I keep losing to lousy AI with my F-16C in DCS World all the time. :^)
No, seriously, this is sort of impressive. I don't like the taste of this being mostly relevant for war (read as: potentially killing people) but it's a technological advancement nevertheless. What exactly was the input for the AI, though? Just imaging or complete virtual situational awareness? Also from what I've taken from the video the challenge was to just point the nose vector at the contender as long as possible. Not sure if that is even relevant for a AA dogfight anymore these days.
- Waterluvian 6y agoDo you mind adding a bit of colour as to what losing looks like in DCS with an F-16? I (Probably wrongly) thought modern air battles are just about getting within sparrow range and firing one off?
- nix23 6y agoThat's not fun, you just do dogfighting with cannons and/or shortrange IR-Missiles, like in that "AI" Sim.
- ilkkal 6y agoSparrows are history these days, but even more modern weapons can be defeated. It’s a lot about knowing what your weapon’s perf envelope is, and what the other side has to throw at you, and defending appropriately.
- maxden 6y agoYou could watch some of these DCS dogfighting videos, there is a mixture of guns only or short range missiles. https://www.youtube.com/c/GrowlingSidewinder/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/GrowlingSidewinder/videos Here is one where the flightsim pilot dogfights a French Rafale pilot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgDZ4BLk0Pw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgDZ4BLk0Pw
