Sometimes YOU are the only one at the objective with your squamates (bots). When this happens a general order to defend the location is not enough. You need to set your squamates on key positions like in a bunker. Where you can set Bot B next to the door, Bot C next to the ladder and Bot D to the other entrance. This is better as just running around on the objective area or lying down at the objective centre area.
At this moment the bots are trying to be useful and it works sometimes very well but there are also times where bots are staying on unsafely locations.
In games like Operation Flashpoint or ARMA you was able to give individual orders to your squadmates and I hope to see that feature on Enlisted soon.
This will result that the bots will now stay in more safer positions and also reduce the chance by being killed if you defend an objective and move arround while your squadmates are defending.

I think this just would game more complex, IMO the IA should be improved further so that they can get into positions by themselves
Ive been thinking about this myself actually. It irritates me to no end when i try and take my recon squad and find a good sniping spot and the whole squad dogpiles me and starts taking pot-shots at the nearest enemy giving me away so the ability to spread people out is honestly a must have for me.
Tapping X is already the button for ordering your squad to hold a position, so what if holding X would open up a wheel with all your squad members so you can select a specific individual to stand directly on that spot, with a permanent extra slot on the wheel for the existing ‘forget all orders’ function that holding X gives.
This would keep the system as simple as it is now for people who just want the ability to tell their squad to go somewhere, but adds depth for those who want it. I would also like to see an expansion of the squad orders accessible with Alt; things like wait here, squad stand/crouch/prone, the usual companion commands yaknow?

I would like to add more training the possibility added defensive training another possibility place put bots there or games and give the order to hold the position it says I place soldier where I want and stay the position where I place them I would like to put soldiers bot arrives better use the blankets I find that too often become windows or places where they can be killed easily little can give them orders to stand up crouching or lying down would be good, you really have to add it to the games it would take on a little more strategic dimension I really hope an improvement on ia will be brought.
