Tankgunner Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 I played as Axis. When my tanks and infantry moved into the town, Shermans entered it from other side. I planned to move Tiger from sidestreet to the main to knock them out...As my Tiger accurately approached the corner, both enemy tanks fired at him and then quickly reversed between the nearby buildings. There Shermans stopped, ambushing me! Of course, they were knocked easily by panzershrecks, but such an ambush action surprised me. I wonder if there are other tricks used by AI [ January 03, 2004, 04:04 AM: Message edited by: Tankgunner ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ligur Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 The AI reacted to your powerful armor. The AI rightly thought that your Tiger would have nuked the Shermans unless they get the hell out of the way. The TacAI, which can and will take over your own troops as well, will try to "save" units faced with very bad odds by taking cover. Infantry starts crawling towards safety and vehicles reverse out of LOS. I remember reading a really, really old review about CMBO where the author was horrified and scared about the TacAI that "replotted his clever orders" time and time again. Poor sob didn't quite catch on with the fact that the TacAI was just trying to save his troops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Russian Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Originally posted by Tankgunner: I wonder if there are other tricks used by AI While playtesting HSG Barkmann's Corner, which is currently over on The Proving Grounds, I saw the AI pop smoke with a Sherman and reverse out of LOS. That pleasantly surprised me. Good tactics even for a human player. Panther Commander 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
