That way, you will always know instantly whenever you become spotted by an AI opponent. We have also updated the AI vehicle reaction mechanism in order to reduce various unpopular AI “snap shot” situations where AI vehicles target and fire at you the moment you are spotted. However, the same AI vehicles will now remember where you are for a longer period of time. General Changes The game now remembers whether you opened or closed various Visual Customization UI categories and keeps them that way PvP loading screen minimaps now feature the location of spawning positions Fixed several smaller visual model issues Added several new assets for future events Time to brace for impact?

Haswell 294 Posted January 27, 2021 I'll just wait for the inevitable bugs that will get fixed next week instead. Quote Spoiler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This will make the bots behave more like real players rather than (poorly optimized) omniscient computers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JintoLin 9 Posted January 28, 2021 Now they need to fix the "magic missiles" the bots use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haswell 294 Posted January 29, 2021 From a sample of one single heroic run, I can say for certain that the inclusion of wheelie bots actually made the game easier. Less T-15 spam overall because Wilks now took up the spot, and Sphinxes aren't too different than the Bradley spam. Haven't checked low tiers yet, but I expect the Swingfire spam to have lessened considerably. The problem now is IT-1 bots... Quote Spoiler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JintoLin 9 Posted January 29, 2021 The AI does seems to push the flanks more. Not sure if I am a fan of this. Now they need to update bot spawn locations and update the maps to show where the bots will be spawning from, kinda like they do on PvP maps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't experienced that yet, but it sounds like an improvement to me. I would prefer to see bots pushing the flanks and performing other normal, rational tactics than to have them simply spawn behind me in an area that has already been cleared to simulate flanking. If the bots actually flank now, that gives LTs and AFVs a role role to play other than fire support. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katsumoto 11 Posted January 30, 2021 Is there any word on what the 95 MB update that showed up is about? Quote "If you were not birthed with claws or fangs, store bought will do just fine." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haswell 294 Posted January 30, 2021 Just an update to DirectX binaries it seems, I don't see anything else being touched from the manifest. Quote Spoiler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JintoLin 9 Posted January 30, 2021 Definitely not a fan of the new AI tweaks. They human spawn has been rushed by the bots and the team wiped on several different matches and levels now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
