call me paranoiac or crazy but bots are clearly dumber than 1 month before.
generally, they tend to shoot 1-3 seconds after they saw enemy nearby, now they dont even react somethimes for 7 seconds.
half of the squad was able to kill at least 1 enemy, now they cant kill anyone.
cover system was always non exsitant but they now totally unable to crouch or prone under fire, they just stand tall like sculptures without moving
did they shadownerf them or this is another bug ?

The AI learns after players behaviour, which gets more retarded as time goes on

DF listened to soyboys, who felt triggered by bots being better than themselves, and nerfed the bots.
Same reason for 90% of all the clearly wrong nerf desicions over the last year.

Man it’s funny I feel like they are very inconsistant in behavior in my own experiences. People here have claimed that it’s based on your aggression level but I call bs on that one, I have seen dudes running around mag dumping or shooting flames everywhere like 10 feet in front of my entire squad and none react, and other times I peek over a cliff or around a corner on my way somewhere and some laser bots are already shooting me. I can tell its bots because on the open maps i can see them chasing their player and just snap in my direction like 200m away haha. They also go back to moving or whatever when I duck back behind cover and forget I’m there until I peek out again.

This is pure speculation on my part with 0% evidence, just based on observation from a somewhat active player, but I think that pure bot squads are more aggressive and more accurate sometimes, whereas player led bots are always slow.
I have yet to develop a theory, as to why bot squads sometimes are useles and sometimes superkillers. Maybe the devs shadow buff/nerf their stats so often, that it ends up feeling like conditional behaviour to someone like me, who doesn’t actually pay that much attention…

My speculation, based on my experiences especially as of late, is that the AI belonging to NEW PLAYERS are the ones for laser like accuracy, while those of us that have been playing for a while are getting ones that are dumbed down.
I would assume that if this is the case, they did it to try to retain some new players as their AI will generate a bunch of extra kills and score for them, while our bots are easy targets for the players. Which gives them the illusion that they are doing significantly better than what they really are.

My guess is that as new players only have rifleman 1s, the passive 10.5% weapon spread combined with the perk you can get (15-25% or something) probably makes a difference.
actually I will smoke u and I was also one of those who complained about bots because every time I had a lame non-skippable melee challenge, it was impossible to bayonet even when rushing from behind because of the flick shots, even indoors when they only had <2m worth of time to react. Boring
Friendly advice:
This is DEFINITELY the wrong game to hold e-dick measuring contests.
Any further step in that direction will lead deep into the cringe swamp.

On topic,
It came to my mind that slower AI reaction could (PERHAPS) be a deliberate choice, in order to improve new players’ experience.
Because most of us are accustomed to assault cap zones and enter rooms with high powered guns blazing, which indeed lets us wipe out clueless bots in a blink.
But on the other hand, “slow” bots allow a newbie to enter the same cap zone / room and kill multiple enemies with his starter boltie as well.

I use that same setup on a few of my squads as well though, and it definitely is not having the same level of effect. Don’t get me wrong, they are definitely better than the other AI, but still not on the level the new players’ AI is.
What the worse thing a player can witness while playing Enlisted?
-Watching an enemy player running to the spot that you have you’re squad ordered to hold position.
Why?
-Because you know your squad is just going to stand there and be killed one-by-one.
