For 2 your unit is merely giving its reaction shot to enemy units that are moving too close. Your units will only retreat when it's morale goes into the negative Let's see. I want to shoot my 7.92mm machine gun at a tank armed with a 122mm cannon, calling attention to myself and dying in a fireball...

I know that. But why would a tank destroyer expose its vulnerable side to a tank in order to shoot at an infantry squad. That is the problem. Don't engage lower priority targets and expose yourself to a threat.

Was playing a skirmish this afternoon and had the AI do some very stupid things with my units during the reaction phase. 1. Had a Jagdpanther face to face with a JS-2. Enemy AI moved an infantry squad on one side and the Jagdpanther turned to fire at the squad and subsequently took a hit from the JS...

First shot kills for the AI artillery seem to be the norm. Heck, they even do a good job targeting my units that out of LOS of any enemy unit.

So, is there a patch for this coming anytime soon? This is probably one of the most frustrating issues with BA2. When a single Su-76 can destroy an AT gun that has fired once from a heavy fortification (80% cover rating, 4x fortify bonus), something is out of whack.

I was just going to post that it did that. Thanks for the quick response.

Playing BA 2.50 on the iPad. Second Metz scenario, Crossing the Moselle has a victory condition of killing 20 enemy units by turn 10. I kill 23 units by turn 10 and then, when I get to turn 11, the status of that objective changes from 23/20 to FAILED. Very frustrating...
