BVR bot test
-
I’ve been going from training to furball (before getting into campaign) & noticed the same predictability across bot difficulty in BVR (This is of course a much simpler game mode, but still noteworthy I think).
Furball Scenario: F-16CM block 52 vs. Mig-29S Fulcrum-C (2 Radar missiles only for optimal kinematics)
@40nm: Closing in/full afterburner
@25nm: Mig lobs R-77 & disengages
@20nm: Soft lock the Mig (RWS/SAM)
@15nm: Fox 3 (Husky) & immediately begin pulling off as the Mig re-engages
(first R-77 lost too much energy to maneuver & missed)@10nm: Mig launches second R-77
@end: Mig is downed & second R-77 is evaded
Ace difficulty definitely gets closer to a hit, but no dice. I think the AI might be optimized for fuller loadouts, because the Viper with minimal loadout kinematics to a single target seems unstoppable. XD
(Can’t do this with my DCS F/A-18, but I still love it).
