I design some of these units in Dirtside 2 for various 'nationalities' 
but since no one has used them as designed (I've never run them) in any
of my games...	I would suspect usually by the time the position is
assaulted (advance multiple times, half advance, dismount and half
assault move infantry) the situation is pretty clearly	hopeless for the
defenders (the attackers usually lose enough vehicles in closing to be
so
under strength that it fails before dismounting.)  If you can advance
under fire enough times to arrive intact you probably have other
advantages making the defense untenable.

Gracias,
Glenn
