    Wiggum15 got a reaction from m0317624 in TAC-AI Committing suicide to often while panicking !   
    Again, Panicking in the military term is not a state of complete irrationality. It describes a state were the soldiers no longer care about orders or a victory on the battlefield, they only want to survive. This can get them killed but that does not mean that Panicking soldiers should show suicidal behavior, especially when inside buildings.

    The "lets get out of the building and stay in the open" thing is really annoying...if the Tac-AI at least would navigate them into some other good cover...

    I highly doubt that...
    Panicking is just the word the game uses for a mental state that gives survival the top priority and no longer cares about orders.

    - Getting out of the building ?
    Ok !

    - Running towards the enemy where no cover at all is available ?
    WTF !

    - Choosing a spot with zero cover and direct LOS to a enemy T72 ?
    WTF !

    - Getting killed by a 120mm HE round from the T72 ?
    Priceless !

    That is not panicking, thats being on some bad drugs...

    You also have to take into account the psychological effect of being inside a building, surrounded by stone walls.
    Even if they think its not safe enough anymore inside the building, the last thing they should do is to aimlessly run outside without a clear idea where they will take cover next...and standing in the open while facing a T72 is not my definition of taking cover...

    At least 2 squads committed suicide that way during my play-through of that mission, although there were more buildings and walls very close they choose to run to a complete open space with 0 cover...

    I know that would be the first comment...
    Does a professional soldier who panics loose all common sense ?

    There is a difference if someone panics, runs out of a building and gets killed while trying to reach another building or if someone just runs out of a building into to open (and stays there !) where there is zero cover and the air is full of lead anyway.

    Hi,

    i just played a scenario where a small joint UKR/US force defends a HQ against a Russian attack, i think the name of the scenario was "Alexanders house" or something like that...anyway...

    The russians had some BTR-80A with the brutal 30mm gun.
    Throughout the scenario my men run out of buildings who got hammered with the 30mm gun.
    The problem, there were enemy soldiers and tanks outside so the squads leaving the building got killed instantly !
    If they had stayed inside the building they may have taken a few wounded but the chance of surviving would have been much higher.

    In another situation a panicking soldier ran out of a building into another one, that ok, but then he turned and ran outside again into the open...facing a enemy tank !
    He stayed there and awaited death which came pretty quick...

    My point is:
    - panicking squads commit suicide to often

    Soldiers like solid stuff (trees/walls ect.) so they tend to cuddle with this kind of cover.
    I understand that they want to leave a building getting hit by a 30mm gun repeatedly but why do they run outside, ignore two other buildings next to them and just run into the open towards the enemy.
    A human reaction would be to stay inside the building and take cover, or at least have a plan like "we get into this other building" or "go behind the APC"...but not to aimlessly run outside into a spot with 0 cover...
