- Combat mode can only be changed via scripting/waypoints - not by player radio commands for an AI group.
- "Engage at will" means AI can form subgroups and break off to engage known or assigned enemies. These AI will then act largely on their own.
- As player one can use the "engage at will" radio command to achieve the same/similar behavior. However this will not change the unit's combat mode. Yet one can override the "keep/loose formation" status of combat mode with radio commands.
- "Never fire" means AI will actually never fire. Whereas under "Hold fire", AI will shoot back if getting fired upon, hostiles get too close, or they get a target explicitly assigned by the (sub)group leader.
- As player one can override the fire status with radio commands ("Hold fire", "Open fire", "Fire"). However this will not change the unit's combat mode.
- "Never fire"/combat mode blue cannot be overridden by group leader target assignment. One needs to command "Open fire" or switch to a different combat mode (with "Hold fire") to be able to do so.
- Applying combat mode blue, clears the attack target commands from AI subgroups. Might be useful in combination with doFollow/commandFollow. Note: It will not effect assignedTargets.
