Bots Plane Selection (Skirmish)

[Bio]

hi,
i suggest that when playing a skirmish the player will be able to choose which planes and perk the bots will be able to use.

For Expamle-
I want to learn how to kill a Biplane with REV perk.
I'll go and play skirmish- FFA. 3 BOTS.
the bots are randomly change between all 5 types of planes.

NO!

if my suggest will be used, i'll be able to select under the bots diffculty-
Use only Rev Biplane.

HOW?
very simple!
if i will click the "choose bot planes" option, the planes menu will open (like pressing E after death) and i will be able to choose Rev Biplane instead of "Random" mode.

This will be applied for all the bots on the field.

And, there will be a button that allow thew player to choose combination for each bot (for really bored players only)

what do you think?

You can do all of that (except choosing the bot combos) in the Training Section.

I cant.
I can choose their DIFFICULTY LEVEL.
but i cant choose scenario,
For example- if i want to play only against TA randas i cant.

Thats what I said... Everything except the Bot Combos (TA Randas, HC Bips, EMP Loopy)...

And thats it. I want the options to play only against TA randas to train myself in 1 VS 1 combat.

and there isnt option/button for that.

if i'll be able to play a whole TBD game when only Expert TA randas are playing it will be more "training" then a noraml TBD game against expert bots.

The bots AI would be unable to teach you how to play a plane. They aren't that good at it. TA bot can be seen in some maps repeatedly TA'ing back to their original spawn location repeated with no reason.

The AI is very near sighted. They know the general direction of a goal objective, but can't see how a series of obstructions will alter their flight path. They just pick a way that moves them towards the objective that isn't running into a wall.

These AI are not teachers. If you want to learn a plane setup, look around various servers for someone playing what you want to learn. They may or may not be good, but ten to one they will be better then a bot.

If I understand the AI correctly, the only real difference in the bot difficulty is their allowed top speed. The lower the AI, the slower they are allowed to fly.
