🤖 Game Automation in Modern Jet Fighters — Smart AI for Battle and Comfort

In Modern Jet Fighters, modern combat isn’t only about reflexes — it’s also about how smart your systems are. That’s why we’ve implemented a flexible Autopilot system, originally developed for AI-controlled wingmen and offline enemies — now also optionally available for players who want a simplified, low-pressure experience.

This is not about giving up control. It’s about making air combat more accessible and comfortable, especially in routine situations.

🧠 AI-Driven Combat Foundation

The Autopilot system powers all AI aircraft in the game — from your squadmates to PvE opponents. It handles:

Navigation

• Following predefined flight routes

• Autonomous target scanning

• Terrain avoidance (including complex surfaces like cliffs, canyons, and hills)

Attack Execution

• Identifying and engaging air/ground targets

• Smart use of cannons, missiles, and tactical tools (afterburner, flares, chaff)

Squad Integration

• Maintaining tight formations

• Attacking leader-designated enemies

• Defending the squad or reacting to threats independently

🧑‍✈️ Players Can Enable It Too

Although developed for AI behavior, Autopilot can be enabled by the player as a support tool for easier control during routine gameplay.

When activated, Autopilot can:

• Fly the aircraft along a pre-set path or patrol pattern

• Automatically manage throttle and speed

• Engage enemies using built-in fire logic

• Deploy flares or countermeasures without manual input

This is not designed as a high-skill tool — it’s a way to enjoy combat more casually or comfortably, letting the system handle the basics while you enjoy the visuals, flow, or learning curve.

⚙️ Modular, Tunable System

Each aspect of Autopilot (throttle, weapons, flares, targeting) is modular and adjustable. Internally, AI uses tunable reaction delay parameters to make its behavior more human-like:

• Missile launch: 2–5 sec

• Flare reaction: 1.5–4 sec

• Target switching: 1–3 sec

• Afterburner use based on distance and threat

🛡 Designed for Everyone — Not Just the AI

Autopilot is always active for disconnected players — your aircraft keeps fighting so the team isn’t penalized.

But for players who want a relaxed experience, or who prefer less manual multitasking, enabling Autopilot brings:

• Lower execution pressure

• A smoother entry point for beginners

• A casual flight experience with tactical visuals and sound

🧪 Experimental Feature, Open to Feedback

Autopilot is still in experimental testing. We’ll be gathering player data and feedback on:

• When and why players activate it

• Whether it helps with onboarding and retention

• How it impacts fairness in multiplayer

Our goal is to make it a useful optional feature, never a requirement — and certainly never a competitive shortcut.

In Modern Jet Fighters, Autopilot is your co-pilot — an optional assistant for flying easier, not smarter. Let the AI do the basics while you enjoy the ride.
