posted July 7, 2010 Yeah this is very annoying. I'm glad more people are having this issue though, and not just me. I never ad this happen in A2 before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EBass 0 Posted July 8, 2010 Yea to be honest I'd really like a "With haste!" command which just makes the AI sprint as fast as possible to whatever location its currently on its way to. I played a mission today where I had to get an AI squad to a chopper extraction about 100 metres away after an objective had been met. Even with no enemies present it took about 10 minutes real time as they all lay down and looked everywhere before moving. Still, in general the more cautious AI is a big improvement over release AI.

CarlGustaffa 4 Posted July 8, 2010 "With haste" would just be a workaround. There is something fundamentally wrong somewhere that must be fixed. Maybe it will completely fix the problem, maybe it won't. But "With haste" must not be implemented so that the underlying problem is ignored. Just try it when you haven't been engaged - swapping modes work and they do seem to operate under decent speeds. Even reloading a mission causes complete breakdown of the formation (from what I've seen anyway). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EDcase 87 Posted July 9, 2010 Yeah, sometimes they get stuck in 'Danger' mode even if you give the 'safe' command. I think its the AI system (auto reactions) conflicting with orders given by the commander. 'With haste' or just a 'fast' command would be great to override the auto AI.

Carl i must tell you, the BIS community is the best community in the world at creating work rounds, and you want to deniy them this!! disgusting!! lol :D Maybe just make the AI "follow orders to the word" unless in rediculous circumstances ie tanks within 25m :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlGustaffa 4 Posted July 9, 2010 Ehh, huh, whut? I suggest you try then... Don't mix in "BIS community" in this. I don't want to deny anyone anything. I'm understanding "With Haste" to be a new command that BIS was supposed to put it, not us. Afaik we don't have access to low level commands at all (except for vehicles), and especially not reprogramming them. Feel free to show me where and how if you know though. But feel free, have a blast. But I couldn't use it if it was addon based. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
