Bots are such wet noodles

FEEDBACK / SUGGESTION

Folks, I just came back from a Solo Bot D10. I full-cleared, dying only three times with the following loadout:

Diligence CS, Peacemaker, Frag Grenades, B0-1 Tac armor, Rocket Pods, OPS, Gas, and EATs. (Basically a Designated Marksman roleplay loadout).

Let me tell you folks - I was not playing great. I was whiffing most shots with the diligence, I was diving off of ledges and ragdolling in front of enemies, I basically failed to use my rocketpods for the first half of the mission.

How did I then succeed? Because Bots *can't hit anything*. They hit nothing. They are almost certainly the easiest faction in the game once you've got a bit of sense in how to deal with them (aka: take cover) because their lethality is entirely absent if you remove their accuracy.

If I sprint laterally about five meters infront of any bot, I just don't get hit. I was spending too long lining up (as in, not suppressing) shots with the DCS on devastators, but I was hardly ever punished for it - they just miss. Even when I'm being ragdolled at the feet of two or three conflagration devastators, they just miss, I get back up and I run away.

I understand people's complaints back in the old days was that Devastators would be extremely accurate at range, but there has got to be some in-between here, because the way I was playing? I should not be winning solo D10s with reinforcements to spare.
