AI doesn't call supports (using the SUPPORTS waypoint)
New, NormalPublic

Description

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Waypoints#Support

The documentation for the Support waypoint mentions that AI should be able to call for support from the units that are currently in a support waypoint:

AI leaders also tend to request that every single appropriate support group attends them. AI will not take a support group's vulnerability into consideration when requesting support.

This doesn't work. For example crews of damaged vehicles do not call an available repair truck.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Placed a NATO repair truck, set its waypoint to support.
  2. Placed a NATO tank nearby
  3. Placed a Rhino MGS, play as its gunner
  4. Shot the tank with a couple of armor piercing rounds at its tracks, causing the crew to disembark
  5. The support truck doesn't move
  6. I go to the tank, enter it and call the support myself - the truck arrives and repairs the tank, no problem.

Example mission is attached.
