DCO Vehicle BUG removes CAS capabilities.

[pure nest]

From my experience 1-8ing in the server along with many reaper pilots either in-game or in their own testing environments have discerned that DCO vehicles contains a bug to receive 0 vehicle damage when manned by AI. This creates a problem as a CAS mission set is to shape battlefields by removing HVT's. This is rendered impossible with any munition as it is less likely than a coin flip that you will have success striking any manned vehicle. In an expected meta-gaming manner, the current CAS mission set has been flipped on its head by being forced to choose loadouts with less devastating munitions as CAS will only be effective on infantry/bunkers. In my experience IRL, fire missions on INF in the open is so low on the totem pole, to ignore HVT's and instead focus infantry is mind bending. This is unavoidable however with the current environment caused by DCO vehicles. My hope is that some solution can be found soon. CAS in it's current state is completely unrealistic and does little more than ground units can manage on their own.

I agree something needs to change, yesterday we dropped 3 bombs and 2 cluster munitions on a ural ZU truck that was halting the plt push and it didn’t die. Then proceeded to die too one AT4.

I’m sure it’s being worked on tho

I just dont want to be in a meta-game rut in terms of only using CAS for squishy targets rather than what they are meant for

[kindred ginkgo]

we are more than likely going to be removing DCO vehicles in the coming days

where'd you get this comment btw Comment from DCO team, “So I've come to a conclusion, Damage for aerial vehicles some reason does not affect armor when AI are present inside.”

@pure nest interested where its posted

Adding onto this, 28x HE APKWS, 2x AT-4, 6x ZUNIs, and a GBU was dropped on the ZU all of which didn’t even kill a single gunner on the ZU truck, and this literally has no armor so imagine what would happen if we tried the same on a T-80

the russians should replace all armour with the ural at this point lmfao

[gentle zinc]

if u dont mind me asking what does it do anyways?

[last kestrel]

we dropped a 2000 pound bomb 500 pound bomb and a maverick on a shilka and not even a scratch

I mean you can check the mod page. But a TLDR, it makes the vehicle AI not stupid. Theyre more aggressive, will relocate after engaging, they'll flank the enemy, etc

The behavioral stuff are great from the mod honestly.

It’s just a shame that the mod comes with unintended consequences separate from it’s main purpose which is to make the AI smarter.
