If you are interested in what are our AI settings in our servers, this post will show and explain you what does each parameter and value does:

Perception​

Sight

Attack=2.4

Trained soldiers can usually identify an exposed target relatively quickly, so 2.4 keeps them alert without making them omniscient.

Hearing

Attack=1.4
MaximumAmplitude=90

Allows AI to react to obvious noises like gunfire or sprinting, but not every faint sound.

Incoming Fire

MaximumAmplitude=135

Gunfire remains the strongest stimulus. AI will react aggressively to rounds landing nearby, but not with immediate pinpoint knowledge of the shooter's location.

Tactical Awareness

ActivationThreshold=92

This slightly lowers the threshold from 100 so AI commits to combat a bit sooner once they've gathered enough evidence. They still won't instantly engage based on a brief glimpse.

Reaction Time

ReactionTimeRandom=0.35

This produces natural variation between individuals. Some enemies react faster, others take longer, making encounters feel less scripted.

Turning Speed

MaxTurnRate=185
PitchRate=95

Your previous values were slightly conservative. These allow trained soldiers to track moving targets smoothly while avoiding unrealistic snap turns.

Distance Accuracy

MaxDistanceDeviation=120

This makes AI somewhat more capable at medium range without turning them into precision shooters at long range.

Recoil Control

RecoilCompensationSkill=0.38

Soldiers generally manage recoil well, but not perfectly. This keeps bursts effective while preventing laser-like full-auto accuracy.

Deliberate Miss System

InitialMissTargetThreshold=45
DeliberateMissTime=3.5
BlendOut=4.5

This creates a believable engagement pattern:

0-2 sec

Mostly suppressive fire

↓

2-5 sec

Walking rounds toward target

↓

5-8 sec

Consistent hits if player stays exposed

That resembles a trained soldier finding the range rather than instantly landing perfect shots.

Burst Discipline

1.2-2.4 seconds

AI pauses long enough to reassess, communicate, and use cover instead of continuously dumping rounds.

Suppression

SuppressionRecoveryRate=0.012

Suppression remains meaningful. A pinned AI will recover, but not immediately, encouraging realistic fire-and-maneuver tactics.

Expected Behavior​

With these settings, the AI should:

• Spot players quickly enough to feel competent.
• Miss or fire suppressively during the first moments of contact.
• Improve accuracy gradually if they maintain visual contact.
• Use controlled bursts rather than endless automatic fire.
• Recover from suppression at a believable pace.
• Be dangerous when ignored, but not superhuman.

That's it!
