bots. i love them in wc3.. they play jist like a player would. i play wcarcraft 3. theres a game called battle tanks insane. and depending the difficulty.. easy med or hard. depends how they play. and honestly id rather be playing against bots they dont complain that your cheating or hacking or even saying im a dick for useing cheats. i enjoy playing with bots its good practice. and its a good easy fix to.. not kidding they act like real players its funny. also Depending on the teir and class of tank they will act very very differently. example in wot they might program a bot as a light tank to spot other players and sit in a bush. and if it gets spotted it might run away and relocate around till he drops off the raidar. and maybe it would even active scout. and will watch the player and ifvthe players goingvto shoot ahead of it. it may turn the other way making a s pattern. if artys lit up. it will do f2 request fire. if it alone it will go after the artillery and or curcle a lone and defenceless heavy tank. and it will depend on the class of tank too and like a player it will unlock tanks in a tree like a player would. so in tier 1-3 they play like an easy mode aka tomato/orange and make mistakes, and if they cant pen a tank they move to a next tank, or shoot at a weak place, while a tier 4-7 plays like a medium difficulty. making a mistake every 2-5 times in one game example: they will act like a potato or a lemon, but with a brain to not complain and do better everygame like they learn to do better. and if a bot knows that another player is all alone and is defending the flank thats the weakest he will say help! aka f7 and that bot says affermitive. and go to back up that player. (if that player is in serious danger and cant take on the tanks on that flank and wg all they have to do is to tell the bot what is most effective way to defend the base. on a minimap. they will help remove camping i can see the fun in wots again. Now at teirs 8-9 They start playing like a lettice or a cabbage, and like before read a minimap and knows when a flanks in danger.. of being over run. as for tier 10 unicrum status.. as if your fighting against quickybaby or RDDT clan members, or even the game devs them selves. if they see an opening to a flank thats fallen they will assist another flank and will angle its armor against the attacker and if theres arty in play they will keep moving they wont sit still. etc.. and there you have it the perfect way to program a bot in wot. they dont bitch or moan and if they have to carry a team then they gotta do it. again depending on the tank they are useing means diffient tactics. if it is a scout they play as a scout would not die as others do and its a good way to teach players how to advoid dieing as a scout tank. if its a td they stick yo bushes.. and if they have to go on the offence to help the team they will. same for arty.. etc etc etc..

Hmm…the reply system doesnt work on iOs. Instead of adding a reply to a comment, the site added it as a new comment :(

My comment above was meant to be a reply to exocet6951 comment

That’s exactly my first thought

While everyone around says that bots sucks badly and that they cant compete with players, I bet that older (well, I’m 20 so even not that old) players remeber the bots in Quake 2

If you dont or you dont know the bots from this game let me just say the same thing as exocet said above:

Those bots at high level were deadly

I dont think that there is any human that is able to beat such bots on the highest level. The bots usually went straight for the railgun. After that they were able to place a one-hit-KO headshot from the other end of map on you. Seriously. You are running around and went around the corner/outisde the building where the bot was ? BOOM – headshot. Blah, even without a railgun they were able to smash you to the ground with base weapons. You think that Dark Souls series are hard – try launching bot on Quake 2 on highest difficulty and try to beat it…good luck, you will need it badly

So yeah, it is totally in 100% possible to make a bots for PvE modes for WoT that will be able to compete with players or even that will be able to chop the players to the bits and smash them to the ground.

PS: I’m a bit drunk so the typos are highly possible.

If they fail to provide what they are advertising, i.e. PvP game, i’m out too. So far, i’m being patient, but when it gets worse or official – you know the deal…

I have yet to witness a bot with an AI that is not predictable, once you learn a trick or combo to defeat them, you will simply pwn them easily over and over again without effort. At least tomatoes can be quite unpredictable and random.

Any chance this is because Bot (if you read it as Cyrillic text) is Wot?

Bots will kill the game. We like the current crop of vegetables and fruits. The omniscient battlefield awareness would be a killer unless you attacked most bots 2v1.
