no, I figured out the reason, its because you drop focus when you enter a vehicle, and my leader macros are like

/target Mcenvy
/target Msenvy
/target Seoyong
/target Heji
/target Mcenvi
/target Niftykin
/focus
/follow
/assist
with all my character names in the macro for each account, which makes switching teams really easy, but burns the vehicle following ><

anyone have a good workaround for this?

do macros like:

/focus Mcwrathy
/focus Mcwrathi
/focus Mkwrathi
etc etc work?
