The AI (It's been my only opponent for almost 15yrs.) in the same situation as described will try to push it's Recon, Mech Troops, with Tank support forward, it does understand and is focused on the "
ATTACK". That being said it also understands "
Covering Fire" I will promise you if you persistent in your attack (Regardless of unit type.) the AI WILL assign resources to take out that unit and I have seen this MANY TIMES where It'll be Air, Arty, Armor and Infantry making the "push" against a position. If it has them, it really likes to get snipers in against infantry targets (To of course include ATGW teams.). The AI doesn't seem to necessarily seek to destroy a target all the time either, it is quite content to suppress or cause that unit to retreat in some manner and move most of those assets along to the next issue or objective. It's just what I've seen. The AI could be better I suppose, however, if you
really watch how it functions over time you'll see it's not as "dumb" as a lot of people think it is. It'll still throw a "curve ball" at you once in awhile just to keep you honest.
