rocketman Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 When troops start to run low on ammo, will they also start to ignore orders which are obviously dangerous to them if they have little ammo, such as doing assaults, moving into known enemy territory or engage the enemy? IMO they should. They would want to be in the back of your formation and secure overtaken objectives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryujin Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 They don't, because they AI is not a good judge of context. The AI would read the situation wrong a lot and players would be left cursing as their AI refused sensible orders. Not to mention it would have to be able to recognize desperate or unusual situations too. The TACAI just can't read the overall situation that well and so it isn't trusted with anything beyond small scale things like fleeing to cover or such and even then you can get odd results (I had a tank "retreat" 100m down the main road into an enemy town after taking contact on a flank). But it's excusable in those situations as the unit is considered panicked, so some occasional crazyness is ok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
