Tanks AI

[Sille]

There seem to be some problem with the tanks AI in my game.

They rarely shoot at the enemy, even if they are within close range. I have to use DC to get them to shoot, its very annoying.

Anyone have the same problem? Can it be modded somehow?

Yea I have noticed this too. Can be annoying at times.

were the enemy in ur tanks field of view? if u see something doesnt mean ur tank crews also see it

I have noticed this but indeed they were not in the field of fire. As well, I was in the Russian battle outside Moscow, saw a T34 scoping a PzIV and thought good, there goes a PZ up in flames. Was just moving on to a point where the Germans were about to break through and the T34 did not fire!

I checked and could not understand why until I noticed the T34 had no armour piercing rounds! So had to scrounge a few while some brave Russians (with NKVD support) ran through a hail of fire to lob a few anti-tank grenades on the tank. 2 dead soldiers later, tank went up in flames. 3rd soldier was able to get back to our lines and be awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union medal.

normally though from what I have seen, tank AI seem to a pretty good job.

The Tank AI isn't bad, it's managable, I'm more concerned about the buggy pathfinding AI for well all vehicles.

That I definitely will agree with!

Yes the path finding is terrible most of the time...

Now it happent again, an inf stood 10m in front of my tank, i even pressed him to attack he still didn't attack...
And yes he had "attack" on his orders...

Man i like to micro my inf in this game but i cant do that if i need to babysit my tanks all the time... Really game breaking at this point :brickwall:

I have no problems what so ever with the Tank AI.
I think its quite good actually.
