   "Epic did include new updates that could calculate ambient occlusion entirely" Not really sure about what do you mean by this.

   When UE4 first launched, I used AO maps for every object. In real time lighting, the difference was always apparent. Over time though, Epic did include new updates that could calculate ambient occlusion entirely, making the AO map feel redundant. I also never used them for props baked in light mass (since they were static).
