Skepy Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 I love the idea of this where the UAV see's you the AI spawns and then you have a hard time fighting them. I do think the AI's level of accuracy is a little over powered though. Earlier on I was playing, I had shot down the UAV while it was a fair bit away from me but the AI had spawned anyway. I though its ok, I have cover and I should be good to fight them. I lean around the corner to try get a shot on 1 of them from around 300m and I am insta killed by one of them. These guys use PDW's and they have laser precision and to be honest its hard to find a way to fight them without dying. megabison 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygnome Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 I like the Idea as well and agree with the power. They are on Hardcore mode or something. They should vary depending on you gear if possible. They are kilobits for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axeman Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Have had the same experience with them, they are very accurate at distance. We are looking at balancing the antagonists, along with introducing more scenarios. Am pretty sure these guys will have their weapons downgraded a bit. Skills are set randomly, there is a minimum, may lower that also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BioHazard050 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Yeah. I got instakilled by one a few nights back. Dude had a PDW. It was a good 150 meters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 We have also been killed by them a few times without being able to return fire. I think their skill lever is set to Expert or something and definitely needs to be lowered to give you a fighting chance of killing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PestCtrl Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Been insta killed by them twice now. I like the idea but I'd agree the AI skill is too high. I wouldn't like them to get downgraded to an easy level though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainYarrr Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Well it's a typical Arma 3 issue, either the npcs won't see you and you can take them out one by one without any troubles or they will spot you and shoot you from 300+m away through bushes, plants etc. with a sick accuracy.

Nails Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 The only AI that I have encountered was a time when I thought hiding in a bush would keep the UAV from seeing me. They ran right past me and I lit them up with a Zaffir. This however was probably a lucky/rare experience. I like the AI soldiers the best out of all the antagonists and can't wait to see what more is done with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axeman Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 The main issue is what they are armed with, give them the means to snipe you, they will. Currently that AI team is a standard fire squad designed to deal with all eventualities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cab00se Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Cities are the best place to engage them. A I will usually, once you're spotted, stand still and at a steady rate, shoot half to all of their magazine until they reload. Once they start reloading you can easily deal with them. Just a tip.

joemiken Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Do the AI react differently if you're armed? I was a fresh spawn yesterday and was looting up a town. While looting a trash pile, I heard the buzz of the UAV and looked up to see three AI walking down the street towards me. I took some shots, but was never hit. Ended up ditching them by running through some buildings, but I couldn't believe they didn't KOS me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theninja35 Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I found them really easy to fight off. I was in one building and they were in some bushes right around the corner, but I took them all down and then shot the UAV in no more than 15 bullets with a TRG.

Zedder Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 I like this game mechanic, twice I have had to run from AI, first time I ran out of ammo and had to use cover to retreat, then last night had two UAV's spawn at the same time and only had a pistol, so as soon as I'd shot them down I legged it. Make's it more interesting than just having a way to farm medkits with nerfed AI, especially if yr working in a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If their skill levels are set high enough, doesn't really matter what type of weapon they use...they'll be able to hit you from quite a distance if you give them a chance to.

axeman Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Skills are random but currently have a minimum, is why there is the occasional squad that is beatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there supposed to be a despawn timer on those squads? A friend and I were engaged with one before we both glitched through a house floor and died (GG Arma). Took me 20 minutes to run back, and I found the lone surviving AI standing in a house staring at a wall, motionless and unaware of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
