v1.00
In Arma, AI awareness is managed at group level. This means that each AI group acts essentially as a hivemind, having perfect knowledge of each other, and the targets they see.
Hit detection
When an AI unit is hit, said AI unit (and by extensions their group) will gain instant knowledge of the unit that fired at the AI unit. In most cases, this means that the AI unit that was hit and other members of it's group will instantly turn and engage the unit that shot it, if within range and not already engaged.
Visual spotting
The field of view of AI units is quite narrow, and the distance at which they will spot something is dependent on a few factors:
Distance
Skill level of the AI unit
Environment (darkness/fog), NVG/lights will help the AI unit
Stance of the unit that the AI unit attempts to spot
Scope on the AI unit's weapon
Some things that do not affect AI spotting:
Using laser pointers/lights
Uniform/vests (even ghillie suits)
Tracers
v1.01
AI awareness
In Arma, AI awareness is handled on the group level. Each AI group acts like a hivemind, with perfect knowledge of the positions of its group members and the targets they detect.
Hit detection
When an AI unit is hit, it and its group instantly gain knowledge of the position of the attacker. This generally leads to:
Immediate engagement by the hit unit and its group if the attacker is in range and not already engaged.
Quick reaction times make the AI groups formidable in combat.
Visual spotting
The ability of the AI units to visually detect a target depends on a host of factors, including:
Distance: The closer the target, the easier it can be seen.
AI skill level: Higher-skilled AI are more capable of doing so.
Environment: Light, fog, and many other environmental factors impact visibility. NVGs or lights will help the AI units.
Target Stance: Standing targets are easier to see than prone ones.
Weapon Scope: AI units with scoped weapons can spot targets from further away.
Certain elements do not affect AI spotting capabilities, including:
Laser pointers or lights on weapons.
Uniforms or vests, including ghillie suits.
Tracers from fired rounds.
