Just saddle up to the BOB II WOV is you want to see what can be done with AI. The BOB II has gotta be the benchmark for AI peformance for WW2 air combat sims at this time.

The AI performance in the BOB is terrific, but it gets boring flying British Aircraft (early war) that sputter and have minimal firepower. The Luftwaffe side is more interesting.

The Landscapes are flat and pretty boring for the most part in BOB II and there are few raised objects........

-------------------

I really think the IL2 -1946 AI sucks. Fly some Ki84s vs F4u (any variety) The both fly the T & B. It just seems so stupid watching you flights of Corsairs T & B.

I agree on all points... It can be done, and I wish it was done... BoBII should be the benchmark for all WWII AI, its amazing the things and surprises they have done with that particular AI... They still catch me of guard, and make me surprised by their abilities.. They are very authentic indeed... and you are right, the landscape in that sim is a real immersion killer

And yes, IL2's AI does suck! I have read quotes from Oleg over the years claiming that his AI is the industries best and that it has AI routines which are very sophisticated, yet I cannot ever find a peep or a comment of what he thinks of BoB II WOV...

I find the AI very predictable and scripted a lot of the time...However, when I havent played it for months and I pick it up again a lot of that dissolves, and I do find them challenging... but give me a week and I am bitter about all the cheats that they use...
