More than one Research Prerequisite

Does anyone know how well or not the AI performs when there is more than 1 research prerequisite for a subformation? For example, if I create a machine gun called a Mk II and require both Fighter I and MG II in order to produce Fighter II, will that work for the AI or will it cause problems?

it should work I dont do much in that regards but GD1938 which I play has several research stuff that require more than one field to produce, you can research without the prerequisites usually you just can't build any until you do all research.

If I recall correctly, and I am not deep into the code, so this is from comments I've heard about how the AI does its research choices, it won't really work, unless there is something (an item) for it to gain out of a research each time. That is a research must have something that it will gain from it, or it will not research it.
Ormand or Vic might be able to expand more on this.

OK. Thanks for the reply. If that's the case, then I might be able to do what I want if I tie lower tier items such as "engines" "weapons" etc. to actual units. The lower tier research will then unlock more sophisticated weapons as they are researched by the AI for the units they offer.
I'm also working on creating some new graphics. I created my own forest sprites recently.
