CPU cheats with vision?

[itisasitis]

I just had an enemy infantry unit blindly going for one of my arty pieces that was out of vision. In fact, all my units were out of vision and it still went for the towed arty. Please don't tell me the CPU cheats with vision...

Has anyone else experienced this?

[rudankort]

There are no vision cheats in AI code. If you have a save where the AI acts as if it sees something it is not supposed to, I would very much like to investigate it.

[itisasitis]

OK, I have a save now. It doesn't feel at all like a move the AI would do. Where do I send it?

[itisasitis]

I now have a second save file where the AI has vision on an arty piece it should not see.

Hunt through the forum .. the dev has left his contact details for just such a thing

Vision persists from the previous turn, this is what a lot of people overlook.

[itisasitis]

Cool, thanks, I sent it as a support case through the PC2 forum over at Slitherine.

Vision persists? What?

I think what they mean is, that if you move your arty within 2 tiles of a infantry for example that you killed in your turn it will "remember" that your artillery is there and send a bomber to it. You can set traps that way.

Yes and planes also reveal under them when they fly home at the start of their turn. So their vision persists into that turn.

There are no AI cheats that I have seen recons can see 4 hexes .. the ai moves very fast it could scouted and moved away .

But come to think of it i havent seen any evidence of any Ai in the game at all so far. so i guess thats also why it cant cheat.

There is definitely something weird about AI sight.

I had a damaged artillery unit way back of the frontlines with no enemy units or recon in 6 hexes and,in the AI turn a a fighter appeared from nowhere and attacked that unit. There´s NO way any AI unit had line of sight to it.

well try to replicate it ..... did you have a saved game video this for proof...

Remarkably, I'd second Billy. Send a save game to the devs. They seem pretty keen to receive them.

You know this is weird and been wondering sometiems too that AI isnt purely legit. Just now AI decided to attack my tactical bomber in my airfield like 10hexes behind my frontlines, when there is alot more juicier targets in there for it. AI had no unit in proximity of airfield or anyway to see it on last turn. But it just decides to fly to my airfield ant atk it? Its Dover map so it has those radar stations, but their range in info is 4. Closest radar mast is like... 15-20hexes away. AI had no airplane to reveal my airplane in field
