The Britts are my favortite faction BTW, so I had plenty of time to get information for "Operation: Citadel"
Nice i like them also. But i need to separate some stuff that should apply on to RMC and some only to CW, also i need to setup some stuff that will apply to both so it will take time i hope we will have RMC ai for next patch ;).

IMO the AI doesn't need 3 Bofors. Bofors are like a jack of all trade and even then AT weapons can easily kill it and it doesn't do anything to tanks. Maybe more AT guns or MG nest though.

The purpose of static defenses is not to win battles but to pin an opponent down in the open where you can wipe them out. That is why they have 25lb Gun-Howitzers as a basic building option. ;)
They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can't get away from us now!

3 bofors max does not mean that AI will always build 3 bofors, IMO all 3 will be build only on big maps with very high res.
Mg nests don't have max and i only saw few on medium maps, don't worry :).

Trucks locking and defending locked trucks, building defences near trucks, unlocking and run home if trucks has low health etc will be implemented when i finish other AI stuff and tests. I hope in the next patch you will be able to play against RMC AI 8).

I just noticed I never see Brit AI Infantry Sections using their Bren LMGs to button vehicles.

Hmmmm, I've never seen it before bt I could be wrong. Maybe Brit Recon squads should use ability when enemy squad is low on men.

@jojo,
There is an interesting difference in experience here looks like 5:2 having observed /not having observed recce snipe activity. zemsex and I regularly observe a behaviour ~ 28% . 72% have never seen it. the numbers don't add up.

Hey guys, of those of you who never see recce snipes how frequently to you compstomp vs CW?
How often do you do team play with CW AI involvement?
Thanks.

I also see it but very very rarely, reason. On begging AI has low muni and one squad with snipe. Later AI upgrades all tommies with bren LMG, and probably AI lost that one snipe squad so there is no way you can see it in late game. I will try some tests with snipe and will see what happens.

Also i would like to hear you opinions about upgrades on tommy squad, how often should AI upgrade them.

They have 3 upgrades snipe, LMG and rifle nades. What is best to upgrade for AI.
I often upgrade 2 snipes and later when i have a lot of muni 2-4 lmg and at least one rifle granades.
Also there is problem AI never builds more then 2-3 tommies maybe max 4 but am not 100% sure.

Thanks for noticing this.

Against Wher: Get a mix of Rifle nades and Bren guns. Maybe a 2:1 ratio (or even 1:1 if there is a Lt. still alive :P)
Against PE: Get full Bren guns

I advise the Brits getting an occasional snipe and have it target enemy snipers, low health squads, or high value targets (PE gren squad). But not too may as its expensive
