Do you (they) have any major plans to change current Squad system or AI*? I’m asking because it is time for me to decide take game seriously or not.
*: Squad System: A player and bunch of AIs moving together.
The player and bunch of AI back is the core design of the game.
Won’t change. But will be improved as time goes.
If somehow you don’t like it, you can play alone vs another players on lone fighters in custom matches.
To answer you even more, since alpha the AI have improved in various aspects, still has lots to be improved on, baby steps.
If you enjoy the concept, how good or bad the AI acts shouldn’t be the main factor if you should take the game serious or not. Also, it’s a casual game, aint much to take serious than our time and how much fun reward the game can give per minute.

What I would personally like to see is a formation system beyond Normal, wide ect.
Some where I can go Line Astern, Line Abreast, Skirmish and so on.
More options and some improved behavior would be most welcome.
And @Shiivex has it right, it about enjoying it at the end of the day, which a lot of us do. Regardless of how stupid the squad can be at times.

Thank you for answer.
I’m kind of OK with AIs, they are -probably- why I finish -relatively speaking- higher position in matches. I’m not sure if I enjoy with my AIs though, we never had a chance to know each other.
Jokes aside, we need more defensive AI IMHO; finding better cover, ability to prone in shell holes or wreckage instead of standing middle of street, hiding behind trees or bushes instead of standing like a dummy in middle of forest, moving in a house -and behind a furniture or wall- instead of standing outside for example.

Ye, Aí and AI squads will Def be updated and upgraded as time goes and as they come with more code to make them even better. All takes time, as costumers, can we afford to wait and or enjoy it as it is and give proper feedback it’s another question…
All of that might come in the far future. At the end of the day it’s still a game bn developed as of now.
Baby steps. 
I have all the patience in the world since I m already enjoying current interactions more than I did in the past,
Can be better? Sure. But I also recognize that shit takes lot of time to do. Proper.
They used to be a lot worse off then they are currently.
Sometime ago I recall they would all stop and shoot upwards at a plane, and it made it relatively easy to dismantle someone’s squad. And times before that they could snipe you from across the board.
AI is a tricky thing to get right in a game of any scope.
I’ve seen iterations of it change over many years of development in other titles, so its just a matter of patience and feedback from us, and in time they will improve hopefully even more.
i would love to see a defend or suppressing fire order for the AI
