Poll : A-move + unit stances for hijackers ?

Currently, Hijackers can't use the attack move, neither unit stances.

You have to individually maneuver them. Also, you can't make them guard an area (with unit stances), they can't automatically catch a nearby approaching vehicle.

So what do you think ? Do they deserve A-move and unit stances ? Or not ?

Capturing isn't a weapon.

Yes for both, but make their default stance into "HoldFire" instead of the normal stance that all others unit have.

I mostly hope their glitchy behaviour will be fixed. Once that has happened they will become really fun and annoying units.

btw, regarding the "capturing isn't a weapon", in warcraft 2 if you put suicide bombers on patrol, they would use their "suicide" ability and not their weapon on targeted enemies. This was, however, only used when "patrol" was on, not when they were just "guarding". My suggestion is trying to model this behavior from warcraft 2, where this ability can be set to be activated automatically, but it is not the default.

Those guys were terrible. I've modded War2 and hell, you had to micro their attack if you decided to make them a competent fighting unit.

I used to leave them in patrol. If a player sent even two ogres my way, their auto death would still benefit me economically.
