Are there any foot soldiers in this game?

Me personally I do not want to shoot at pixel soldiers. That's barely a challenge. But no problem with killing one when taking out a gun or else.

However a feature in IL2.1 that I really appreciated and would like to have it implemented in IL2.2 was the people running for cover whenever one shot a convoy (existed single player only if I remember well). This added a lot of immersion to the game.
