Is AI not all that effective?

Post by geozero »

Okay we all know that Human action is more effective. There is also what I like to refer to as the Human Stupid Factor (HSF)... this is basically that humans are prone to make mistakes, forget moves, etc. unlike a programmed AI which will be more rigid, etc.

But from all the posts I've seen we can determine that the more Human interaction the more effective we can play. For example, running the subs personally have actually helped in sinking more enemy ships rather than letting the AI have subs wandering about aimlessly.

But what about convoys, supply, production? Are we to tackle all these intricate resources MANUALLY as well in order to play an effective game? I've seen instances where the AI may not be all that effective...

This brings us to the final conclusion that we must perfrom every single operation, plan every attack, move every ship and aircraft, and manipulate every resource and production in order to play effectively... a very daunting task...

I'm sorry, but I'm going to need a lot more beer... and pretzels...[:D]

Especially beer. Mitigates HSF untill it's no longer relevant.
