Gibsonm Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hi, This happened in OP Variable mission 2 to Marko, but I didn't want to post it until that was over: Was he just plain unlucky to move in front of the other tank's muzzle just at the moment of firing (i.e. sh*t happens) or is there some sort of bug where the AI might attempt to fire through a friendly vehicle. I presume the AI can't random fire on other friendly units? Can provide the AAR file if it helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Retro Posted March 2, 2014 Members Share Posted March 2, 2014 I'd not be alarmed until it happens more frequently.. sometimes it's just bad timing (and I am not sure if the AI checks both its LOS and the LOF.. ie if there's lots of lead the LOS might be clear but it'd still hit its wingmen.. of course with KE ammo this would be somewhat unlikely) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Yes, I had assumed that "fragging" wasn't modeled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLabor Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 SB's AIs make blue on blue since 2007 as far as I can tell.Most of the time it's red side, but sometime, it happens on blue side. But I tend to think it is a bad unit management than an actual bug.After all, as PL you have to adopt the most appropriated attitude against the enemy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted March 2, 2014 Members Share Posted March 2, 2014 So far in all the cases that I observed or that were presented to us, the victim was moving into the trajectory in the moment when the gun fired. It happened to me as well. You can't see movement outside the 5° cone of your field of view as a gunner. To that extent I think it's just realistic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoggydog Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Yeah. at the time there was a cluster f**k of CR2's charging all over the place (and much lag for some players too) so I think he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time... I think the shot also took out Markos laptop and ISP!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebs Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I've seen it happen quite often on some of my scenarios, & usually more often on the Red side. Being in column formation is a bad thing when the 4th tank back from the front sees a target dead ahead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDF Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 In fact, this happened with two of my AI-controlled Challengers in the last TGIF, and I've seen it on occasion before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Sean Posted March 2, 2014 Administrators Share Posted March 2, 2014 This happens every once in a while - the AI sees a clear shot and then another tank moves into its path when firing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
