Not really. There’s still ppl surviving shots at 200m with starter, not upgraded bolties.
Headshots are the cure.
And sure, some might argue that bots are now powerful.
But it’s a good thing:
We don’t want mindless drones only useful for second chances if your controlled soldier dies. AI is supposed to emulate other ppl. And each one with a rifle should be potentially deadly, like any human should.
I suppose you Never played stalingrad? Because BA buff was tested here for 8 months so every complain should be sayed during the test fase, not now, adapt to this
Bots in this game are either brain dead drones or aim bot terminators. They haven’t been able to find a happy inbetween yet.
I don’t know, they’re great now, they finally hug cover and stopped wandering around aimlessly!
It was about time…
But bots aren’t perfect yet. Devs are trying to get them here however.
Im max on every campaign so of course I’ve played Stalingrad. If you read my post, I agree with the buff, just not how it makes vitality useless. I guess I never noticed it in Stalingrad before because it’s the campaign I play the least.
The vitality perk is disgusting anyway
Oh hi we did play together 
They’ll get there eventually. The AI has improved heaps since the game CBTs.
Disgustingly good.
As i sayed up all complain on BA buff should be do in testing fase, i find funny people now find it and complain, with all the respect i dont agree with anyone wo complain about this now, i repeat is not a new thing everyone knows BA buff in the end is scheduled to be imported in all campaigns
I knew it was coming, doesn’t mean it is perfect though. As I said before and I’ll say it again because people can’t read. I LIKE the BA buff, I just don’t like how it can one shot troops with vitality. It doesn’t even down them, it straight up one shots them. They need to change it so troops with vitality can survive a shot but troops without still die one shot.
There’s a perk that gives a 50% more chance to go down into a critical state. Try using this perk along with 75%, medpak speed and 200% health restored. I personally have been using this over vitality before the update because vitality is just scummy in its own right.
16 dmg bolt-action before the patch OHK people with vitality ex kar98k,VG2,Lee-enfield ecc…, so nothing has changed expect all starter BA with 13 dmg, can do this now, consider al BA kar98k
Why would I take 50% more chance to go down & sacrifice 40% less vertical recoil? I only take one bandage so 200% med pack is useless to me (especially with assaulter/gunner III which has 100% already with their base perk) and depending on what class, I would take aim speed over med pack usage speed.
I can straight up confirm that it never would one shot kill anyone with vitality unless it was a headshot. That’s coming from someone who uses vitality on 90% of my troops. I can also confirm that bolt action rifles can now one shot troops with vitality and even flametrooper IIs with vitality & their base perk.
Being able to one shot a flametrooper II with 47% extra health is bs unless it’s a headshot.
And i use them a lot and i can confirm full star BA with 16 or more damage before can ignore the vitality perk, probably you never found people using them because all player spam auto
You don’t even need a full star BA to one shot someone with vitality now though.
But it’s fine, thought.
I also use vit. on every soldiers.
But it was to resist smg spray meta from mid long range.
The perk still works well for this, it’s perfect. I felt cheesy resisting bolt action shots before, felt a bit like cheating.
I will keep using vitality. The perk is in a good spot now. It only protects against ppl abusing automatics, skilled players with bolties, or even newcomers, can now overcome it normally, which is rewarding when you land a good shot.
Neither before, mg, semi-auto and SF can with 2/3 shoot kill a soldier with vitality, vitality is good aganaist smg because they have a lower damage
