AI Pilots

[AKKuya]

Using the smaller maps, AI missions can be set up from the 3 uncapturable bases from each country.  The fuel loadout per aircraft type dictates the distance available.  Enemy HQ, strats, and uncapturable bases are the best options.

AI missions would be creative per designer.  High altitude bombers with escorts, fighter sweeps at different altitudes, JABO missions, etc...  Allied or Axis specific, grab bag assorted aircraft, and blue water plane missions are available.  The possibilities are endless.

Scheduling the Missions are not in my knowledge base.  That would be a CaptTrips or others to comment about.  That should be a small detail.

Scoring.  I would use the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) approach.  There will always be Score potatos and those who game the game.  No system is perfect.  Player victories and AI victories are equal plus the same for deaths.  The stats should reflect the tally in categories for player and AI plus combined.

The benefit as stated prior is to keep the action going.  Turn going into growing.  Turn growing into Titanic Tuesday again with larger maps with 600 players.  Get Special Events back into the discussion for MA players.

Nobody here knows how this falls into place until this becomes a reality.  It's better to try then not try.

Well, don't stress over it.

Cool idea.   

So many options in using AI, one end result will be no more "off" hours.

Lets do this.

Time to revisit this.  Welcome to the era of AI.

Same here. Ill use the AI to practice something Im trying to figure out in a plane,  or work on my aim..... not that that really seems to help me. But a big no to AI in the MA.

Agreed

However, they finally found a way to get rid of me and quite a few others.

Some people grab a concept with white knuckle death grip and you will never ever make sense to them.

I’ve watched the same push very destructive ideas in habitual repeat mode

If we’re going to make it like other games why should I not just go play those games, I get modern graphics too. The game will no li get stand out, it will just be like the rest.

From what I saw in other games fighting AI is the epitome of lame crap.

No kess than kuds using pro-tools to make lame music

Just go away already good grief.

[Animl-AW]

Just go away already good grief.

Shut it punk, I’m gonna make sure you never forget me, mouth. I’m going to rub salt in you every-time I see your name.

You stupid drug infested mouth is why most have you on ignore, all you do is troll and start crap. Now go change your skirt.

I’m going to pound you every time you get in my face.

Now, everyone take note of what this idiot just did to the thread AGAIN

I need this waste permission to post anything. He’s like a groupie with STDs.

No matter what thread I post in this drig infested whack will cook it to ashes

[Animl-AW]

My apologies that whacks follow me and destroy every thread I’m in no matter what I have to say.

Sorry he brought this to your thread

[CptTrips]

Just go away already good grief.

Well, he told you what to implement to make him leave.

[Animl-AW]

Well, he told you what to implement to make him leave.

You are one foot in one foot out

Maybe time to take both feet out, you're not respected here.

#2 most famous on Ignore list
and yes, many tell me that,

You claimed to have me on ignore 46 times, yet you just can't resist. You claim in your sigs to not tolerate your own attributes. High projection. Rent Free buddy, Rent Free

The more you push the more likely I make it an unhappy memory for you. But you will never forget me. You can't, you are totally obsessed with me. Why because i might be smarter then the Mr. Know it All, wannabe? You are threatened some one actually has experience.

Here the 5 Clan is destroying another thread, like they always do as a team. I guess it takes 5 combined to make one brain. You are hopeless on your own. But go ahead, do what everyone loathes you for, ruining threads.

[Slade]

So many times we log in and try to find a fight...we fly SECTORS for nothing many times. 

Yep, AI pilots\planes during low number times will really help this.

Thank you.

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.

Yeah the gameplay outside of peak US times is pretty bad.  I think adding AI would maybe help reverse that.. possibly adding more human players, like you.

If that is your only time to play the game, it simply isn't even worth $1.99 monthly.

I know this is not the ideal answer you’re are all looking for, but Dale did say AI piloted missions are possible in the main arena. I’m sure it’s not easy, but if you have mission editor experience and know how to use your AI of choice it might be a little less tedious. In fact, like I said, if you have experience on what you already know you want to do, Codex could probably do most of the heavy lifting.
