How about a new AI Please

[metalcraze]

I then set up for the shot, I shoot hit he's down and now there alerted I move to another location in prone position and take a second shot. I shoot hit he's also down now there firing my way I quickly move with out them seeing me in PRONE position and they start firing closer to me and closer

So what's the problem?

Also how do you know they don't see you moving? Because you don't see them?

then finally I run though real thick bush and try and hide but they track me down.

So did you run in the end after all?

silenced TAC50 snd sd rounds

So the modder weapon?

Not mentioning that silenced TAC-50 is still pretty loud IRL

number 1 I don't run to the ai I run from them in another direction before they get a full beat on me. Here is what I did,I set some opfor squad down the road with waypoints coming my direction I move up the hill FILLED with BUSHES and I'm wearing a ghili suit that matches the color of the area around me using the ghili suit script. I then set up for the shot, I shoot hit he's down and now there alerted I move to another location in prone position and take a second shot. I shoot hit he's also down now there firing my way I quickly move with out them seeing me in PRONE position and they start firing closer to me and closer then finally I run though real thick bush and try and hide but they track me down. By the way I took both shots 300ms away with silenced TAC50 snd sd rounds. So now that pissed me off.

The human eye looks for movement... you were "quickly moving".

Do you think ghillie suits turn you invisible?

Edit: If you're such a genius, write a new AI yourself. I'm sure BIS would appreciate it. Until then, please be quiet. The ARMA AI is far more sophisticated than that in any other game (because most FPS's are corridor shooters). It's immensely complicated, and it works.

In fact, BIS's AI is one of the few "true" AIs in any game. The enemies in CoD, etc... they all follow scripted routines. This, however, works on any island, with any weapons, against all kinds of opponents. It's not perfect but what it lacks in "illusion" (scripted routines making bots look like intelligent enemies), it makes up for in versatility.

im sure we can all sit here an spout off a list of 50 things we would like to see the AI do/improve, but we do have to acknowledge just how sophisticated these AIs really are.

they may look dumb, lack any grace or charm, but they really are very impressive.

they are also misunderstood. when they get things right, people call them cheaters with x ray vision, and when they fail people decry it as horrible or broken.

I suggest you go to cornfield in podagorsk, where you can play hide-and-seek with AI.
In nowadays version of ARMA2, If you say AI can still see everything, there are two possible reasons:
1. the map has some visual issues
2. you expose yourself
Of course, I think the AI's memory for your movement should get some fix. Especially for some bad weather (heavy fog or rain or snow or sand storm etc.) or dark night and rainforest, AI should be more easy to lose your way.

There's this hide addon from DWarwick i think, perfect for snipers. Still, running will give your position easily.

Thanks for posting that. I was shocked by how quiet ACE's version was. But I suppose their sounds are rather subdued in any case.

More important than sound, did you see the huge quantity of smoke that shot put out? With .50 snipers, the visual component will force you to displace every time, and not at a sprint, ffs.

[metalcraze]

I'm also relatively sure that smoke does give away your position to AIs as it does to humans.

300m is pretty close also - for me at least.

While i disagree with the tone of the OP, i agree to his complaints.
The points he listed are still among the most annoying AI Bugs since OFP or Arma1.
Yes, we all do indeed know that Armas AI is not scripted like in most other todays games, but Jesus H Christ, these annoying things must be able to be fixed.

An no, the solution is not to get used to it (even if you do automatically over time), they should be fixed, period.

Finally someone agrees with my complaints...These are very important complaints in the fact that the bluefor AI should work with you and listen other wise they just die quick....I usually snipe at 800 to 1000m away but I want to try different experiments to see how the Ai works an understand why they do what they do. You see I have tested Zeus Ai and found it to be to much the Ai really knew every move you make the flanking was great but they saw me 800m out not only that I shot and moved in prone position and ask anyone they can not and shouldn't see that far unless they have a scope or binoculars. GL4 was good but seem to give a to sight at night along slx only good thing about slx is the firstaid and different animation and blood effects. I have tested both Ai will Ace Ai as well to see a difference and it really mad them to aware where a silenced rifle would give you away at 300m and I understand its not that silent but 300 m is pretty far muffle the sound pretty good and not give away your position. Also I found with the AI hey know what buildings you go to even if you slip out the back and enter another building out of there site. So don't kill the messenger I'm just reporting my frustrations and others that have seen these things happen..Night vision is really bad one they dont nvgs and they some how know just where to shoot. So review my complaints and see for yourselves
