Machineguns on vehicles auto shoot

I think the AI vehicle commander is alive you should beable to set your machinegunners to shoot at enemy targets from your tank or apc or truck or jeep. The machinegunners automatically shoot at enemy when they see them like the plane AI does. Please add!

I dunno why they wouldn’t automatically shoot, it should be a mode just like the passive and aggressive modes for infantry

No. I don’t want AI to give away my position.

Also, I dont want AI to aimbot me through bushes by a tank.

They already do on some vehicles for example gunned APCs do that for example the LVT-4 and on tanks the only one that ik that do that is the nashorn both side MGs shoot at infantry and flankers but the thing you want would be just too Broken imagine try to flank a anoying greyzone Sherman for the 50.cal just to aim at you by It self and kill you things like the T-28 would also be powerfull bot tanks that use It are very anoying already soo imagine It controlled by a player

some tanks hull mgs are usable but really annoying to use like the ba 11 which you have to swap to to use at all if he would fire it on his own that’d be nice

Yes please. This could easily be controlled with the existing passive / aggressive squad behavior command.

ive made a post on the ba 11 as for a premium vehicle its not only weirdly been artificially nerfed with physically impossible things but it’s also missing some armor after the hull mg update i was saddened to learn its mg guy only works when selected directly meaning its mg is borderline useless

If they can shoot, they would shoot, so they should shoot in the game. Agree. This would make driving the APC a slower more strategic drive to the point rather than rally driving it there as quick as possible before the AI get shot without returning fire. Also, while on ‘auto-fire’, I am going to open a poll asking for a ‘fire on position’ command rather than them shooting on sight or not at all (basically always at the wrong time)

Thats what the passive and aggressive commands are for.

Dont they already do this though?

yeah this simply setting the passive behavior for ai would make them only fire if fired upon

Yeah, mine do. But this guys are broken.

Should be able to command them to take cover when fired upon (i.e. hold fire) and to ‘fire on position’ (heavy fire so they fire as frequently as you do)

bots in vehicle guns have rather poor accuracy with tank mgs they wouldn’t be that big of a threat especially if your avoiding the hull mgs line of fire
