An really good AI pilot for offline practice.

[Midway]

If HTC could program an AI pilot that is very difficult or impossible to beat that I could practice against... that would be cool.

I do believe they're called offline missions. I requested the same thing and got the answer im giving you.

you spend time playing offline as well as online?

Tried that... they just hit the ground and are sooo easy to shoot down.  I get a a dozen kills just flying next to them as they hit the ground.

I mean one or even two or three pilots that are very good (Bruv or Grizz level good --- or close).  Since the best real AH pilots aren't always available to fight you over and over.... and would likely be bored with doing that.  Seems like it should be possible by pushing the edge of the envelope of each aeroplane and extending when necessary, etc...

I wanted an update offline AI, so the drones would at least put up a fight before succumbing to my extreme offline skills.

I had the same reaction.

WOW! nothing like taking the easy way. Maybe you should try shooting them down instead of ground huggin in your plane so they crash going after you.

I have... they are extremely easy to shoot down... nothing to it.

i've seen your stats...215 hours 16 minutes 33 seconds last month...323 hours 5 minutes 52 seconds in september...  just a small observation and friendly suggestion...it's becoming very obvious the air space in your cranium is increasing exponenitally, drag your pasty marshmallow butt outside and interact with real humans.

   Really, gyrene81?  Really now?

YOU TOO, EH?!?!?!

because I'm a jerk like that


But seriously... I would find a way to create a paying account if HTC modeled actual damage into AI/drones... Wait... That would be counter-intuitive!! Never mind!!

Wishful thinking, unfortunately. As I understand it, creating a dogfighting AI is extremely complicated, and creating one that can beat me (without cheating of course) is completely impossible. Sure you can spend a hundred years programming it with every scenario, but you can never give it the instinct I have.

Every AI sukks.
Once you figure out the way its programmed, its extremely easy to defeat. Its not only about flight simulation games but all kinds of ai (ok maybe the chess is an exception)
btw 325 hours is just two weeks of continous flying... ZOMG do you ever sleep? eat? go tho the shop? cut the grass, walk the dog, do anything productive? how long you havent seen your wife? kids? friends? friends... when you had a drink? even spoke to anyone in the last month?? Geezus!

Chess is similar to what I was thinking off. Looks at possible moves and then two or more moves ahead.  Intuitively, seems like someone familiar with AI chess could develop a similar process as the possible moves are limited at any given point.  Especially if you stay on the edge of the flight model envelope.
