After being able to play test dogfighting at the end of last sprint, I came up with a bunch of tasks to iron out the gameplay with this new mode. I think this next sprint will be a shift in gears to get more aesthetics laid down.
Goal Recap
BUG: RaceAI & Hit state
This was a bug that was introduced from the previous sprint. It was just a little bug. If you where in autopatch mode and got hit you got to watch your airplane fly away as you floated helplessly…
Fix AI to work in battle mode
This allows auto-pitch mode for beginners in dogfighting. It basically seeks the map origin height unless it sees an enemy. Then effects the pitch to match their elevation. I will have to play test this with people to nail down how the auto-pitch should act in dogfighting.
Allow Airbrakes on boost
This was an intended thing… I don’t want boosts to be overpowered… so I will keep this in my log and look into it if boosting feels clunky
BUG: Battle Mode: Menu buttons unresponsive
Fixed.
Battle Mode: Start with good shields over basic
This is something we decided to try to get to reflective shields faster in dogfighting
BUG: Hit to Land State camera
This sucker still evades me. I keep thinking I fix it and then randomly it comes back. It happens much less often but I will find it and slay it.
