My frustration level with
the game’s AI

Must be pretty serious if were reaching FMJ levels. Serious though when things are going best is when I’ve told my AI exactly were to stay with individual orders and we’re defending and I get to pop off without them running in front or watching them get massacred in the killfeed rolling up to assault an objective.

One thing I’ve really come to hate about them lately is how they step right in front of me when I’m about to fire; not only does it make me miss the shot, but the enemy’s return fire ends up hitting both of us. Meanwhile, the rest of the squad is so clueless that switching soldiers leaves you completely disoriented. They really ought to make them translucent so bullets can pass right through them, using grenade launchers or even AT weapons when they’re nearby is a disaster. I’ll never forget getting killed by my own Panzerfaust while trying to take out the one tank holding up the whole team, only for a bot to step in front of me and get me killed instead.
Another type of “BOTs” that’s been getting on my nerves lately is the one that decides to fire up its flamethrower and kill everyone on its own team,it seems to happen a lot these days.

I miss when I first started playing because I didn’t care about my bots. I didn’t know what I was doing and I just ran around killing people not paying attention to whether my bots were alive or not. So, to be honest, I can’t honestly say they were any better four and a half years ago. 
I just finished my fifth game, and last since all daily objectives are achieved. If I weren’t so irritated by the bot play, I would play more, but five is enough. One game, I had a seven man squad, got everyone upstairs in the cap point and went down the stairs to fight the enemy. Meanwhile, I stop at the bottom of the stairs to look around the corner and two of my bots ran right past me, both dying. Every other bot ran outside down an outside stairway and all died at the bottom of the stairs. Why the hell even give us bots if they are going to be this stupid, and not follow a single order? NTM, I get a good firing position and either my bots or someone else’s dances with me blocking my shots.
I hope one day to shame the Dev’s into at least making them obey orders, but their shame tolerance level appears to be pretty high. 
Make them follow orders, and if they can’t keep them out of our way, then make them invisible to our bullets.

The silly thing is unless you use the individual orders they roam quite a bit and when you use individual orders they have a range limit because you put them somewhere specifically not just on the objective icon in which case they would roam on the objective anyway 
.
getting rid of the range limit on squad and individual orders would help a fair bit because it’s all too easy to unwittingly go past the limit and have a whole bunch of your bots come run after you like geese.
Often now once I have all the specialist I need I’ll run some squads as a skeleton crew to have less bots to manage less to be killed and less tickets wasted. but i’ll keep others full to bum rush the point if need be (needless to say I tend to run the smaller squads when things get tight because the bots have no self preservation).
