To be fair though, the DCS AI is intelligent enough to know it doesn't want to exist inside DCS.

But hey man, did you see that they are innovating by selling Afganistán in parts? That beats AI, Dynamic campaign and all of the other stuff we've been asking for, right?

Buying a full fidelity sim at DCS' prices is like buying a muscle car in a place with no roads.

I always found that the DCS AI varies wildly from plane to plane. For example, the AI F5 is like a UFO with perfect energy management. (at least last time I tried).

remember a whole video exists based off falcon 3 called 'the art of the kill'

Yeah..... the DCS AI needs a complete overhaul. Once you play the game for ages you notice patterns in the AI and it becomes easy to trick them.

Yeah, I have tried to get gun kills in the A-10 many times and often the AI would just fly into the trees after a few bursts that missed.

That's not the bad part... the trouble is, for instance, landing on a carrier after asking permission and all that, and just after you land, some AI aircraft decides to land at the same time, right behind you and hits you

You're on a roll with this stuff i see!

These Falcon 3.0/MiG addon AIs are much better on ace level, than showed on the video. That F-16 was very lazy...looked like it has not set proper combat waypoint as CAP, SWEEP or ESCORT....Falcon 3.0 has very good AI, pulling hard and using many maneuvers..

In Falcon 3.0, I always used the padlock view which makes it very easy to track enemies and stay heads-up.

Watching your previous video prompted me to do a little testing of the warthunder bots and made a small video about them. :)

Hahaha 😂. Whenever I say DCS cannot be worse, it will be proven worse.

I think that was supposed to be a feature one day that the AI can mess up and fly into terrain but that it does that on ACE difficulty is kind of silly

Try Su-27 Flanker, great grandpa of DCS and its have good AI for 1995

You're not really making valid points with these videos. ED already said there's an AI update coming. Oh wait, it's for Ground AI. Nevermind.

should try the fishbed, mirage f1M and the hornet

I always found Falcon 3's padlock to be disorienting so I used the external tracking view instead (Could just be because I was about 9-10 years old at the time). Somehow I remember this even after 30 years. Also if I could figure out that mission editor (as a CHILD) then you could, too.

Now i want you to play lock on modern air combay and check its AI

2:57 oof

as a somewhat new and terrible dcs player i say the ai is god like

DCS hate is low hanging fruit

So you compare MiG29 vs F-16 to F-16 vs F-16 and F-16 vs MiG-29 to F-16 vs F-5. If you’re comparing simulators then you should run direct comparisons.

Still a videogame at the end of the day and games were made waaaaay harder back then, partly to compensate for being so short. Once they started pumping millions into games did they start to make them beatable.

DCS is a strange game no doubt! I love Wings over Flanders field because I boot it up and I am placed on a field with my squad mates and we fire up the engines and go. Yes the FM is sucky but the way you just get in a plane and start engines and then have to fly patrol missions with random generated enemies.....it baffles me to no end that DCS cant even do this. WOFF does not have a dynamic campaign and its still amazing. DCS or rather ED are not capable of even a random patrol generator? Click campaign and it just auto generates missions over and over and be random? I mean how "EDIT" easy is this compared to creating an actual dynamic campaign? Anyway not to shit on DCS cause its great at systems but my good God it sucks at immersion and that makes me sad.

No aircraft has pulled 7g for two seconds. I personally destroyed the DCS forum mods which caused the developers to leave in early 2023. Core DCS development has been stalled for over a year solely due to my arguments against the DCS developers.
