AI Teammates do not engage

[Northrop84]

I'm starting an offline session in Game Master mode. I create my player character and add a few AI soldiers, whom I recruit into my squad once the scenario begins. They follow my commands—Follow Me, Defend, Move, etc.—but they won't shoot at enemies, even when under fire themselves. The only command that makes them fire is 'Suppress,' but they rarely hit anything that way. Am I missing something?

In my testing, the AI teammates were pretty much useless.

the most I could get from them was using the move, (to the enemies) Defend, or Suppress Commands to get them to properly engage. It's still not great. only having a radial menu for commands, which can't be issued to individuals simply isn't enough.

I'm going to mess with the CRX AI mod and see if that changes anything.

So they are usually equally valuable as the rest of the team.

would be great to have a little minion army that realy start attacking :)
