Ground unit AI

[FPGT72]

I am not sure where to put this so here seems as good as any;

I have seen lots of talk about the air units AI but I just watched the ground unit AI do something down right stupid.....I mean flat stupid.

I was flying along and what do I know but three commie vehicles putzing down the road.  Well I have a full tank of nape so lets roast some reds.  My bombing skills being what they are I land my napalm long.....DRAT.  Then I see on screen where I am killing the trucks and armor cars....glad I recorded this lets see what happened.

 

Anyone guess.....they drove right into the fire and killed themselves.  I think this would be pretty easy to fix, program the ground AI vehicles if fire is ahead stop at worst, turn around at best.

First time I have seen that.

It's harder than you think.  But still hilarious.

I napalmed a train a couple week ago and the locomotive and tender emerged from the fire still running down the track, on fire.   It eventually rolled to a stop and I got credit for the kill.   That is plausible.  Wish I hade taken a screenshot.

Yes. Ground AI vehicles tend to suffer massive accidents on craters, they jump from destroyed bridges or go to the water when the bridge is full of stopped or destroyed vehicles... I don't know if it's easy or difficult to fix, but without any doubt it should be a maximum priority because it breaks all immersion.

There is an MCU in the editor to make the vehicles scatter to the side of the road; you can program them to do that, for example, if any of them take damage, or if enemies are at a set distance away, or even, I think, with a complex trigger upon the detection of a bomb inside a set area.
