i dont even know what to type here. i just keep getting quickscoped by RUNNING bots they should not be able to headshot me that fast after sprinting. i just want to punch my own face.
nvm my guy just 360 no scoped… idk.
They are much more reactive if you mark targets for them, but don’t expect much
I’m sure I saw something a long time ago that said the bots are far more accurate and receptive if someone is camping. They respond better to noise generation I.E someone hiding in a tower with a rifle, than someone running around with a silenced weapon.
But, bots aren’t meant to be better than an actual player anyway, imagine how dreadful it would be if A.I essentially played the game and not the player. They can be controlled and really useful still, but they’re not meant to be amazing 
My experience is treat them like someone that cant multitask. If they are moving thats all they focus on.
If you have then hold position, they can focus on shooting
Also spotting helps but they react to that super slow now too
Treat them like headless chickens.
Don’t trust them to do anything or defend themselves.
Because they need 5 centuries to invent rifles 1 century to invent cased ammo, and an additional century to invent accurate adjustable iron sights in a bolt action rifle. After that they can fire.
i thought they’re a lot more reactive now after the last update… like, this time they can move and shoot and actually started shooting when they see shit in front of them. poorly mind you, but they did do that and actually killed some unlucky sap.
ofc i then get squad wiped by a single MG burst, but that’s just my dumbassery.
It actually took 8 centuries lmao
I’m going to let you in on what advanced players know, and honestly abuse the mechanic of:
The perk that refers to “accuracy after quick turning” effects AI very heavily. This is why a lot of players will fill extra slots (or riflemen squads) with Riflemen 1s. Not because its the default, but because their base perk is an added amount of that perk.
If a Rifleman 1 is given the extra perk with that buff, you will see them turn and crack headshots VERY often. Especially if you give them upgraded rifles. (The higher damage means that even if they hit the body, it will be a one shot drop.)
You can do it with other soldier types as well by just giving them that perk.
Hope this helps.
