AI Consume Ammo

I think our AI soldiers and squadmates should consume ammo. It adds a little bit more immersion and makes it more worthwhile to kit them with ammo and backpacks. Our AI already consume medkits, they dont just have an infinite supply

It also will make building ammo boxes more important because you have to make sure you and your AI are all welll supplied

they used to, but it was changed years ago after countless complaints.
Basically they fired all their ammo and never killed anyone. Its better now.

Sorry hell no.

Soldiers were given 5 round rifles as brass worried infantry would “waste ammo” if rifles could shoot more.

AI would just waste ammo. Terrible idea, sorry.

they may not consume ammo but they consume clips leaving them often with one bullet thats bad enough

I vote no because it would be infuriating to switch to a bot and have completely empty guns because they suck at trigger discipline

Well thats why logistics should be more important. People barely build ammo boxes because they have 10 other guys who (occasionally) get kills with an infinite ammo supply. They can even add a new command to have our AI resupply at boxes

Thats why we have the Passive and Aggresive commands. It makes us use our AI strategically. Standing guard at a quiet part of the front or enemies arent near? Passive so they dont waste ammo. Enemies are closing in and the time of action has come? Aggressive

Ive also thought they could make AI switch firing modes based on context. Semi for longer ranges, auto for close. Also I dont know if there is ’’weapon type intelligence’’ but that could also be implemented where they fight based on their primary weapon. So AI with SMGs should only be firing at close ranges and shouldnt be trying to snipe with it

people barely build rallies, you expect too much of NPCs let alone the AI, if even people can struggle with basic concepts such as playing the objective or building rallies than what hope do you have for artificial “intelligence” (more like artificial Italians). Be a little more realistic please.

The Italians did their best, the AI doesn’t. (except when it comes to shooting through bushes)

Considering you were late for the party of having your entire squad reduce their ammo stocks to 1 or 0 mags/clips and you had to manually build an ammo box and resupply every squad member manually we can understand your immersion fantasy.

The issue is not the use but misuse of ammo
I have no problem with AI using ammo
I have a problem with the using ten time the ammo to get a fraction of the kills

Priority, should the bots prioritize easy bot kills
Bot on bot violence
Or the player usually the greater threat
Prioritize radio soldiers

You start counting bullets and you need ai better then we have
How do the ai identify the player, mg trooper
Do they just read the code which would feel cheap
Sorry but even in a game with good ai I wouldn’t trust they without infinite ammo

Give all soldiers more ammo by default
Give ai soldiers more ammo when in bot more
Allow capture points to slow and passively resupply
Allow bots in bit mode to slowly resupply
If the consume ammo of course

So if there engaged they would slowly loose ammo
Instead you know just burning through it

Yes, I hope to have the function of commanding the ai to pick up ammunition. Maybe it can be extended to placing medical kits and the collective crawling action instructions of the team (perhaps the distance for crawling should be set a little smaller than imagined).
