Arma 3 AI Hate Post about 13 years too late.

Yes it's bad
Yes Everyone knows
No, Bohemia Does not care
No, Bohemia will never fix it
No, Bohemia will never bother to put effort into the very things the player base wanted in it's sequels

They're better than most modern games

The vanilla ai isn’t great by any means, it is better than some people give it credit for especially when they themselves mess them up in the editor but there are loads of mods to improve them such as LAMBs, VCOM, Drongo made a lot of modules, NR6 works at a command level and there’s good mods for commanding your individual squad too. Don’t get me wrong you shouldn’t have to do this and BI should improve the AI officially but since atleast for Arma 3 that’s never gonna happen so best thing to do is install the mods yourself

i thought the same thing

I have one: In my normal Anti Stasi games, modded or not, ACE or not, the AI works as expected and everything is fine. In my Anti Stasi games with SpearHead DLC WW2 the AI is completely retarded for no reason, it is almost unplayable. Has Spearhead their own AI?

Yes yes it does. I think. I know that Vietnam DLC has its own AI. So wouldnt be surprised if WW2 does as well. You might need spearhead specific antistasi.
Also I do not know much about antistasi, I am not a fan. Like majority of player-base I spend my time in private servers.

Yes, AI is stoopid AF but this is and has it's charm. I use VCOM AI, LAMBS and AI Don't Go Prone and given up on their stupidity. What I mostly do when making a mission is to put 'feeling' bar to 0% and 'courage' & 'commanding' to 100%. But still they are woke FNG's when in battle or whatever.

"arma 3 Ai is bad"

It isn't AI. They're Bots.

Another out-of-date topic....

Most mods use trick to make the AI "smarter." They flag the player, and the AI always knows player exact location, preventing ai units from getting lost and heading up the stairs, to the house, to the bush... wherever the player is. Add to that the difficulty increase from soldier to veteran or super AI, and you have banana game. Difficulty settings and AI training are two different things, and that's exactly what modders and mission makers do. They use a backdoor.

Look at the workshop, many creators are writing not to use the AI behavior mod because it will ruin the mission. That means mods are not better at all. And if you make a mod sheikh, don't unpacking the mods and looking inside because you see with your own eyes that such a mod combination is great, then you play what you play. Add to this the lack of programming knowledge in .sqf (Status Quo Function), and tadam, welcome in arma rookie.

AI raped OP... like heavy balls slapping off cheeks
