Re: Fixes for the iraqi OOB
And it gets fuzzy when the commander can stay with the vehicle or dismount with the section. The game has no such option to stay/leave.
As far as the game is concerned APC 123 is commanded by leader Bloggs, and the dismounts are commanded by leader Smith. (No Smith if the squad is mounted, and an Y/N to dismount Smith if the team gets out. Who commands if Smith stays with the vehicle?. What if there are >1 dismount teams?. If he dismounts, does the vehicle lose use of weapon slot #3?. etc)
It would be terribly difficult to implement such a mechanism in any meaningful way even for human players to manage, let alone have the poor AI decide what to do.
In OOB design, it is entirely up to the OOB designer to decide whether the element's commander is counted in the vehicle crew total, the dismounts, or both.
Its a company/Battalion level game after all. Micro-details like where exactly Smith is can be left to the first-person view squad level shooter type video games.
