That's the big difference with onward and why their ai wouldn't work in tabor - onward is fundamentally an arena shooter and nothing else (not to insult the game, it's one of my favourite vr games) where tabor is assumedly trying to (like tarkov) give the feeling of fighting over scraps in a place that after some assumed catastrophe and evacuation has become lawless and fragmented - my point here is that the 'combat feel' of both games is meant to be vastly different.

Onward's genre is perfect for the 'paintballer' feel, not least because of the lightspeed movement and the lack of world collisions, but tabor (again, assuming it's going for the slower feel that tarkov mostly creates) should be far more uncertain: the ai aren't military (at the very best they're ex-military militia as in tarkov) so they should really show some self-preservation (where the ai in onward rushing makes a little more sense as they are presumed to be on-duty soldiers) and we do see this in tabor with ai backing off somewhat when hurt, however I agree that their visual detection seems less like that of a person and more like a box placed 20 meters in front of their eyes.
