AI Balance - Suggesting that changes need to be made 'again'

AI performance has changed dramatically since the last 2 patches. In my first weeks of play at level I, II my AI were shooting fairly often and getting some good/hits kills. Now levelled up to III and higher with perks and they shoot rarely and hit nothing. Only the controlled soldier is getting any score. This is in contrast to the early patches where ‘enemy’ AI were nailing me with headshots from over 100m when I was in a ditch hiding in bushes/long grass not moving not shooting. The whole AI balance is currently out of whack and needs to be fixed.

Super X-Ray vision AI with super aimbot level of coding is not an option, nor is the non -performant AI we currently are seeing. A balance needs to be struck that is perhaps based on visibility and range.

This perhaps needs to be tied to some suggestions I made in earlier posts about orders for AI troops, e.g. Fire at will, hold fire, watch this area then shoot in enemy enters etc.

Developers - please balance/fix this issue. Right now developing and levelling AI troops has become a bit pointless.

To their credit, I’m glad the developers are making changes even if they’re currently over correcting the game feels completely different in a weird way from even late last year.

This latest update seemed to make the AI movement and position selection much more realistic. I’ve had quite a few “movie” moments since the update where the AI are where I’d be if it wasn’t a game. For instance, I was running down the middle of the street yesterday and the AI split up with 3 on each side of the street running through brush as I should’ve been doing.

Good to hear your report. They just need to shoot back a bit more now :slight_smile:

Honestly would be completely ok if they shot less and hit more. Currently it almost feels like they’re throwing ammo out the window

Happy either way -as long as they get a few ore hits. Nothing Uber and not the X-ray vision aimbot ninja stuff, but some kind of balance that gives them some effectiveness.

Lol yeah, I have only had 3 AI kills in the last 3 days I’ve played.
