Escaping Raiders easily killed

Recently I had a couple of fleeing raiders try to escape by breaking through doors in my exterior walls. I simply sent a gunner close to them and picked them both off, similar to shooting fish in a barrel. A better reaction would be for raiders to attack or flee if trapped/shot at as opposed to just banging on doors while being shot at. I'll admit it was satisfying though  ;D

In my opinion and based on my own experience in most of the case raiders have more chance to flee and stay alive by breaking doors, even under a rain of bullet than by fleeing probably to a dead end.
Attack is not a good idea too because they are supposed to flee, no more to fight.

Furthermore, your post is more a suggestion than a bug, isn't it ?

I will never do worse than what I do now.
It's what self-improvement means.

In battles back in the days, most casualties happened when an army routed.
If anything, you should commend the devs for making it realistic.

Okay, in some cases the AI can make suboptimal decisions like this. However fixing it would be too complicated. Anyway, I think it's not a real bug, but a suggestion. Thanks for reporting anyway.
