In the recent update, ai has not only become extremely slow in engagements, but also completely blind.
In the vehicle stats, you can see in the misc section that the vehicle, in theory, has 2000M of detection range. Thats awesome and all until you join a match just to find out that, despite the stat card saying the vehicle can detect and engage you at 2 whole kilometers, they can only actually do that at 500 meters, sometimes less.
I've tried adding the custom "simple thermal" attachment to vehicles in the DIY workshop and set the range to 2KM, and that doesnt work.
Then I tried adding attachments that have built-in ranges like the PWLS dazzler or the leopard 2a4 commander sight on CHJ's mod, and still, nothing works.
Environment where these problems took place:
Historical battles, and commander mode.
I only tested with DIY vehicles.
Additionally, it seems like if you fire at the target (and actually hit it a couple times) even if it was around 5-6KM away, all of a sudden it can engage you.
Speaking of engagement time, I'm not sure why the decision was made to cap it at 4-10 seconds and not give the option to revert it to the old and instantaneous engagement time.
I thought ai was completely powerless in all previous versions of the game and I wanted to write about how the dev should add a ballistic computer to the AI's aim because its way too easy to dodge incoming rounds.. even when going head on with whoever is firing at you.
TLDR: AI is completely useless, having a very short engagement range despite what u set it to, and the engagement time makes the game genuinely way too boring.
Since many players have reported that the AI was too strong — attacking too quickly after spotting the player and leaving little time to react — we've added a reaction-time buffer this patch to give players more time to respond.
添加AI强度选项会是更好的选择
I get it, but there should just be an option to not have that change.
Will a fix for the engagement range happen any time soon, though?
We'll continue to improve the AI logic going forward, with richer AI combat behavior coming in the summer update.
那就得让AI通过听觉来索敌了
Thanks for the detailed report. We hear you on the AI behavior regression. We're planning to ship multiple AI difficulty tiers in an upcoming update so you can pick a profile that matches the engagement style you want — easier-to-tune detection range, reaction speed and aggressiveness will be part of that. Stay tuned.
