This seems to be the big change.... tonight should be interesting...
Beyond Visual Range (BVR) Combat AI Improvements:
Available BVR tactics and skill of execution is highly dependent upon AI Skill Level setting.
Added timer for missile evasive manoeuvres when notching. This better allows the AI to defeat a radar operating in Memory (MEM) mode.
AI will use airspeed and altitude based on Skill Level to optimise missile launch kinematics. It will try to be fast and high.
AI will maximise distance between aircraft and target at time of missile impact, based on Skill Level, by using offsets (crank) and reduced airspeed.
Based on Skill Level, AI will appropriately use lead, pure, and lag intercept geometry.
AI will use a low slice in an offset/crank manoeuvre to force an incoming missile into denser air, provide the AI more manoeuvrability, and force hostile radar into a look-down.
Based on Skill Level, AI will use different defensive manoeuvres such as look down clutter notch and reversal/extensions.
AI will randomly use the direction of offsets (cranks) and notches.
Use chaff when the missile is 60 degrees off the nose. This allows the AI to use chaff more effectively when abeam of the threat radar.
Aircraft without radar guided missiles will not climb and accelerate to intercept the enemy.
Note: Basic Fighter Maneuver (BFM) for jets improvements are planned for a June, 2022 update.
