Corect, but only if they have a target in range and LOS.

Keep them at maximum range, and behind cover. It is very difficult to shoot
at a pop-up WE that is behind cover since they need never expose themselves
to anything but other WE's. The only thing that should be able to shoot
at you is long range artillary. Concentrate on silencing this, or forcing
it to lend its attentions elsewhere.
