Yeah I'm sure. I've attached a savegame so you can witness the phenomena yourself. First try unloading unit number B2, Merkava MICV. You will trigger around half a dozen opfires. Then reload the saved game and try bailing out that same Merkava MICV. You will trigger no op fires.

That is because "bailing" a crew is
splitting the unit and creating a brand new crew object, which is not the same as the UnloadUnit code to drop pax who are an already extant game object. UnloadUnit has an opfire trigger, SplitUnit itself does not. (That bit of code to split units was originally hidden debug only code for developer testing, but we exposed it as a useful end user function)
Manually splitting a unit now has a subsequent call to the opfire trigger code called on the newly-generated crew unit (both games). Not added to the unit destruction code - as the firer was targeting the vehicle and the generation of a crew is an unintended by-product.
