Anyone know what decides which six dudes fire out and which sit in the hull twiddling their thumbs?

I believe that their fire based on target priority. Things with higher target priority get dibs (piats vs tanks, brens vs inf, rather than rifles firing at anything or tanks or w/e).

EDIT - To be specific, imagine this.

Bren squad contains brens and lee enfield, piat sappers contains piats and lee enfield.

The lee enfields have a priority of 80 vs infantry wheras the brens have 85, therefore the brens get priority while firing against infantry.

PIATs have more priority (105) against tanks than any of those other weapons have against any other target, therefore if there is a tank the PIATs will be firing at it, overriding any other target.

Correct. It works the same way as infantry firing out of buildings.

On a related note, since airborne, weapon crews and sergeants hate motorcycles, the motorcycle is always the first thing to be shot at by the M1 Carbine...overriding things that would make more sense. It overrides other high priority targets such as snipers counter sniping, bazookas shooting at tanks, and even MG's shooting at infantry. Therefore, a bike and a blob of infantry charging a building with 2 windows from 1 side will cause an HMG squad to fire its 2 M1 Carbines at the bike, with the HMG sitting inactive. Targeting priority is fun!

Edit: RR's and bazookas have a priority of 90 vs most armour, whereas PIATs have 105, thus PIATS will take priority over American manpacked AT.

Another Edit: It is also important to note that when two targets of equal priority are within a weapon's range, it will fire on the one with lower health. This is most relevant to AT pieces firing at multiple tanks.

I was fairly certain it fired on the one that was closer...

But you can manually tell the squad what target to engage right?
