Hullo a new member here, I was wondering if anyone has any enlightenment about a concern I have. When playing solitare SPWaW I have notived the AI is very very weak, in many regards. [B]deployment[/B] , the AI just seems to mush the troops any old where, and it does not take into account any basic principles. Visibility, high ground, natural defences etc. [B]Purchasing[/B] , the AI does not purchase things which complament one another. I know this is a whole programing can of worms, but the AI does not grab FO along with artillery, for example. and the AI chooses not to purchase mines! [B]movement[/B] the AI does not use visibility to move anywhere, just straight lines. or the AI does not move companies in clumps, or spread out after a artillery hit, that sort of thing. [B]planes[/B] , this is a common bitch of mine when playing multi player as well, the computer seems to think tanks are the only target for planes, so when infantry is targeted, even with a spotting unit, the plane will hammer a tank instead! [B]smoke[/B] , the AI does not utilise smoke when covering an advance over open ground. [B]victory objectives[/B] , the AI will get all the nearest units to just go to them. this is a pain as well. Also, no group effort is made to try to work with other units or companies to converge on one, and then move onto another after it is secured. [B]targeting[/B] , Another potential can of worms. little can be done with individual unit targets, but things like counter battery artilery strikes, and airstrikes on units other than tanks. (I think I already mentioned this I know that many people don't do solitare, I use it to kill time at work and away from home. if there is anything out there which addresses this can anyone e-mail me, or post here. thanks.
