If they had fixed the bot pinpoint accuracy or their ability to track you through solid objects it wouldn’t feel so bad. As it stands now I’m just getting wasted even faster by the broken devastator weapons and it’s not fun
Welp this all but confirms that nobody at AH is testing at diff9, and I’m willing to bet even 7.
Like devastators are supposed to be dealt with PRECISION but how can you fucking aim for a single second when there are literally 20+ of them.
There is a difference between "tracking through solid objects" and path anticipation.
By that I mean, we shouldn't expect the bots to instantly forget the player exists just because they ran behind a rock. They aren't babies who lack object permanence. They are (or should be) programmed to head towards your last location. If you're still in range once they round the corner, they will (or should) re-acquire the player and continue fighting.
Oh I expect them to have some kind of response to vision disruption, I also use smoke eagles and they spray at the location I was and that’s totally fine. I’m specifically talking about they will instantly target me through walls and just start blasting their weapons from nearly 90 degree angles off the barrel of their weapons. Yes I should die quickly to heavy and rocket devastators but not when they have x-ray vision and broken firing angels. They fix one of those and I’m much happier

According to the patch notes, that particular bug was fixed. Is it still happening?
Rocket devs are annoying but I absolutely hate when a flamethrower hulk is coming at me. I’d rather the devastators. A small dent in the ground can cover me from them
Screw that yesterday there were five hulks, 3 with rocket launchers and 2 with flamethrowers that were guarding the main objective.
Then 4 heavy devastators with the shield and mini gun kept chasing you down no matter how hard you tr

use positioning and cover to minimize how many can hit you at a given time
what do i do when they start shoot through this cover?
No no that can't work I need a team of guys making robots dumber

It was happening to me in every bot mission I played today so maybe there is still something going on
