• In KOTH mode, Bots are now
  
  • More likely to roam around and hunt enemies if there is lots of time left
    
  • Become more likely to push for the point as time runs down, or their teammates start to capture it
    
• Medic bots now
  
  • Opportunistically "overheal" nearby friends when they can
    
  • Prioritize healing of injured nearby friends more
    
  • Don't focus on Heavies quite so exclusively
    
  • Don't spam their Medigun continuously at round start

• Various improvements to combat behaviors
  
• General bot improvements
  
  • They no longer stand still on the point when capturing or defending it
    
  • They choose more varied routes now
    
  • They choose better defensive spots around captured points
    
  • They fall back to another weapon when they entirely run out of ammo
    
  • They adjust their FOV when using zoomed in sniper scope
    
  • They treat in-range Sentries as the most dangerous threat
    
  • They fire their weapons is more realistic bursts
    
  • Engineers use their shotgun properly
    
• Added a "virtual mousepad" concept to rework how bots track enemy players

  • After rotating beyond a maximum angle, they will pause for a fraction of a second to re-center their "virtual mouse"
    
  • Allows for over/undershoot "slop" in aiming. Looks more natural, and allows skilled players to dodge
    
  • Addresses the "180 spin around and fire", "Heavy bot is OP", "Sniper is OP", and "I can't fight a Heavy bot as a Scout" issues
    
• Tuned Sniper spot finding algorithm to generate more diverse locations, partially addressing the "Predictable Sniper camping spots" issue
  
• Soldier bots are more careful to not fire rockets that will explode on nearby geometry and kill them
  
• Fixed a bug where bots tried to heal from a Dispenser being carried by an Engineer
  
• Tuned scoreboard logic to guard against malicious server operators spoofing bot pings to hide the "BOT" tag
  
• Added more bot names as suggested by the TF community
