SOG AI
SOG AI was reviewed by PCGamesN!!! [www.pcgamesn.com] Pretty cool!
SOG AI simplifies squad control for any mission where player commands AI. It also makes the Prairie Fire campaign playable and fun for the Single Player. You can also play any Steam Workshop mission or Editor mission. Choose type of team to spawn and command them with hand signals via wheel menu. Supports leapfrog (bounding over watch) movement, fast movement to break contact, stealth commanding via hand-signals, and AI Revive. Every effort has been made to minimize the micro-managing of squad AI. Commanding an AI squad is no longer a hand-holding micro-management nightmare. 🙂
Intended for Single Player, but people use it for MP as long as only one player controls the AI squad.
Use TAB key to see Wheel Menu.
Features:
– Play Prairie Fire campaign missions with AI squad that is an asset and not a liability.
– Play Spearhead 1944 DLC missions
– Play Global Mobilization and Force Recon missions with SOG AI.

– Maximize immersion by commanding your AI squad with hand signals only
– AI squad can move quickly under fire (break contact)
– AI squad can leapfrog attack or leapfrog retreat
– AI can revive each other and the player
– AI will Melee fight each other

– Some VC trackers will have dogs that can sense enemy (i.e., you!) and attack
– Modify your AI team’s loadout (and player’s) at start
– Persistent Napalm FX (scorched earth, burnt trees, destroyed buildings, etc.)

I want to thank the following people:
Credit:
@WebKnight for allowing me to use some of his sweet Burn Em code and integrate it with Spearhead and PF flamethrowers.
@MadRussian for the "blue move" discovery and feedback. Remember I knew him before he bacame a famous legend!
@FroggyLuv for his feedback, knowledge and enthusiasm for all things AI and immersion.
@PierreMGI for his slick AI Revive scripts. I started with his scripts, and have since completely re-written them for single-player and to be Prairie Fire specific, but he gave me a big head start.
@DreadedIdentity for his awesome GUI selector template. That saved me some serious time!
@Haleks for some fun gore fx.
@Veteran29 for some SQF tuning tips
@Snafu for Persistent Napalm improvements and boarding help with Unsung and Vanilla helis.
@SirBassi for Persistent Napalm MP improvements
