There is an issue with AI threat evaluation and target selection. AI bots holding small arms/sidearms (specifically tested with the Makarov PM pistol) actively open fire at heavily armored vehicles like the BTR, which they have no chance of penetrating or damaging.
This behavior ruins stealth, needlessly reveals the AI's position to enemies, and wastes limited ammunition on invulnerable targets.
Steps to Reproduce:
Place an AI soldier equipped with a Makarov PM (or other low-caliber sidearm).
Introduce an enemy BTR (armored personnel carrier) into the AI's field of view / line of sight.
Observe the AI opening fire at the armored vehicle with their pistol.
Expected Result: AI should recognize that their current weapon cannot penetrate heavy armor and refrain from shooting. They should either seek cover, remain stealthy, or switch to anti-vehicle ordnance (if available).
Actual Result: AI engages the heavily armored vehicle with a small-caliber pistol, giving away their position and wasting ammo.
