Yep I'm the same one from frugs. =)
Maybe there is a java guru whos a die hard offliner who could help out a bit? I just think with all the talent involved in mod making these days, it's a shame that no major effort is being put into fixing the craptastic AI. Not that I dislike the current projects, hardly, I just would love to be able to play offline without wanting to toss my x52 out the window from sheer frustration at the AI.
And it sounds so simple to fix, but having looked at the code now..perhaps its not, or it is and I just cant see it.
Dont let them make 397 passes over a bad guy airfield. If the 5th AF did that they would have been wiped out in a week. Low level, split up, choose targets, strafe on the way in, drop whatever on their heads and keep on going and going and going home.
AI flying in formation with badguys since they are hell bent on shooting the one up front, not the one whos eating your ass alive. And ace's can hit you in the eyes at 600 yards in a 12g turn in a rain cloud, but will unload every round 10ft behind you if you go into a gentle wide banking turn.
This has to be fixable, it just has to. (I cling to hope haha)
