We all know that if you fire on an enemy halftrack/truck/tank the AI will drop the troops/weapons it may be carrying right then and there - I can accept this (even though it's annoying). But it's really starting to bother me (particularly with MCNA where I often spot the enemy at a long distance) that even if I get opportunity fire on a transport vehicle and decline the opportunity the cargo will usually bail out anyway!! <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> (which, with the AI, means the trucks will immediately retreat) Do these guys have ESP?

Hello Mao. Maybe we can assume that the truck realizes it has been spotted and is a potential target so the troops bail and the truck high-tails it outta there.

Perhaps the Ai is programed to response to the 'spotted '*' asterisk' If you are playing with it on, I suspect that a lot of players will dismount to make a more cautious approach on foot when it appears, so why not have the computer AI coded to do the same thing?
If that is the case, does the computer ignor it as well if you turn off the 'sopped *'?
