Default Re: Odd AI Behavior

Yes, we all know the AI will clear it's own wire ( and it's own mines, DT's etc etc and "YOUR" wire if you are defending if you put an engineer unit beside one)

As has been stated many times these ( wire, mines. DT's ) have no "friends". They affect and cause damage equally to both sides. One of the "jobs" of an engineer is to clear these obstacles and there is no way to tell them if they "own" the obstacles or not. If we removed the ability to clear mines , DT's wire etc from the defender to clear these obstacles you KNOW someone will howl who "needs" to be able to clear some of them so he can mount a counterattack and we took that ability away.

So yes, this minor little game quirk has been discussed many times and we are all aware of it
