First of all - this is based on one scenario experience of tank riders, but I still want to bring this up.
What struck me as strange is that i had 4 assault guns approaching me, all fully loaded with tank riders. I managed to spot them first with my tanks and hit them over and over again until they were knocked out. It took 3-4 hits each. The strange thing was that the tank riders just sat there waiting to get killed. Wouldn't it be more realistic for them to bugger out of there as soon as the first shell hits and they start dying? Granted they were out in the open, but still. Those assault guns were death traps.
What are your experiences with how the AI handles this kind of situation?
