What do soldier levels actually do? I have 1 level 5 sniper (with scopes) and 2 level 4 (with scope). I dont see any difference when I load the team with zero star snipers, or the 4-5 star guys. So what was the point in grinding them up?
You get more and better perks
Thats it? those perks are pretty much useless, not worth all the grinding it took to get them that high. Total waste of time.
Yeah, it’s pretty Nutty to get rank 5. I’d probably purchase a famous rank 5 soldier; however, for the most part 4 is it for me.
3x3x3x3 = 81 ranked one soldiers to get one level 5. That last iteration is pretty costly and I’ll stick to Rank 4’s…
Unless, there’s a Mad Jack Churchill, Audi Murphy, or Dick Winters… that is. In which case; take my money!
I agree there really needs to be more than just perks to make it worth leveling soldiers up …
Now if they were to make rank 4 and 5 bots noticeably much better then that might be worth it …

35+ vatality, 30/40% less recoil are very good tho.

They get more points to equip better perks and more slots for them. They also seem to be a little bit more deadly and capable of doing their job, but that is not 100% confirmed (that doesn’t mean that they become some kind of terminators of course)
Some of the later perks are extremely powerful, such as decreasing the time to get back up when downed from 8 seconds to 2 seconds, or just +35% health.
Also AI improves with higher level soldiers.

Yeah that’s my point they need to be noticeably better to make it worth the grind. Each soldier level needs to have something unique to differentiate it from the next. And it should be noticeable unique on the battle field. Can we confirm that ai bots even use the perks they are given???
Higher rank means better characteristics, which allow you to chose better perks. That`s it
Is that confirmed by the devs or just speculation? Because it’s very hard to tell that my premium ai soldiers are that much better than others …
They probably do, but it’s hard to notice that until you play as those soldiers yourself. But as far as I noticed faster medkit usage and better medkits perk is 100% utilized.
Confirmed by testing. At the very least, level 1 AI does not shoot downed players. higher level AI does. They also use grenades more, fire more accurately, gain aggro faster, respond better to getting shot, etc.

I know ai is a very complex thing to code. It would be nice to have a confirmation from the devs that the ai should get better as soldiers level and in what way they should be getting better.
That way we would know what to look for when testing to make sure that its actually happening …
