I was playing Fall Rot earlier today and noticed a few of the AI bomber pilots were rage quitting and leaving the server after a bad mauling. One of them got on TS and I asked him how they were enjoying the new AI raids and why the rage quitting.
He said he was happy with the extra flight time him and his squad was getting and was pumped that they were able to roll the maps every so often. But he said he wasn't happy with the escorts on either side and was very annoyed that his kills weren't showing up in stats - stats are important to his bot squad apparently.
He also asked how he could join ATAG and when TF5.0 was due out but I told him to read the forums. He might PM u with some feedback later.
Can these bombers be automated during low numbers?
West Coast evenings or early morning when no admin is on it can be slow and at night it dies a boring death when it doesn't have to. I'd love to see them come out when the server is low in numbers.
As you don't want non ATAG members to have access to this feature it's frustrating to know there is something that could keep the server going but no way to launch the raid......
I'm slowly looking in to different ways of doing this, Smoke. Trouble is that I'm terrible with any 'advanced' scripting, though I have some different ideas in mind so as to bring AI on at low server population times. I might pester some of the bright scripting minds in the community for help. As you say, the current system isn't perfect, but it's a start. I'm tied up with r/l stuff for a month or so, so can't spend any time to do any updating on this feature for a while, so it'll have to remain as is for a bit. It's a 'work in slow progress', and a bit of a trial project, so bear with me for a while..
