Fighting AI is drama free. If this board is a reflection on the in game drama these days no thanks.

Interesting thought as when they give ai opponents the ability to text on 200 and in bbs chat groups can't be far off..

AI cheats in DCS for sure but at least it doesn't gloat.  ;)

AI will almost never be as fun as fighting humans. Taunting has always existed since day one of sims. Competition is a part of any game. Squelch and tuning out 200 is a choice. This isn’t church. Its a big bad world out there.

Friendly banter is fun. Some are not well balanced and it turns ugly. Will anyone who reads this board disagree?

That would have to be programmed into the ai pilots but all they'd have to do is input bbs threads like these and our 200 logs.. it's coming

Ok lads, I am sure we can all agree AI is *not* sporting to kill but it might just be a necessary evil to keep the game as healthy as it can be.

Imagine attacking large formations of AI 17s/24s (100 at a time maybe) or large formations of c47s sending supplies to a field. It would at least give people something to do in between the big furballs or during off peak hours.

I agree. A man must know his limits :)
When it turns to deeply personal thats not a person who is good at it, its weakness, thin skinned and ugly. Ugly is not cool nor funny.

Many who engage have known each other for a long time and take it well. Personally I laugh it off, as it should be done. Friendly nudging is encouraged. I’ve seen just as bad as 200 in backyard baseball games.

That said, since my return, 200 and bbs has recently evolved into more acceptable levels.

I get it. We also have events.

IMO, Multiplayer vs AI is like hockey vs golf. As our lives slowdown into quiet searching for excitement is desired.

When I enter the MA, I skim through the Roster, look for problem names, squelch them and fly. :)

There were occasions when someone crossed 3 white lines and required as response. But other than that the abive.

I have said it 1000 times and I'll say it again "Squelch is your friend". That is where the Mods came into play, you have those that just want to grief everyone. With the lower numbers I would suspect the number of Mods is down as well, thus allowing more "drama" on 200. :x

Well, this sure doesn't help things.  Did you call in sick that day, swarmboi?

Some of you need some new hobbies.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

It is.  I haven't flown in about 2 months, and I am upset that I don't miss it anymore than I do.

Crazy there is a guy that flys and sounds like you under a shade account the last couple nights I played.

Kill the AI while you can but be pleasant in doing it. It will remember.  ;)
