Default Re: Getting the AI to use APCs/MICVs?

The AI's choices of what units to buy are determined my what's known as a "Pick List".

A "Pick List" is a list of all (or at least most) the formations available to a specific nations OOB on a given date. Each formation is given a % chance that it may be selected. This is further modified by the availability code (the x0 to x3 radio code). And also by the number of points available for a given battle.

At 6 to 8K the AI can only afford a couple tank platoons, some SAMs, and a few mortars. By the time it's purchased this stuff it doesn't have enough points left for mech (APC/IFV) infantry so it buys dismounted.

If you want the AI to buy Mech infantry you need to be in the 10-15K+ range.
