Hi, im enjoying the game, i understand its in Beta, i have notices some situations with AI that could be tweeked/improved.
Right now AI squads are a bit bland, many times they are just free points for the other team.
Taking into account that its a feature that makes this game different, i believe some upgrades could be a great addition.
I suggest adding behaviour patterns, more commands and select multiple soldiers (L&K)
There could also be a new role “Official” to boost their stats, use this behaviour patterns and commands.
The patterns would be:
1.- Aggresive: Soldiers dont fear to die, they shoot anything that moves.
2.- Neutral: Soldiers attack, they shoot if the leader shoot or they are under fire.
3.- Passive: Soldiers hide, they dont shoot unless someone shoots them first.
New commands could be:
-
Group grenade: Make all your soliders or only those selected to throw grenades to the enemy/vehicle you shoot, throw grenade or select.
-
Supression fire: Tell your soldiers or only those selected to shoot to the area you shoot or select.
-
Use estructures: Tell your soldiers or only those selected to use AA/AT buildable estructures.
-
Etc…
Also, the distance when your orders are cancelled could be further, keep a soldier to stay in an AA estructure while i fo to the front.
I understand that sharing my opinion is much easier than working in AI, but i have been thinking in this and i just wanted to share it.
Thanks for everything, commmunity, mods and devs.
Have a great day.
