Imo it’s dump that 8 of my bots will stand still and get slaughtered (even 5* ones) by one enemy.
So here is my proposal:
when not shot at, AI should have good accuracy. Lets say 90% of shots hit the target. Maybe also it should be more likely to shoot (I don’t know if it’s doable).
I mean that when they shoot, they hit. Not that they will see you through bushes.
when they are shot at, they get slight debuff. 70-80% shots hit.
when under heavy fire (MG fire or even mass bolt action rifles fire) they miss quite a lot (what we have now basically). Enemy fire has to last for a while, so that one burst won’t make your squad useless (also it will prevent weapons like f-ing FG42 from suppressing).
Thanks to that, one enemy will have hard time to kill everyone in your squad without additional support.
Also it might add additional value to strafing runs made by planes, as they will suppress the enemies.
Take note that it won’t affect player at all
Ps.
Ideally AI should seek for cover under heavy fire but it seems devs don’t know how to do that (at least for now), as stances were meant to have aggressive, passive and defensive stance.
Probably should be giving them orders instead of just having them follow you
AI are already quite good at hitting their shots when they get them off, giving AI more power is probably not the best idea, lest the less experienced players get slaughtered by a 5 star AI with a semi auto
Still giving the AI a really high shooting ability
An FG-42 is perfectly capable of suppressing, it was meant to blur the line between a rifle and an LMG
All it would take is a single sniper to out range them or a guy with an SMG to get behind them
Making the AI super prone to suppression isn’t the worst idea, but strafing is already as useful as it can be until we get something like an A-26 with 14 .50cals in the nose
Oh, it will heavily affect players
The AI is continuously being improved, these will be non-issues in time as the AI becomes more sophisticated
Where do I find order “shoot the guy”? Or rather “shoot and actually hit”?
I have never seen that. Unless you are talking about full AI squads that are terminators.
And it was meant to be for paratroopers.
If it was only for gunners, I dould be ok with giving it ability to supress. But it’s a “rifle” that everybody can have so it will “supress” like a rifle.
Not directly. It was a sentecne to avoid players crying that player suppression will kill the game blah blah blah.
Yes. And it’s a sugestion that is meant to do exactly that. Improve AI.
There is no such order, and I doubt there ever will be that level of squad command
Go play a custom battle, watch the AI fight each other, they’re not completely useless as you seem to think
You can suppress with bolt action rifles, suppressing an enemy is not constantly keeping bullets flying over their head, its making them know that if they poke their head up, its getting shot
It will affect players directly
Its a suggestion to improve not how the AI fights, but to give the AI arbitrary buffs to accuracy because your AI aren’t performing up to your standards.
I’m suggesting you tell your AI to get behind cover manually using the lovely individual order system
I’m talking about AI soldiers in a player’s squad
You don’t, you’re not a game developer employed by Darkflow and working on Enlisted
instead you say “I would like AI to be better at shooting back” and not give percentages
And how does it stop one enemy from slaughtering them all while they stare at him and miss all shots?
Then I’ll have to check it.
I could make sugestions like: “game bad, fix it” but imo it’s childlish and pointless.
This forum section is called “suggestions”, that’s why I’m making suggestions instead of complains.
And numbers are only to visualise what I mean. They can be changed at any time, they are just numbers.
Perfectly fair, that is what this forum is after all, people giving suggestions and people then giving their opinions on said suggestions, and nobody here has an opinion better than anyone else’s.
