First of all, the game is good and it is appreciated.
BUT there are some “features” that might really hurt and/or disappoint players like me.
A fast list of what in particular disappoint me:
Squad AI: simply embarassing sometimes, to not say is really dumb. Squad generally dies without shooting once, even if enemy is directly in front of them, at 2 meters of distance. Any order given is generally not attended, making giving any kind of order just useless. Enemy’s bot AI squad works better, they all turn, crawl, detect instantly and shoot toward u all togheter, if u shoot to one of them. Instead u r squad insist to try to find a cover before even thinking of shooting back and generally turn backwards from where the shoot arrives. Result: all dead. It’s simply pointless, expecially if the game focuses on concept of squads. Also, if u sprint, squad dies trying to catch up to u, basically making ur squad the only person u choose to command. And please remove the “personal order cancelled, ur too far away”, is just annoying and let ur squad die pointlessy since they want to return to u.
It’s incredible that if u shoot with a sniper rifle to a target at very great distance, ur shoot does nothing and/or just pass trought ur opponent. BUT still the enemy turns, spots u istantly wherever u are and generally make an headshot with a submachine gun. That’s definitevely not ok nor funny. Also, all bots seems to be always aware of ur position and is incredible how they want to focus on u even if there are other ally squad / tanks near to them (and shooting em) and u are far away. (sniping generally)
Visibility: there is a sort of “grey” veil all over the screen making visibility very low even on a 4k monitor with all detail setted to ultra quality. Smoke, strange brightness, strange colours makes seeing ur enemy very painfull. But, ehy, enemy bots can shoot u from far distances throught brush and smokes (sometimes walls too) completaly ignoring it. Please think of adding some kind of options for graphic to let players adjust a bit the quality of in game graphic (u can adjust only gamma right now, maybe also brightness would be handly) and/or adjust the visibility for enemy AI, according to brushes, smokes,whatever.
There are also other things, but i dont want to write a wall of text right now.
Maybe, as last suggestion, would be nice to mark bots filling squads with a " * " near to their name, just to recognize em, also cuz ur team AI bots generally do nothing but camping at spawn points.
Anyway, every update is really appreciated.
My apologies if i wrote something in a non perfect english, but im not a native english speaker, tried my best writing this post.
Yesterday I ordered my 2 remaining bots, with MP28s, to move on to attack an objective in conquest while I hung back to build.
Watching the killfeed, the bots somehow proceeded to massacre the enemy players on the point, and had it completely cleared out by the time I got there.
good regarding your 3 point, that is the environmental occlusion that they added to all the campaigns to give it more realism and difficulty, with respect to point 2, if sometimes the sniper rifles are smoked by the enemies since they dodge it when they crouch or They moved yyyyy there is also the firing deviation, that also influences the shot, regarding the bots that stop watching you and that turn and instantly shoot you in the head, if it is very annoying, it was supposedly an improvement of aim for the bots but it is annoying, the way that I do so that they do not give me the shot is; I shoot and instantly I crouch and for the last with respect to the 1 point, you must position your bots in a good place and they will make total destruction you can not take them everywhere as if nothing because they will die quickly try to take care of them and position them well yyyyy so that They are crouched or grounded, you must also be, that’s how things work.
yeah yeah, enemy bots is good, but mine is bad right?
they do did this, but most of the time there’s a delay before they shoot at you. I would suggest changing position/ just spamming crouch till they forget you. As a temporally solution.
while i’m kinda agree with this, people will leave the game when they found out there’s more bots on their team.
I can assure you. teammate AI always go to the point and play objective. It’s either player that snipe from the spawn or the AI got stuck on some door.
all in all bots isn’t perfect right now, but dev did some improvement from time-to-time and hopefully keep doing so.
It’s implemented so that players don’t use bots as spare lives. Or at least limit them as they do so anyway.
It’s Completaly no sense. U can send ur men to defend/attack objective even if u are at other side of map, and they guard/attack objective even if u are at 200km from them. But u can’t say them to sit in a place while u want to roam alone.

Yes it is.

Enemy Bots shoots u in head or upper torso always. No miss. Less then 1 second to turn and aim. It’s really a no no way to play.
I can assure you. teammate AI always go to the point and play objective. It’s either player that snipe from the spawn or the AI got stuck on some door. all in all bots isn’t perfect right now, but dev did some improvement from time-to-time and hopefully keep doing so.
No. AI Bots do nothing in entire battle. It’s silly when u go spectating and see them doing nothing even if enemy is in front of them. And sometimes they fields also impossible squad of 2 members only.
And AI bots drive Tanks and Planes. AND ENEMY AI PRIORITIZE U ALWAYS. (This is absolutely nonsense)
Anybody can write whatever he thinks but, BEFORE we lose interess in the game, (and is only beta), is better for developers to do something about things written into forum. Expecially going in battle alone and ALL ENEMY AI BOTS JUST AIM TO U, IGNORING OTHER BOTS OF UR TEAM. This is really disappointing.
