| + | The ground AI in Sector Control | ||
| - | <text type=" | + | TACTICS which is a Moose class developed by [BSD] Statua that adds autonomous behavior to the AI. They will spot and attack targets, support each other when taking hits, retreat after taking losses, and abandon vehicles when severely damaged. Mechanized Infantry will deploy and pick up troops to attack targets. |

| - | <text type=" | + | Ground Commander is the AI dispatcher. It constantly monitors the objectives and friendly forces. It assigns attack or defend roles to groups and balances these roles as groups are lost. It coordinates attacks onto objectives and ensures backline objectives that are lost are recaptured. |

| + | ==BEHAVIOR: SPOT & ATTACK== | ||
| + | ### | ||
| + | When traveling or holding a defensive position, ground groups are constantly scanning their surroundings for enemy. If they spot an enemy, they will move into a RED state and advance on the target in a combat formation. If they are far away, they will drive quickly in a DIAMOND formation. If they are closer, they will shift to LINE and slow down. | ||

| - | * BTR-82A | + | When a group receives fire, they will call for any friendlies nearby who are not preoccupied to help them. If the called group is available, they will maneuver to defend the requesting group and counter the attack. Up to 3 friendly groups can respond to a single support request. |

| - | * BMP-3 | + | \\ |
| - | + | ==BEHAVIOR: RETREATING== | |
| - | <text type=" | + | ### |
| - | * Merkava IV | + | If a group is down to the last vehicle remaining, it will not stick around to die. The group will retreat to whatever base it came from to get out of the fight. If you see vehicles flying down the road running away from the fight, this is why. For enemies fleeing the fight, it is recommended you let them live to save on ordinance and ammunition. It might even prolong their respawn time! |

| - | + | ### | |
| - | <text type=" | + | When a vehicle has taken too much damage to be effective in the fight, the crew will abandon it. If there are operational vehicles left in the group, they will board those vehicles. Otherwise, they will find a place to hide and wait for a recovery vehicle to pick them up. The abandoned vehicle becomes a static object, incapable of doing anything. |
| - | + | ### | |
| - | <text type=" | + | \\ |
| + | ==BEHAVIOR: REARMING== | ||
| + | ### | ||
| + | When a vehicle in the group dips below the minimum ammunition levels, they will request rearming. For Blue force, this means they will place a map marker and wait for a friendly helo to bring them ammo, or the slower option of a ground rearming convoy. For Red force, a resupply group will be dispatched to handle the request. | ||

They will attack or defend similar to the armor groups, however will also deploy troops at objectives that do not have any friendly infantry to hold the ground. When a mechanized infantry group gets close to its target or meets contact, they will deploy troops and advance with them to engage. Deployed infantry are typically equipped with small arms and RPGs. | ||

If they are far away, they will move to the location they spotted the helicopter. Once they get close enough, they will stop for better attack accuracy. Some Mobile ADS groups are tougher than others. |

| + | ===HOW DO I HELP?=== | ||
| + | ### | ||
| + | With such a dynamic battlefield, there are many ways you can help. The simplest way to help is to stay around frontline friendlies and support them with their attacks, giving them the upper hand in battles. If you prefer the transport side of things, deploying and relocating infantry and specialists in the battlefield to strategic positions can make a difference. Deploying depots and FARPs beyond the main base side of the AO can also be a great benefit to friendlies. If you prefer recon and an artillery battery has been deployed, you can use the firemission script to call in a barrage of shells on the enemy, eliminating entire battalions without firing a single weapon of your own. | ||
