AI Pilots

[LilMak]

No to AI pilots in the MA. I don’t pay to fight AI. I pay to fight players. If the game doesn’t support that anymore, no need for my subscription.

You act like all players would be subbed by AI.  That wouldn't be the case.

The AI would 9 times out of ten give you a more enjoyable fight than anything thats left here.

Think of it like a rebuilding block.

AI pilots in the MA would let me play the game again. Currently there is no point me logging on during UK-friendly hours just to fly around in empty skies and I am too tired to play during US peak hours. AI escorted bombing raids would give me something to fight or even escort, as raids would be a magnet for the few other fighter pilots online from both sides. The raid frequency could be weighted by numbers online for each side as an additional balancing tool. Those who find the idea of AI pilots anathema could simply ignore the raids.

+1  Round the clock action, regardless of the numbers.

Think about it like this. You don't want to fight AI pilots, so don't. Tag along with an AI escorted bombing raid and wait for enemy human pilots to come to you. The bombing raids will be a lure for any fighter pilot looking for some air to air action.

When I last played I found that in off peak times the few aerial players left tended to fly either buffs or jabos and actively avoided air to air fighting. This is why I gave up and I suspect many others like me. If there was something for players like me to do it might bring some of us back and reverse the trend.

You really need to have an open mind on this.  Its not all black and white.

Adding some AI pilots during off hours (when you probably are not on) allows all of us to participate in this game all the time.

None of us want an all AI pilot Aces High.  That is NOT what we are asking for.

I’s MMP game. I want zero AI pilots in the MA. It’s tradition to not have them.

We had drones in AW.

I know. But not fighter or bomber. Mostly c-47s.

Watched vids of other games with fighters. Mowing the lawn was more exciting. IMO

Do you not see the irony that you’re arguing for your imaginary replacement?!? You’re literally telling me the game would be more fun if I choose AI over players.

If this is true, it’s not just the game that’s doomed. Society is as well.

The AI would add a sense of war happening on a map in the off hours.  You know, something to shoot at.  Maybe the missions run under a 50 person count in the MA.

Right now the option is log out.

To be honest, you'd have more enjoyable fights vs AI than the player base of base grabbers at that hour.

Ever been to the AI portion of the dueling arena?

[captain1ma]

there will be AI and real pilots in the SEA2 tonight. mostly as an experiment!

[Dadtallica]

I’m intrigued I think I’ll check this out!

I think we can all agree that the AI in the DA put up a better fight than 90% of the current population.  Having them in the MA wouldn't be replacement--it's a supplement.

Only if you can attach to the AI planes as a gunner on defensive guns.

What a luxurious position to be so choosey.

The game doesn't support fighting other players round the clock anymore.

Same here.

The MPA AI are a bit stiff in their patterns of flying. There's a guy in there presently (human player) with a ridiculously high Elo. He just gets them to follow his Dora and puts them into the scenery. There's potential but they've had very little work so far. They predate HiTech's present AI fascination by a long period.

Could be 'trained' by existing players with consent & selection.
