It would be so cool if the waiting for a game to start was reduced. I don't mind if the missing players get filled with bots. It's better than the waiting.

Do you mean this reference in the Patch notes :
Added a dynamic minimum player requirement. If not enough players join the lobby in time, the player requirement to start a round will be automatically reduced to a minimum amount of 8 players in order to start a round.
Unfortunately I think this is only relating to Hazard Zone, I would definitely welcome it if they also applied it to AOW.

  DICE please add a dynamic minimum player requirement to AOW it would help so many players to get into rounds quicker and reduce frustration levels.

    DICE please consider this request, imho anything that reduces waiting time in lobbies has got to be a good thing.
