Sounds more like a "time" thing than a "money" thing.


Sounds more like a lack of bodies than anything else.  With only two artists, they were overwhelmed with tasks for CT and the core game.

That was the point I was trying to get across.  They didn't have enough time in the day to tend to all the projects they had going on.

Hours logged by employees= money paid

They could be salary employees.   :lol   :aok

15 degrees? LOL you can realese bombs flying inverted in any plane. My personal favorite is a long slow aileron roll in B26s whilst unloading vast ammounts of 100lb bombs on my own runway before finding someone silly enough to try and ho me.

It would be nice if the could put up some AI flights in the main arenas when numbers are low some people like early and mid war but
playing against 10 people if you can find them isn't much fun.At least if there were AI bomber runs or fighter sweeps you know your gonna
find something to shoot at.
Have AI bombers attack fields or strats give them some figher escort not too good tho,and intice some one to go defend the strats and have a fight

Random A.I. adversaries.  I kinda like it.

They have been developing them, what better way to test?   Just toss a few A.I. bogies in the mix.   :aok

I like the idea too!  It would guarantee adversaries at all times, and certainly keep you on your toes... :uhoh

Well, keep your eyes on the Snapshots and FSOs -- cause HTC has said that's where the AIs will be integrated into the game first.

I am strictly against any AI aircraft in the MA.....at any time of day or night.  Keep the MA for real folk.

It's gonna piss me off no end to find out I upped to kill a frikin virtual robot.  Infact I may as well pull the Microsoft thing off me shell and do the missions in that......yaaawwwnnnnn.

Even with a totally dumbed down AI it still would put up a better fight than 90% of AH's human players.  I still wouldn't want to see it in the MA's though.

Perhaps if their work on the game environment, we can get rid of the supernova sun?  Or perhaps the moon that has ventured too close to Earth's orbit?

I suspect HT wouldn't give it much action there either. "BEtter fight than 90%" means that it would be a scourge for that 90%, and the game has a steep frustrating learning curve as it is.

Wouldn't be surprised to see scalable AI in offline before it shows up in MA.
