Bots AI enhancements

Hi,

I would like to suggest some improvements to the bots’ AI (I sometime doubt it can’t be called intelligence) because some of their behaviors are truly stupid, even suicidal, as they blatantly place themselves under enemy fire:

  • When commander is positioned in or moving through a trench, prevent foolish bots from wandering along its top edges!

  • When commander enter the rear of a building (through a window, for example), prevent completely idiotic bots from going around the building to enter through the main entrance at the front!

  • When commander and squad cover behind something like piles of tree trunks, a tank wreck, or similar objects, prevent suicidal bots from climbing onto it in full view of everyone!

I understand that the bots’ behavior is designed to be compatible with an adapted gameplay for MMO. I don’t think my request will drastically change the gameplay, but it could create a feeling of participating in something a little bit more realistic.

Two other annoying (not to say infuriating) points not related to bots:

  • When you inadvertently cross the game boundary with a tank, please allow a little more time to return. Because, whether you turn back or rear move, more 90% of the time you don’t have enough time!

  • Similarly, when the game area changes due to game progress, if your squad is on upper floors, you generally don’t have time to get back to the new boundaries!

Hopefully, these few suggestions will lead the developers to reconsider their approach…

Yes!! And add in make them attack enemy tanks xxx

Bot bashing is one of my specialties, yet has accomplished nothing from the Dev’s towards fixing them. Everyone of the complaints from this post is valid, and should have been corrected years ago.

I keep saying this, I don’t want my bots to be Rambo, I just want them more intelligent then a retarded three year old. Hey, Gaijin, we’re not asking much, just some basic bot common sense. :no_good_man: If anything, the bots have only got worse.

Half of my squads’ last 6800 kills have been by bots.
