We have noticed that artillery units don't react during next enemy turn, if moved during his own turn.

For example, you move a Maxim, logically, you can't make fire once moved, but then, the enemy turn starts, and the Maxim doesn't reaction fire at all.

the clue is in FUNCTION CHECK_UNIT_FIREAP or FIREHE
if( ( IsUnitSquadType(me, "Artillery") == 1 ) && ( GetAttrib(me, "moved") != 0 ) )
{
// nothing done here
}

This makes the AT and others guns very unusefull.

It doesn't seems a "by design" decision, or maybe yes, can you give us some light?

Absolutely by design. Basically the time to set them back up means they aren't ready for use until your next turn.

This seems logical for a 88mm, for example, but for a german_mg42 or similar?

Maybe the problem is to consider these MGs as artillery.

Not my area, but I would imagine that it assumes that to gain the effectiveness that they get they need to be correctly set up and emplaced. While we don't have a fixed turn length, I think it would be of the order of a few mins or so, so not enough time to break down, move, and then re-emplace even a medium machinegun.

You can of course change it in your campaigns
