At this rate AI in ArmA3 will probably be really sweet

Although what I really want to see is a competent AI inside the buildings

[Qazdar]

Godd work...

AI at high skill levels becomes unreal ... not sweet.

Really? Maybe it will finally do its share of killing.

Soem player want A.I. not to be able to do the same amout off kills as players do...also keep in mind...if youre outnumbered, you die. A.I. is better in self preservation, so maybe the rush and get killed playstyle does not work that good anymore. A.I. is managable when you take A.I. as a serious thread that wil kill you when you act without caution....especially up close now...so just running around them in circles does not work anymore...and was never a valid tactic.

then lower the AI skill accordingly,
ofcourse if there is something wrong, good CIT ticket may help resolve it fast

The point is, there is nothing wrong with A.I. As long as you treat them like a real threat all goes well. It's usually the lack of caution and the underestimation that lets A.I. look like killer bots.
