AI Gun won't fire at enemy.

Post by conboy »

I have an M1 75 US gun under AI control that just moves around from square to square behind the infantry while the infantry it's backing up gets made into creamed corn. The other guns on AI control (US guns anyway) are also reluctant to keep up a steady rate of fire but this one hasn't busted even one cap. German guns keep up a frantic fire as soon as a target is spotted in range.

Sort of a static situation tactically, but a little indirect 75mm fire would alter that. It's been 6 or 7 turns and no salvos from gun yet. The hexes are are in open terrain. Also seems to be reluctant to get on the truck and move with the rest of the column on open terrain paved roads.

any advice?

The only reason for artilery not to fire is when they don't see a valid target. within range. Either it sees nothing OR the targets are not enemies. You mentioned AI control... check the Alliance first. I also had problems trying a scenario where I had AI allies.. If we are in the same group, we share vision and supply. If not we are practically enemies

Had something to do with AI control. Saw targets but wouldnt shoot. Changed over to human and of course it works fine. Musta been holding my lips wrong again...
