1) If you have mechanized infantry going with the waypoints and infantry unloads due to contact, will AI units pick up that infantry (as they do on default) before proceeding further? Or will IFVs just leave infantry behind and dash happily forward?
2) what happens when there are no more waypoints? Will AI proceed to nearest flags as they normally do? If so, is it worth trying to set waypoints to like first half of the map, and then leave it to them?

#1
Generally once unloaded and contact is broken (due to line-of-sight or enemy elimination) APCs/IFVs will go into a cycle of "load infantry" - "unload infantry" and neither will move from the area where they unloaded.
Sometimes they may pick up infantry and proceed to their next waypoint, but don't count on it.
APCs/IFVs that share a formation with infantry will not dash forward leaving them behind, but if they are in a separate formation they may.

I generally find it best to plot the last waypoint (or several) near a "final objective" to encourage the AI to advance because sometimes when you use waypoints they just mill around when they reach the area where the last one was plotted.
