I understand there are some 1.13 features that the AI is not able to utilize. Yes, the AI can't side step or peek around corners. And yes they can't utilize every single slot in the new inventory system like a human player can. However...there are some MAJOR AI 1.13 features that can't be used by human players, for example: tanks and jeeps on patrols, endless helicopters dropping elite teams in sectors, Generals buffing movement for all of the Queen's soldiers. Those are MAJOR advantages the AI has over human players.
The whole purpose of 1.13 is to place more emphasis on tactics (battle maneuvers) for human players, and place more emphasis on strategic resources for the Queen.
In other words, 1.13 gives us better equipment options and maneuvers in the game, but the Queen gets Generals that buff army response times, and gets endless tanks, jeeps and helicopters that move all around the map.
So no, the changes in 1.13 do NOT benefit the player more than the Queen. There is a tradeoff, and its more balanced than Vanilla, especially the gun attachment overhaul...The ability to use a sniper scope on every Vanilla JA2 gun is too imbalanced and broken.
