For me they are simply bodybags and not partners you can rely upon. Just afk them in a safe place die and respawn as one of them and continue. Is this thier position in the game right now RIGHT?

It depends on the experience of your soldiers. Starred units are actually pretty consistent at gaining kills. Your lower grade units are naturally weaker, I use them to secure flanks at range or secure flags, also to capture whilst I continue to push
I can’t say anything about it since we’re still in alpha. Anyway, it has been mentioned on some news post that advanced squad commands are coming along with other things. We’ll see how the meta will change after that.

I’m still not sure whether making AI squads was a good idea. If AI was good I wouldn’t mind it but let’s be honest, AI sucks even in the biggest AAA games, Darkflow most likely won’t make it much better. We’re still very far from the “perfect” bots, whatever that would mean. AI in Enlisted may improve but it’s never going to be the same threat that the real player is. It is probably too late to make so significant changes but I’d prefer battles with one hundred players instead of twenty players and eighty dumb bots.
Im think the Ai got improved, but it still needs more improvements. It would be cool if Ai was able to find cover by itself and not just stand in the open field.
I’d like to have an option (togglekey) to page through different formations, the AI should try to stay (wedge as standard and line and column as option) that should improve moving effectiveness a lot.

Freedom Fighter a 2005 game had 12 bots that could be controlled easily all we had to do was tell it defend a point or follow me but each soldier could be asked to defend 12 seperate points
i agree with you, the squat bots are useless very stupid, for me its not necesary in the game, with only one soldier and good respam time its good, boots blocks the view they are a big problem, they not defend any places and dead fast for useless AI.
I think it is a good idea, but managing a squad of 6 dumb AIs is too much work if we get advanced squad commands. I’d rather command a team of two AIs I can fully direct and order (like a faster paced ARMA III AI) than a squad of 5 bodybag AI that stay 30 cm from one another and all die in one burst.
Same I do think it is a good idea but it has to be both simplified and developed. A team of 3 men of which two AIs whom you can give precise orders to, would be far better and would make the AIs really enjoyable and useful whilst not making them absolute unbalanced stalinium style deathmachines.
My issue is when your running down a trench and you have to shoulder check EVERY SINGLE bot on the way to the lines. How about player collision with other soldiers if they are PLAYERS, bots running around with their head cut off should not collide with players.
Also please remove bots from standing directly in my line of fire while im ADS shooting at someone over 80m away please? ok Cool.
wont we get a pvp mode? The bots dont actually make the game enjoyable since you can just farm grenades onto them and gg.
AI hella strange, when I order them to be inside a house and I change character, they just start wondering off. And sometimes they dont even follow me, they just stands still.
- Too often, some 1 of my AI just charges at a grenade at sits next to it waiting to die.
they dont know what a grenade is so they dont even use it or get away from it?!xd
basically everyone just plays rambo in this game …and being rambo feels good but me who like pvp gets a little disappointed at this!
ye, one of them sometimes just runs upto the grenade, stands there and than dies due to the grenade blowing up. Even when I have them ordered to stay in a certain point.
which they dont sometimes listen…it sometimes becomes a headache to control them lmao i have 7 people in 3 squads…and i only love the smg squads,anyway this game is different due to ai and so the ai must become>>>>…
I accept that they’ll never not be in Enlisted, but they’re a pain in the ass. They’re either stupid or have aimbot abilities, never an in-between.
This game has to keep bots to maintain a easier place for causal players
But, bots’ ai is not good at all. ATM, is like force players to take this.
Order system toooo simple. And force you to let them stay with them.
Can not avoid get killed, especially nades, fires, lots of stuff.
Can not climb through windows (only minor windows can). Not likely to climb the walls.
Do not avoid open places, like streets, just go to some certain death places.
Enters “terminator” mode, headshot you through bush, or even some penetrable walls.
Note that the AI have machine learning, meaning they will learn and get smarter over time.
I have seen a definite improvement between the AI on day one, and the AI now, two weeks later.
Mind you I am not saying they are good yet, but this game will be in closed testing for at least another year, meaning we got another year to teach them how to play better
