Merl destroying itself in vehicle plant

When an enemy is nearby the vehicle plant merl starts firing before it left the plant, the rocket is fired and explodes inside the plant. Merl is destroyed.

what I mean that the merl gets into combat mode before it left the yard, that way it starts firing away

Vehicles tend to get stuck in factories, espescially if your waypoint is north of them. This definitely needs to be addressed as well.

I will say it one more time.
It has nothing to do with vehicles getting stuck. Its happening the moment the merl is driving out of the plant. If at that exact moment an enemy is inside the merls range it starts firing. Since the rocket leaves the merl before the merl left the plant it explodes inside the plant, killing the merl.

Right, but MERLS killing themselves in the factory is just a symptom of a larger problem. The larger problem is that units who are given orders in the factory will not queue those orders after the "leave factory with fire state temporarily set to hold fire" command. This gives rise to a whole host of undesireable behaviours, including MERLS blowing themselves up, and units getting stuck in factories.
Somebody with 1007 developer skillz fix this for us poor pleebs?

if you control a merl and fire right away the missile will launch before the bay is opened and it is raised casuing it to explode within the launch bay.... well, probably not exactly like that, but whatever...
