months ago you promised us a major update where you would rework bots AI and improve the command wheel so the “squad” would be more useful…well when will this update arrive? you are telling us of another “major update” with mobile AT, smoke screen barrage and motorcycle squad. But what about the so needed bot rework? Is it going to be all in this single update or you have forgot about it?

Yes I am thining the command wheel would be sort of usful if when you went to an individual solidier the current command order could be applied to each soldier rather than just the squad as a whole so individual solidiers could be given commands that were unique to their abilities. The commanding officer level or unit level might unlock new commands or tactical formations … this would be cool to see.
Also some abilities might be useful to call up the map for area of command to be employed, and if possible tracing a route of movement for the squad movement would be useful to provide them a route of cover to a zone… the artillery map etc… could maybe be used for this purpose just call up that map, that might also show current artillery strike zones.
The ability to put in request for strike… or future strike area by someone with radio — actually marking a requested attack zone that is not active but might be active in the future would be useful perhaps in yellow or green. Or an area that is requested not to be hit perhaps in green or blue etc… or movement rally or hold zones in different colors like request for reinforcements to area etc… or an area to avoid due to caution etc… elevation contours on the map could be useful too.
Hopefully devs kept this initial plan in mind and we might see some AI improvements in the News in following weeks. After all, we seem to have “WT styled” devblog season before Big Update in progress.
