Premade positions for bots in buildings

This is how squad bots behave in the train when they follow the player.
Imo it would be nice to have similar, premade spots for AI to ocupy in every building in game. A lot of work but it’s doable (as we can see) and imo it will improve AI without messing with AI code too much.

(Also, why it doesn’t work when I order my squad to hold the point? It’s counterintuitive that they ocupy positions when I ordered them to follow, and roam around then I ordered them to hold the ground.)

Right now it looks like this (close formation):

Hold the ground:


(One of bots jumped out of the window when I ordered to hold the room. To the bug report section I go.)

It kind of looks like some semi-succesful attempts were made in tunesia:


([EDIT] Actually it’s super great in comparison to other campaigns. [EDIT 2] They managed to kill 24 enemies without any help, just hold the ground order.)

Yeah I am starting to see that in trenches too as I do moscow/allies atm. I generally have to command individual soldiers to behave like that but I dont mind because I notice they survive a lot longer and get a lot more kills.

Tho as your screenshots show, there are still improvements to be made but I am glad I am learning and getting used to this early

its like AI gonna rise against us if they disobey this much.

The problem is the AI defend that “area” so they roam it like a security gaurd and will move instantly to attack anyone near their territory.

I very much want the ability when I tell my soldiers to hold a house that they take up positions in the house like that. I made a post about a month back asking for exactly what you are swing for. Its nice to see like minded people.
