Please remove bots from Squads

Game Discussion Infantry mode (WiP)
1

I just watched the livestream showcasing the infantry mode. Overall, it looks promising but please remove bots, at least in Realistic mode.

I propose a Battlefield-style class system for loadouts, and the same goes for squads: players grouped with friends or randoms, no micromanagement required.

What I don’t want is for the guy I just shot to agent smith into a bot 5 centimeters to the left to just one tap me because he now knows where he was shot from.
I also don’t want to have to fiddle around with controls having to manage 4 other soldiers. I suspect most people will just leave their bot squad to just die or something.

Enlisted already exists and does ai infantry better there is no reason for War Thunder to have a worse version of it.

Yes and the class/squad system from BF is already something that works and isn’t too dissimilar from regular Warthunder gameplay. I am sure if they combine that class/squad system with the regular Warthunder formula it will be a massive success. But the current implementation with the bots isn’t something most people want I believe.

Elaborate? I am under the impression that devs on the Russian stream said there are going to be bots in realistic as well.

Hi. No. I understand they said „There might be some game modes without bots“. How about no bots?

No squad system. No bots either. No AI controlled bots (except if there are no players in the queue if this ends up like naval)

If I wanted to play with AI squadmates, I would play Enlisted. They shouldn’t be adding a copy/paste of Enlisted to War Thunder; it should be different.

Infantry needs 32vs32 or more, wonder if servers would handle that

They said Bots for now but later down the line but your squad will be the only bots as if I remember will be 10x10 or 16x16 so at that point it be BF or COD so the AI squad mates help that issue

Again. No bots pls.

russian devs said on their stream that squads are going to be in realistic modes as well im pretty sure…

Gaijin on their way to add another DOA mode to the game because they have no game designers

As they said - it’s early WiP version and a lot can change :)

I really hope they will listen and won’t turn this into naval 2.0

“Can” or “will”?

I am just not confident in Gaijin’s ability to listen and react to feedback.
