Wits still gives you a critical chance. It is a bad attribute as such, unlike in the EA, I concur. But it was too easy to destroy the AI in the EA because you could go first with the whole party. Any boss was dead the first turn without doing anything (except Radeka, the bi..., uhm, witch). Maybe that's the reason they changed it.

As to Battletech, I'm not sure about what "teams acting as a whole" you speak. Maybe we are talking about different games? In the Battletech I mean (from HBS) the AI (or enemy player in PvP) and you act in alternating order, one AI Mech, one of yours. It's actually more complicated because there are tiers of the move order and you can reserve your moves to a certain degree, but that's not the place to discuss it here.
