AI will be controlling the swarms of drones soon.

You could charge gamers to man drones and defensive turrets.

That would be wild!

Thats a possibility. Thing is, I dont think AI will be good enough to beat man in the sky. If you see how AI flies in AH, to a novice they seem decent, but to me, they can easily be juked out since they dont have the ability to think ahead. All they can do is react to my movements and attempt to compensate. By that time, its too late for them.

Of course the quality of AI performance is dependent on the training and the hardware allocated. Games running on PCs can't compete with what will be controlling those military drones.

Something you can do to boost AI performance in DCS is run a dedicated server. Missions running on that handle all the AI so it is offloaded from the client machines.
