BOT Gunnery AI

[USAF8303]

Why would the  BOT Gunnery AI find a retreating DD 12+ km away a bigger threat than two BBs approximately 5 km away?

 

While playing my DD I've noticed time and again, as soon as I'm within gunnery range, the BOTs all switch fire to my DD from  the much closer allied BBs and CAs they were previously shooting at.

 

In one match, I maneuvered my DD in to launch torpedoes, then retreated into my smoke screen. As the battle unfolded, I noticed one BOT CA and two BOT BBs totally ignore the much closer allied BBs and CAs and literally chase my lone DD half way across the map, passing parallel to and between allied vessels. Ultimately this worked to our team's advantage as allied BBs and CAs could pour fire on enemy targets unopposed.

 

Does the BOT AI fear DDs so much they will ignore everything else to get the DDs?

yes the bot AI is prioritized to go after DDs as many have found and pointed out for quite some time now

Have noticed on the public test those bots are just dumb when it comes to there targeting , I guess theres methods to there madness ... I kind of like it cause at times they should be shooting at me .. And there not and they get sunk
