[#2749]Capital ship AI can't use their main weapon properlly

Post by flywlyx »

AI capital ships still struggle to use their main weapons effectively against moving targets, especially in high attention situations.
It is pretty obvious in the following comparison:
[high attention] 3 Behemoth E vs Xenon K
[low attention] 3 Behemoth E vs Xenon K

In low attention, a Behemoth can output significantly higher DPS while facing the K and finding better firing positions.

Capitals were pretty effective using their main weapons and longer range turrets in 7.00, but they are nerfed again in 7.10.
I suppose that is because of the complaints of how easily they wipe out the xenon capitals using their superior range.

I don't see much difference in 7.0. Their major problem remains unchanged—they still struggle with targeting enemies directly above them.

yep have had a fight yesterday 2asgards+2 syns/Rattlesnakes/Behemoth E vs 1"I"+2 ks after 30 minutes i´ve lost one asgard and 4support ships... it seems that the xenon ships attend to stay above the player ships and those cant handle that behavior as instead of tilting up or downwards try to get an equal plain of battlefield by spiraling up or downwards wich prohibits them from using their main weapons aswell as taking them 10x the time to get there.
