Bots in solo/co-op and portal don't use all vehicles available?

Ai in solo/co-op and portal do not use all available vehicles in a match and can make the match feel more empty as it saves the spot they aren't using just for you to have a confirmed slot available you may use but when there is only two tanks available (I'm on ps4 and some maps only have two sometimes) per team and I play a solo match it kinda sucks that I have to order my vehicle drop for them to use it rather then them able to spawn in my slotted vehicle too I really wish there was a toggle setting for both solo/co-op and portal to allow them to use all available vehicles minus the problem that they still aren't programmed to use some either at all or well enough like the bolte, hovercraft, and more missile fire from pilot copters or mini gun fire from the scout as they only use agms and even then it's pretty rare. Either way since it would be a toggle option and not mandatory no matter what type of change it would not affect the people that wish to still have games with them always having a vehicle slot available if they wanna use them.

    Yeah, that's been a problem since launch.  The AI will definitely not use any jets although they will helos.  ....but then it's hit and miss how they use them.  Sometimes they will simply hover over the battlefield not engaging at all while other times they will.  ....same with the VTOL.  

    As I recall they said they tweaked things a while back to have the AI make better use of the vehicles but I didn't notice much of a difference if at all. Same with revives from AI which didn;t change. 

    I'm not a big fan of solo / coop because I can't stand a lot of what they did in BF2042, but my friends and I have played our share of Portal.  I do hope they focus on AI at some point given it's integration throughout all modes in BF2042.

    Yeah it's a shame it's been like this since launch and when that update for better use of vehicle's happened the main thing that changed that I noticed was a bit more dodging from helos and some better pathing for a few tanks and light vehicles even so they still get stuck and ditch them sometimes and as for helos again they hover way to close to enemies and then proceed to get downed immediately or get a couple kills then go down, so it's definitely True that it's hit or miss with them, but even so if they would at least allow for the player vehicles to be toggled yes or no for the ai to use as well it would at least help with the general playing field being more alive with most vehicles constantly spawning in by Ai even with the amount of times I see some pretty glitchy pathing for tanks or helos not making it through even couple minutes in match. I wasn't even going to make this post in the first place as I thought it would probably be put as less important as other things going on with the game and most people tend to play online online and not really with bots only which is understandable,but as there is no anonymous bug or feedback pages this will do I guess.

  • @Deranged_Broken You also cannot join BOT squads. You could join BOT squads in Battlefield 2 from waaaaay back in 2005... I guess they forgot that feature for 2042...
