I think thats what they were really there for in that encounter, was playing last night and i realised a Thresher was no longer targeting the team at all.
Then I look to the side and the Caballin' Squadron was just unloading on to it.
I know the A.I can be annoying on both friendly and enemy side but its actually enjoyable having allies fight alongside you in average playlists.
It's occured before in the past, i know but nevertheless, its nice to see some friendlies on ground fighting with you.
