Wtf is wrong with the AI?
The AI are impossibly retarded. I swear I recruit all my units through special ed classes because ♥♥♥♥ me is it impressive, how terribly incompotent they are.

For example, I was assaulting a factory, I thought it would be stupidly easy since I had mortars ready and I was approaching in an MRAP with a HMG. Simple stuff. I artillaried the base and killed most people and then approached in the MRAP with a height advantage in a forest, I could overlook the entire place and clearly see all the enemies. My gunner however decided that the bundle of enemies in the middle of the road 150m away were pretty cool people so I had to literally command him out so I could shoot them myself, which I did. I can handle a bit of AI jank, that's fine with me. But after I killed 99% of the enemies I went into loot their corpses and told the AI to drive and gun the MRAP while I load it up with gear. There was so much loot the MRAP couldn't even hold half of it so I spotted an infantry truck and decided that I would move up and take it and have my MRAP escort me. so I move up to it, but there was a singular enemy about 100mm, in the middle of the road. so no problem, I took cover behind the truck and ordered the MRAP to push as I was pinned down and injured slowly dying about 50-25m away. They just refused to move at all, or push up in their armoured and gunned MRAP. There was very clearly enough room for them to move up but they just would not budge. and so I sped the game up as fast as I could and spammed for them to move forward and they literally just did nothing the whole time. so I finally got fed up and tried to push the 25m distance from the truck to the mrap and got killed. which means the gunner had line of sight on the MRAP and vice versa. when I got downed they decided it was a good idea to jump out and all of them just sat they as they were being shot, not firing back from the guy who was about 100m away. they weren't even trying to revive me, they kinda just sat there and died for no reason like they were brain dead. from a singular unit.

Also have that problem, while sneaking into a base trying to steal a vehicle I tell one of my AI comrades to enter it as passenger or whatever, he stands right beside it but desides to morph through the wall so the enemy spots him and kills him, its just stupid.

Or the dumb fact that an enemy ALWAYS kills me with 1-2 shots, even if its just a 9mm MP5-K, while I need 4-8 shots LITERALLY to down an enemy while using an M4.

I think i'm done with the mod, I managed to load up cargo in a car but the AI doesn't ever stay on the road and ends up flipping the vehicle or killing themsevles for literally no reason other than they refused to use the open road. and everytime I capture a base it gets raided by 2 tanks, 3 fast movers and 2 attack choppers and I own literally nothing. I can't even get my first terrotory to get enough money to buy anything to defend stuff.

How high is your aggression level?

1. What is your AI level? You are a commander of a motivated but lack of training guerrilla force. You have to train them first in order to make them useful. When I was in the late game myself, they are like special forces.
2. You just capture a military base by force. What are you expecting anyway? A mall cop comes in and ask you to leave nicely?
3. It seems like you are still in the early game. You are not suppose to capture anything yet. Focus on rising the AI level and unlocking weapons.

My AI level is 3, I had to take a base in order to get from 2-3 but I couldn't keep it. and I always try and keep my aggression level between 10-20.

The AI level has to be at least 9 - 10 in order to become somewhat useful. Don't even think about holding any terrortory before that, or you are just wasting your money and man power.

AI at level 3 is far too low to really expect them to be any better then cannon fodder. I managed to get mine upto lvl 14 and they are noticeably better with spotting and engagement. With vehicles. I actually prefer AI gunners as they are quite accurate in engagement. The problem is that AI has limitation to its identification of targets and sometimes require assistance. You can assist the AI in spotting targets by centering the enemy in free view as a driver and press T to command the AI to engage them. Press T again to cancel targetting. Once you spot a target to the squad, the AI really get on top of it fast. Ai drivers is a bit spotty, I usually tow rope into a convoy instead of relying on their stellar driving skills. I would say the AI is there to augment things, just don't rely on them.

Well I can't get it any higher than 3 with out upping the war level and I can't do that unless I take over an outpost or something which is kind of hard to do when you are solo.
