Title: Now with offline dueling against AI - WTG HTC!
Post by: lengro on March 19, 2008, 02:43:33 PM
Just fought the AI P-51 drone in offline mode - really great addition to offline training.

AI fought bravely although he did try a couple of HO's - but thats ok - he's new, he will learn :)

Anyone know if the 'Ace' level AI will hop on 200 and cry about being picked, dealing with Spitdweebs, or indicating that you have just been pwned by AI?   :lol

Has anyone else noticed this is a HUGE requirement for CT, and we're now open beta testing the AI code?

All we need now is the editor to replace my POS-51 with a real aircraft...like an F4U-1

When you're on the runway, take off.  That way when you get warped to the engagement altitude your plane will be flying.

This should be interesting and possibly a great help to the new pilots coming in.

I havnt seen it yet being still at work, but this should be an awesome gunnery practice tool.  And perhaps the infamous "Two Weeks" is nearly over.

just gave it a go.

i'm really rusty so ashamedly it took me a few mens to kill him the first time. seriously good AI though...

it does always seem to merge down into you though. you can kill them really quickly by energy fighting and going for a high diagonal immel merge instead of trying to get him witha  cutback reversal on the merge (his frickin scissors were GOOD!

great job HTC, really good, believable AI.

Is it just me, or are the two different spawns different skill levels?  One seemed realistically challenging, but the other was a breeze. 

Very nice work HTC.

I tried out the new AI just a few minutes ago and for anyone without good throttle control he might be a little tough.

When we got into scissors I put a good burst on his engine with an oil hit. Shorty there after I scored another descent hit and was moving in for a kill shot when he bailed. What was wierd was his plane was in good working order other than trailing oil smoke. His plane continued on for a good 30 seconds flying in a roughly ballistic path. This poked holes in my original theory that because of a visual bug I couldn't see the damage. The only other theory I have came up with is I pilot wounded him.

Why would he bail?

I tried to film my AI flight was unable to, I assume we're sort of placed in a film when doing the practice.
I collided with him first time, no he didnt try to ram me, but I thought it would.
Tried both, killed both after a minute or three, more like three.
After second practice and kill, I swear I saw tracers coming at me and didnt see anything when I looked back, this is what I tried to film. That was also the only time I ever saw enemy fire. The two I fought never seemed to shoot and they had a couple good looking chances.

:salute to whomever put these together, I remember trying to do some training films when in the AHTC and it was not easy.

Just take off, you'll warp into position for the merge :)
