Like in the title AI backing off from 100% kill.
1 on 1 situation, advantage of speed reckless/aggressive officer. Flux advantage.
You name it.
Enemy close to getting overloaded and close to exploding.
Then your friendly AI back off.
I bet some of you seen it and not a one time.
I don't get it.

How is this real? Just keep shooting.
For information the friendly destroyer lose this fight.
Tested few times both with reckless and aggressive officer and with some load outs changes. 
Aggressive officer always back off when AAF fade off and if reckless not kill in his initial charge he also back off(just so he can soon try to re attack it).

Wow, this video shows most clear-cut case of AI failure I've ever seen.

Good use of AAF, bad use of torpedo/LRM finishers.

I've seen stuff like this with ships using their mobility system to disengage at strange moments as well.

Friendly AI didn't back off. Enemy did. While friendly was obsessed with its flanking maneuver.

This is what I'm talked about, when I mentioned somewhere AI backing off from overloaded enemies instead of finishing them off. Wasn't able to recreate it, but it played out identically, but with overloaded enemy.

maybe the ai is over calculating the destruction explosion radius (there used to be problems in earlier patches where ships would constantly take damage from shipsplosions)

I've seen this on Aggressive captains with Full assault On. I yell at my screen but the captain won't listen to me.

Oh, I think you might be on to something with that.

I remember Alex saying a while ago there is a bug in the AI that prioritized avoiding enemy fire over getting in minimum weapon range for steady officers. So if I'm right the AI reluctance is a glitch. Forgive me if I'm wrong there

[Fenrir]

Have an eliminate command been assigned? If not, the AI tend more to suppress the enemy target till they have to back off, if engage is assigned, AI seems to consider ramming an enemy till it have to retreat as clear if there is no allies presence to cover its back.

However I think AI should blow the enemy up directly in most likely kills as well.

But this is with a Reckless officer

[Flet]

This looks like the enemy ai maneuvering away rather than the attacking ai intentionally retreating.

A human would have intentionally pushed in aggressively when a kill was imminant to not miss the oportunity since its not like you can overextend in a situation you are about to win. But AI might not realize this. If thats the case some kind of temporary super-aggression that lasts for a couple seconds when a target the ai is fighting is near death could be implemented. This could be something like having the ai want to stay within 70% of its weapon range instead of just inside it.

But there is nothing to prioritize here. Attacker has already paid the armor cost of winning the engagement. All that is left is to keep firing a second or two more at enemy that can't defend themselves.

[Amoebka]

This is a SO Hammerhead against a non-SO Hammerhead. The defending ship doesn't have the speed to retreat. It is 100% the attacker's faulty AI.
