The 5 year Problem with bots

Bots somehow can kill you 1000 meters away after a 360 jump ally off a brick wall but your own bot well…

  1. How mamy times I have had a bots bad at following. I die but bots stuck 50 meters behind or staring at a wall poster
  2. Switching soldiers is like triple clutching. You have to repeat 3 or 4 times. This also needs fixed. I shouldnt have to repeat 4 times to switch to soldier I want.
  3. Bots not having weapons loaded or only 1 round in chamber.Every bot on my team has 1 round or not even loaded. Please Gaijian, just stop. Its kinda of a 5 year runing gag joke in this game.
  4. When I do tell the bots to stay and move up a bit, I will go prone often. So, why I do I see my bot crawl infront of me while I am shooting? 5 years thats been going on, 5 years no fix.
  5. Common sense to add a drink all button. I know wow right. Why drink 1 when there should be whole squad drink button. Amazing I know.
    We see the entire Enlisted staff from Ceo to janitor fix 1 extra silver bug but these long standing issues, nothing. Hopefully 1 day we can fix this 5 year problem.

My biggest frustrations with the bots are them shooting through bushes and the ridiculous AI melee… when they said the my adjusted it now they will actually run at you to melee you along with the insta melee… so they just made them worse

And now the abhorrent amount of molotovs they throw at me.

I notoce they can change gnades in battle. Same bots same squad can pick and choose gnadrs. Your right about melee thats for sure.

I complain about the bots probably more then anyone, and for all my complaining, I think they have just got worse over the years. Yesterday, I was on an upper balcony in Tunisia shooting at an enemy bot probably 150 yards away using a bolt action. I barely missed, however he shot me while he was jumping backwards into a window. :joy: Other times I will shoot at a bot on the left side of a road, only to have him jump the entire street in one leap and shoot me upon his landing. I also get tired of being bayonetted by bots who leap up stairs without touching a step faster then I can click my mouse.

Our bots, other then being used as cannon fodder are almost useless. At least at one time when I ordered them to stay, they actually stayed, but now, they stay for a few seconds then do what ever they want which usually just ends in then dying quickly and just causes me to use every bad word I know at my computer monitor. :expressionless:

Since the last update, I can see that Gaijin spent time upgrading the enemy bots, which I am fine with, but it looks like they either didn’t do a damn thing with our bots, or they actually made them worse. I have always said, I don’t want my own squad of Rambots, I just want them to have basic common sense. Follow orders without deviation. Mirror the user, run when we run, use the same door or window we use, ect. Stop running, standing or crawling in front of us while we are shooting. Our bots already go prone when we go prone, so it’s obvious to me that Gaijin has the technology to mirror them to the player. And if they can’t stop our bots from running or standing in front of us while shooting, then make them invisible to our bullets, so they don’t block our shots thus getting us killed.
