Death clock question

[shrek]

Yeah, the new death clock feature is really cool. It makes sense that there will be a little delay before your troops realize that the vehicle they've been firing at has already been KO'd.

But what about surrendering troops? The second they throw up their hands, everyone automatically stops shooting. I realize that BTS doesn't want to reward war-crime behavior here, but it seems a little unrealistic. Remember the infamous surrender scenes in Saving Private Ryan?

At least in CMBO some troops would get shot after surrendering. Sometimes they were caught in the crossfire and other times it was remaining incoming rounds that were fired before they surrendered. It doesn't happen that often, but it shows that surrendering does not guarantee safety.
