Convoy issue with Husky (Bug?)
I have a convoy led by an MRAP and followed by a Husky and a Buffalo. The convoy ended it's turn on a bend in the road, with the MRAP on the first tile of the bend.

The following turn I issued an order to the convoy and the MRAP promptly ran over an IED. I reloaded to check what happened, and it turns out that as the convoy starts to move, the Husky, which is on the previous road, does a little turning animation and as a result the MRAP moves ahead, outside of the Huksy's clearance range.

I'm pretty sure this isn't intended behaviour.

I think it has always been 'either/or' for balance reasons. You either make the Husky your lead vehicle to clear IEDs but risk enemy ambushes; or you make MRAP your lead and risk IEDs.

While the Husky detection radius is indeed 2 tiles, placing it second in the formation will not clear IEDs in front of the leader. This begs the question as to why the Husky was given a 2-tile radius in the first place.

I'm not sure I was clear enough.

The husky works perfectly fine for me as second in the convoy. It clears mines in front of the lead MRAP with no issues. The issue is when the convoy ends its turns on a bend in the road.
