Hi Andy
Yes it certainly is good that the AI targets passengers. However I dont think the casualties from such shooting are high enough.
I did a test
12 cromwells have 12 10 man infantry squads mounted as pasengers. There is a single MG42 150m behind each tank so there is no cover provided by the turret. Nobody is moving.

in all 12 cases cases only 1 casualty resulted before dismount.

I agree with adrian that at least half if not all the squad should have got hit.
Best regards Chuck

Hi
Just bringing this one to the surface again as Im not sure the content was noticed,
Any comment on the lack of casualties demonstated by my test? or is the "people pate" perhaps to remain potential?
Best Chuck

Have you tried the test with something other than well trained British infantry; home guard or one of those nations known to be economical and/or inefficient with their training?

Good point Even
I ran the same test but with italian fantera mounted I think they have pretty low morale and experience.
Same result, couple of squads took no casualties.
seems the potential may remain unrealised.
Best Chuck.
