AI and stationary MG

In the parch notes for launching merge there is a following nore:

  • AI soldiers can now use stationary machine guns. If a friendly player stands close, the AI soldier will leave the machine gun.

How does that work? Are bots supposed to automaticly grab MG if near one? Because I can’t figure how to order them to use them (they will dismantle). Or is it just a false patch note?

you just order your bots around it,

and you need to do something else because if you are in proximity, they will jump off from the gun to allow players to use it.

but by default, they will use the machineguns automatically if they are near by.

I can’t get it work, I’ve tried in like 5 games buidling MG nest (both the regular and heavy mg versions), ordering bots to hold position and then I’ve been observing them from distance and they would be shoting rifles at the enemy even when enemy was in direct line of sight of the MG right next to them. There were also no friendly troops nearby.

Been wondering bout it myself. Yet to see them do anything

Anyone out there for whom this works? My soldiers never use my stationary MGs.
