Seriously, STOP having the squad AI running like fool around while building!
One of the MOST ANNOYING update you ever did!
They run uncovered and getting killed!

It truly is, only thing to avoid that is to place them like 10-15 meters away. But over all AI behaves absolute annoying and gets wrecked all day, so your Squad is in some cases only one man strong and that’s you.
What annoy’s me as well is that if you order by individual command the AI still stays some stupid fight instead of moving to the desired location, that’s what causes them often to die. If they would just follow your orders to break a fight and not die stupid would be immensely helpful.

AI is annoying anywhere. They even like to stand in front of you when shooting and climb up and down being an pain in the arse frankly ^^ Sometimes its also players but usually its players bots that they cant rly control except if they individual target place them but who got time for that in the beginning

I just want the AI to be able to ‘see’ friendly barbed wire. Nothing worse than fortifying a position and half of your squad is half dead before the enemy even shows up because they’re out there swan-diving into your wire

Didn’t mean for that to reply to Steiner, but I was also going to add that individual orders helps so much. I never used to use it but, frankly, on the defense it’s so much better to use

One of most frustrating things that AIs do is disobeying personal orders. When I was playing Normandy Axis, I ‘personal ordered’ an assaulter to stay in the bunker(control point). Thankfully it did stay there for a while. Then suddenly the assaulter moved outside and got himself almost killed. There was no change of command.
It seems like AIs look for new ways to stay at the point where they were personally ordered to stay. So they move around and die…

When I want to take care of my squad AI, in case of invasion, artillery incoming or a bomber in sight and put them inside a building for a reason with x order… And they run outside of the building instead, circling the building for no reason, getting killed.
Makes no sense.
How could such a foolish behavior get them enlisted? Seems they want to go to AI heaven quick.

Personal orders certainly helps, if you do a squad command to stay in building, that is when they wander… individual orders fix them a lot more to where you want them, just wish you could point them in independent directions.
Did the command post got captured or any objective fulfilled?
Unfortunately it’s the alternative to the ai soldiers randomly sitting inside your building you are building and them not moving an inch. It was really annoying back in the day.
I prefer how it was before than trying to build something and they run around like crazy and getting killed
The control point was not captured. We were defending the point successfully at the point the assaulter started moving.
