Player is no longer awarded Success Mission Rating if he

does not hit the primary target himself and AI wingman destroys

the primary target instead.

 

I do not like this.

[tn_prvteye 36]

Yeah, I'm not too happy with that, either. I like the new Flight and Squad command, but forcing to player to make the kill seems a bit much.

should i have the EXP1 & EXP2 in order to install this?

[xclusiv8 35]

I do not like this.

 

That is a nice way for TK to tell the community i dont give a s**t about the bad A.I. Get stuff done by your self!!

"Well, you'll still get mission accomplished, just not the Success rating (which goes with medals and promotions). We'll see what everone else thinks, but it was one of the changes requested by others users." - Thirdwire on FB

Well, the AI are certainly light years ahead of the AI in IL-2 in terms of dogfight skill, and everything else. They actually attack, break-off, and do everything you tell them to. I LOVE the AI in SF2.

[+JonathanRL 974]

Yea, I usually have problems having the IL-2 AI attack a ship that is dead ahead of them and activly shooting at them.

I do not like this.

 

 

Yes - not happy about that - hope it can be disabled

[MigBuster 2,923]

I'm going to leave this download a little while until there's more feedback on it.

 

Just out of curiosity; what exactly does 'Action View' mean?

[liamp51 6]

Another thing I'm a little confused about is which patch do I download? I have EXP2 and everything merged, so do I just get both? Hmmmm...

Indeed, AI in SF2 is generallly pretty good. They can decide which tactical action to execute even without orders or instructions. Sometimes the problem is that the AI is too liberal in choosing its own action, especially the flight 1,2, etc, when you want them to attack tanks, they go after AAA. Otherwise, the only criticism I have on AI is that they can't follow me flying ultra low, which is a necessity when playing campaign on Hard. There's S-75 and Buk system behind every tree.

 

Sometimes I really hope that there's at least 8p co-op mode.

That is one of my main concerns. Low level flight :(

[+PureBlue 71]

That's a huge update from TK :good:

Changelog shows many updated files.

 

And I really dig the New Attack command and Action View.

[ArturR 17]

Weapons Editor no longer sees stock weapons

[Gr.Viper 131]

TK said CAT format has been changed again. We need to wait for updated tools.

[Jaman 5]

That is one of my main concerns. Low level flight :(

Can´t that be changed with "SafeAltitude=" under "[AIData]"? Or do they crash constantly if you set it too low?

[+Swordsman422 71]

My understanding of the Mission Success thing is this: you are awarded a mission success but NOT the full points for it if you don't kill the target yourself. It isn't that you will fail, you just won't get all the points for killing it. No big in my book. I actually would like to get promoted less quickly.

 

Being able to command your whole flight to kill a target, now that's a command I've needed for a long time.

[Gr.Viper 131]

Hmm.. DLC store and online manual are now options in the "Game Icon menu"

 

Is it me or the Brits got more 3D love with this update?

[Teras 67]

TREES NOW FADE

 

:drinks: :drinks: :drinks: :drinks: :drinks:

 

rest is not important for me hahaha!

[+Stary 2,432]

bummer... now they fade at very short distance... must be new shaders for tod objects, so will be possible to extend I guess

 

buildings fade too -and I really like this feature

[xclusiv8 35]

they fade? then TK should extend the viewdistance for trees.
