The latest update for IL-2 Series is 1.005 and it comes just a couple of weeks after 1.004 arrived. The previous update sported quite a length list of updates with AI improvements being the headlining feature. The latest update is smaller but it has more AI improvements so let’s check that out.

Updates to the sim

Most of the changes are focused on AI in this new update. There’s a new option for AI wingmen behaviour. The default mode has wingman follow the mission scenario until they receive a command from the player. The alternate selection has your wingmates stay in formation until ordered to do something.

There are other changes too. They report improved target prioritization, improved maneuvering and aiming during head-on attacks, even more evasive maneuvers when under attack, as well as fixed control surface jitter.

Other updates include a new MiG-15 training mission, a new pontoon boat, corrected illumination for some lights and phosphorescent cockpit labels, fixes to the fuel system helper with some aircraft, and a few other changes.

  1. Let’s just hope it doesn’t go all Terminator on us. The game won’t be all that fun if we are defeated all the time!

    1. I think 1CGS is pretty good at avoiding that kind of artificiality with their AI. Their flak gunners are, overall, pretty good at not being too accurate but acting well. With the AI improvements here its more about creating character and more variation than making them specifically deadlier.

      1. It’s the kind of situation that Hearts of Iron 4 faces. The degree of AI for each country is different to reflect their readiness for WWII. But more pressingly, if you were playing as Germany against the Soviet Union and America, if the AI was competent for every country, you are going to have an extremely hard time trying to defeat even just one massive country with lots of manpower and lots of resources.

        By the way, please don’t get into playing HOI4. It is really addictive and will turn your attention away from flight simulation. I like your content a lot.
