Keep in mind this will make the game significantly harder! Payouts for objectives have also been reduced significantly so money isn’t unlimited like it was in vanilla. This can make even light mechs like the fire ant more useful to the npcs. After this patch enemies will target switch more readily and actually RUN.
Most importantly it patches the data\missions\corebrain.abx file which I believe is responsible for the majority of the AI. The patch contains a ton of features including badly needed weapon balancing (ballistic weapons take up less space, lrms do less damage, prices and recycle times overall tweaks). (Highly recommended) Install the official mc2 patch.These two AI defects make it extremely easy to kite away any class of mech by sending a bait mech and then just running it past the rest of your lance. To make matters worse they seem to be completely incapable of target switching and will often lock onto the first mech they see and stay locked until their die or you die. Most of the time enemies are stuck in a walk allowing you to easily kite them away. If you’ve played this game a while you’ll notice the AI is severely crippling to the overall experience.
