inf assault

[Koh]

What I'd like to know is the rationale behind the infantry squad dismounting before the vehicle is assaulted. This does not seem consistent with their behaviour whenever their vehicle is fired upon at other times.

For normal purposes i.e greater range if the transport survives the shot its up to you the player to decide the course of action, stay on board or bail.
At close range take it as they either see it coming & bail just before its assulted or try getting out while its in progress. Probably represents more the second despite the mechanics.
Do not take as correct but I have definetly had infantry unload remain relativly intact & had an assualt aborted message or something like. I think sequence of events is
Squad unloads assulting unit fires at squad, if it can squad fires back then if still able the unit assualts.
Try running up against a crew or unit that used its full movement last go the attacker might take casulties.

Good enough for me. Kinda explains why they pretty much always get torn to shreds, too.
