I agree in hindsight, Mr tank here, thanks for the email explaining your actions, is not totally to blame, the tester who leaked information AND beta copies is to blame, that person has f*^%ed my life. Mr tank mearly posted it to make it public(a silly thing, similar to something i did with desktop,so i underastand ok)
I sincerly hope that tester,or even worse...has legal action taken against them. Not since IgotMilk(correct me if i got wrong name,was it mikex5?) posted Assino's map from CCIV beta have i seen such uproah. everything is gone...GONE... months of effort of mine, all lost....
some may say, i told u so, but i think its that type of person who joined S3T Just to do this Crime. its nothing but a crime literally, its copy right.
yeah im pissed, more then i ever have been.somebody's got to pay.
Yeah, but on the other hand, downloading a leaked beta and then posting about it publicly instead of quietly notifying the company is very, very, very wrong too.
I'm pretty sure the company knew about the leak before I did.
I'm not advertising for everybody to go get the beta version. You probably wont like it at the present stage. I has returned to CCV (which I like CoI and CCIV do have a perfectly legal version of).
What I wanted were to inform a group of hard core CC players that the game were on it's way. Until my post not many were sure of that.
Same reason I havent shared my version with anybody.
That being said I do feel bad for the many people who now are under suspicion.

I'm not playing many modern games, so I have a question:
Do many modern games have a decent AI - i.e. one that can actually use tactics?

I played most versions of the Command & Conquer and Age of Empires series. I have never had any problems defeating a single ai opponent. So I normally play against severel ai controlled players at once, or in some cases give the ai an advantage of some kind. A human player is almost always more challenging.
I think an ai's biggest problem is that it can't adapt to its opponent's style, it always plays its own game, this even goes for the very best chess computers.
If anyone has examples of other, please correct me.
IMO the main problem with CC AI is that it usually doesn't use even basic tactics presented in bootcamps which leads to ineffective defence and complete destruction in attack.
The best AI/vetbmod I ever played, was the vetmod for basic CCV. Double the enemy squads, double the mortar.
And the squads were (in non-urban levels) were coded as tanks and such.
As for AI, I found the old panzer general games, very tough. But I still think it's a joke, that they want us to pay 30/40/50 quid for a game where, enemy tanks get confused by bridges!!!!
1.There seemed to be atleast double the number of men, in every type of squad and motar team
2. They were super agressive, you could suddenly have 40 or so, soldats CHARGE you from out of knowhere.
3. If you didn't have prepared MG positions, you'd just be SWAMPED and end up being chopped up in close combat...because the 'crawl of death' didn't work on them, unless you had serious fire-power being thrown at them.
In maps with few houses, the vehical coded infantry really give you a harf time..when was the last time you heard the above examples against the AI?!
Lord knows, how cool this vetmod would be, if grafted onto the stalingrad mods.
1.There seemed to be atleast double the number of men, in every type of squad and motar team
So, basically, the enemy was cheating?

Is it Eastern Front or what? 2/3 of these soldiers should be giving suppressive fire, while the rest should approach the target in cover in order to assault.

I wonder what's the deal with that 'crawl of death'. It seems that the AI is focusing on short term self-preservation of soldiers instead of doing the duty.
IMO there should be more versatile AI with varying approaches of individual soldiers and squads.

Never. And I prefer to not see them in CC, because they sound like they were taken from a cheap RTS game.
I do agree mind, it's a cheap bolt-on of a mod, but it makes it unrealistic in a totally new way, lol.

It seems they hit the ground far too quickly, letting our guys run rings around them.
I'll try and find the mod, it's set in standard ccv campaign, would make more sense if it was the russian front.
Description: Quoted from readme.txt, "Using the excellent editing tools from Sgt_Wilson, Cpl_Filth and The Blood!, 6th-Army and I have made three mods for Close Combat 5. Two of these, GermVeteran and USVeteran are especially for Human player against the AI. The third is intended for Multiplayer combined with Sgt_Wilson's CCReq editor (highly recommended). The purpose of the AI mods is to make the AI a tougher opponent, without "cheating" with historical facts. The purpose of the multiplayer mod is to make all the new vehicles available for multiplayer. " Unzip these files into your /Config Manager/Plugins folder to play.

Some AI of modern games perform much better and realistically because besides rushing for designated VLs or defending designated VLs...some scripted action is also thrown in. So sometimes you see better tank-infantry coordination, flanking attacks, decent fighting withdrawal tactics etc.
With CC, besides the obvious VLs as objectives...the scripted thing is missing. So if say a platoon of Infantry (controlled by the AI) sees a VL...it just rushes in...sometimes piece meal!
With a scripted behaviour...they would execute the attack better (1-2 squads laying down suppressing fire while the other squad attempting a flanking move on the VL maybe). Same with tanks...it lacks scripted AI behaviour.
With Vetmods...it's a bit harder to beat because the numerically boosted infantry coded as vehicles Infantry will usually run to a VL together...and not suicide piece meal attacks.
BTW, flick...the problem with Infantry coded as vehicles is in urban areas...vetmods code Infantry as vehicles for both urban and rural maps...you can't switch back and forth this coding.

So, basically a working CC AI would need:
1. Scripted behaviour.
2. Enchanced morale with taking in account various approaches to combat (like self-preservation, contempt for death, etc.).
3. Working pathing.
Just thinking that another consequence of this is likely to be that people in the community will likely not get invited to participate in the future releases...including the new engine. The bastard that leaked this has painted the entire community as people of low character and un-trustworthy. The developers will likely never take the chance of involving community members again.

Absolutely right....I do this for the joy of being part of the team...not money...not recognition...nothing else....
You know who you are...come clean so the rest of us to get back to testing so we can get a quality product to the community.

I agree about everything.So it means that we will have a lot of unpaid time to mode the games in the future.
