Any improvement to the absolutely ridiculous Uber AI in this game is much needed and appreciated. I have a couple questions.
#1- Will these mods work seamlessly with UI1.2?
#2- If so, will they change language from English to Cyrillic? I speak/read English so that would be an issue since I finally have my game "mostly" patched back to English after the UI1.2 mod install.
#3- Can anything be done about the enemy AI pilots never blacking out, never running out of ammo or fuel, always trimmed perfectly, never overheating, never disengaging etc etc etc.?
#4- Can anything be done about the so-called Friendly AI doing nothing but taking your kills at all cost while letting you be shot to pieces from the rear while never running out of ammo, never running out of fuel, never blacking out, never disengaging your targets until they've taken ALL kills etc etc etc.?
This game could be absolutely fantastic if someone with the proper knowledge would fix the deplorable AI and make it more user friendly. I really don't know what the dev's were thinking when they came up with this exercise in futility. The entire single player game is programmed completely for the AI while your only mission as the Purchaser and Player is to fly around playing follow the leader while they shoot down every enemy on the map in seconds.
Your mods listed here are a step in the right direction and if they can be used with UI1.2 I will most definitely be installing them in short order but it's a shame no one has addressed the Pilot Ai's and all that is wrong with them.
I tried the only AI mod I could find on this site but it just made the enemy AI even harder to defeat and also they tended to stay in the plane when hit rather than bailing out ensuring that the Friendly AI would steal them right out of in front of you every single time. At least the pre-mod pilots usually bailed out when hit sufficiently thereby causing friendly AI's to disengage. This is the only time they will leave your kill alone.
And don't even get me started on Enemy AI Gunners. They're just pathetically perfect under all conditions and that's just absurd.
I don't know if you can do anything but I and I'm sure a lot of others would greatly appreciate it if something were done to improve these ridiculous AI issues.
