My memory isn´t the best, get used to it because it´s not gonna get any better.
Yes, if it´s for really good gear that´s no problem but you can´t tell me that grinding for the Panzer IV in Normandy just to get the J variant before having to grind even more for the actually good variant is worth it. It´s a case by case thing.
It´s the flagship feature of this game and they´ve been working on this game for over 4 years atleast so what did they do all this time? The maps? I don´t like to ask unreasonable things from devs but the AI doesn´t look like 4 years in the making to me. Hell there weren´t even any Squad commands until like half a year ago (I think, don´t quote me on that)
Altough I could deal with the AI better if it didn´t do any “smart” positioning and just groups up behind me 24/7. Because standing outside a bunker when there´s a tank shooting at me isn´t very smart for sure.
