Well..my hopes are high for some AI tweaks until release, and later maybe mods.
But with an unforgiving AI those missions would be nearly impossible without cheesy tactics.
Edit:
Just chill dude, you're ranting every minute about AI and whatnot - the game is NOT YET released.
Stay tuned.
Die Hard Optimist?
Lets face it, the ai will derp out sometimes. I doubt i will get so lucky like him.

I dont think that was pure ai, right when he started this "flanking" you see that the pathing wasnt right. The ai wanted to get around the left side, stopped and turned next round to go right. maybe a map/pathing error for the procedural map part?
I believe it was the terrain that "confused" the AI there. And I have hopes for 4 and 5 Skull Mission too. :bow:
I think I've made my point. No need to continue now.Edit:

Well, the thing is, there is a huge gap between unforgiving and... the enemy actual shoots at you.
That's been a notable problem in the last several missions:
Late last night he had a 4G hunchback walk up in front of his centurion and... brace
This morning he had a griffin that wouldn't fire PPC shots, even at zero heat.
In this last mission, the enemy heavies both turned their backs to his mechs. The enforcer behaved appropriately (jump and fire), but nothing else among the reinforcements did.
If they re-evaluate targets round by round rather than focus fire each of your mechs apart, I can generally get that.
But not shooting at all at low/zero heat? Something in the AI priority list is just wrong.
Presenting backs? Someone completely screwed the pooch.
Yeah, now I get why people were talking about this guy being hard to watch ><
Sits on 2.5 mil, refuses to try another planet with harder missions because everything in this game costs money....

On top of that, he once briefly looked at Zathras in the upper Northwest corner of the star map. It was about 6 jumps away, cost about 180k to travel (? I don't remember exactly), but it only took 27 days or so. As I remember it, it didn't seem to be overly expensive to travel halfway across the star map.
Ok. Three mechs vs 4 heavies. A braced Quickdraw, a braced Cicada (stock) and a Thunderbolt in cover. What do you prioritize?
Yeah. It probably wouldn't be the Cicada, but oh well. >.>
Which just... stepped forward one hex and didn't shoot OR brace...
So you're thinking, might as well waste an AC20 shot on it, right?

And the thunderbolt just sat in the water without firing all the energy weapons it had even on 0 heat. I hope devs will see this.
As much as the haters do not like his style....he just scored a Thunderbolt!

He just got a 3/3 TDR by stumbling on the order of knockdown and torso popping I've posted in other threads. Now that he knows this, if he keeps doing it, he's at victory lap mode.
As Amechwarrior said, by stumbling into the trick randomly. He didn't even understand what's going on. /clap ?
This really opened my eyes to instability bonus weapons to knock down enemy mechs more easily. 3 Wounds to KO a fresh mech looks absurdly good. Even a 4 wound pilot in a heavy mech that can take a beating looks feasible. It was fun to watch him get the Thunderbolt 5SE... I think the good luck charm for doing this was keeping Dekker alive.
Spell it out to me like I'm 3yo, want get this method down for my own run(s).
Best / easiest way to get mech part salvage it to put arrow to its knee so it gets knocked down and then core it?
Edit: Or method is turning enemy pilot into meat paste?
