Fix annoying bomber behavior

Postby Trident » Fri Apr 13, 2007 5:42 pm

This bomber was travelling parallel to the other line of bombers, untill i gave it a target. Maybe he just wanted to be different

And has anybody else noticed that they sometimes like to take hugely wide turns?

I like to think of this as a bit of Chaos.

Or human error maybe...in that there is a human controlling the bomber...maybe he thought better of nuking milllions of people???

Basically I think DefCon is better for little AI quirks like this...it's more REAL... :)

Maybe there was a struggle in the cockpit between the flight crew, with one group feeling compelled to carry out their duty and strike the target, and the other desiring to use their limited fuel to fly to a location that would be less threatened by nuclear fallout.
