Sorry about that.

There has been an elusive bug where AI sometimes starts barraging pretty random spots on the map. I think in most cases it barrages empty areas, it's the first time I've heard of it barraging a teammate directly.

I used to think it's related to planes flying overhead, but it's probably not it. I'll devote extra attention to fixing this asap, but for now I have few ideas which system in particular is malfunctioning and causing the issues.

I was just playing a skirmish with AI Friendly that kept attacking my fortified positions with off map abilities, specifically carpet bombing all my forward repair stations and hmg emplacements. it very frustrating as instead of using these abilities on the enemy positions (teammate AI is losing ground), it keeps destroying my troops and building until we eventually get overrun and lose. I'm honestly not sure whats causing this as I leave paths unobstructed, I don''t over build emplacements, I push my troops and take points, and nothing changes this behaviour from the AI

Not possible

Please how to use this as a turning pack, I want to combine it with cheat mod, many thanks

As far as I know the only vehicles getting stuck problem is related to maps which have very big pathable "pockets". AI receives vehicle commands in a few steps, and if one of the steps leads to a complete dead end, it might fail to drive out of this dead end before getting the same orders reissued and driving straight back into the dead end. There are a few systems to avoid this, but I guess it still isn't bulletproof. Still, as far as I know it would take a really weird map for this to happen. Again, I'd love to see replays, I can probably glean a lot more from viewing it happening than from any description.

You can use discord for more frequent feedback as well. I dunno if I want a ton of feedback going to DMs heh.

There isn't functionality to go towards repair stations, it simply chooses retreat directions sometimes towards areas where there are friendly units as it considers them safer.

There is functionality to stop if AI sees any nearby engineers trying to repair, as far as I know it should work for repair stations, the issue is probably that vehicles drive past before ever getting an update.

Update 2:
Playing the same map I was playing when I said the AI were competently repairing their vehicles, I noticed that as soon as I began building Forward Repair Assemblies as the British the AI would send their damaged vehicles towards them but got stuck.

The AI doesn't seem to have logic to stop moving when within the radius of a FRA. I can sort of see what they're doing, though.. It's like when playing a shooter or something - you just don't stop moving otherwise you're a sitting duck. That's what the vehicles seem to be doing but within the radius of a repair station. However, the FRA does not have the ability to repair vehicles that are moving.

I'll need to try the U.S. with their version of a FRA on territory points to see if that works. If not, I'll try their Mechanized upgrade to make it an aura.

Finally I sent a friend request as to not spam the comments. :P I could also, instead, make a thread.

Update:
Playing another large map and the AI is competently repairing their vehicles. I think it may have been the map I was playing. It was a modded map and the AI vehicles would sometimes get stuck in weird places and just move around. I was going to post yesterday but wanted to test more.

The match I was just playing was also a modded map but behaved fine. About three hours in length and no hiccups.

However, I would like to point out another issue I noticed. Twice so far; first on an official map and second on a modded map. When an HQ building is destroyed, the AI won't repair it. On the official map we got one of the AI bases and they never wound up repairing it. Second was during this current match where they got my ally's HQ (just the HQ) and didn't repair it. I had to.

Still having fun with this mod. :D

I notice that the AI did have a bunch of Engineers, and yeah there's the wall of AT. The match I mentioned in my other post that was two and a half hours, the stalemate? My ally had a ton of AT teams. haha

This match was about an hour and a half and there were still lots of vehicles on both teams. It was a tug of war until my AI didn't have any combat-ready vehicles left and the enemy began winning because they had freshly built tanks. Once I began repairing all my allied tanks we began pushing back lost ground.

Currently, I didn't notice the AI actually stopping in the repair zones. They'd go to them and keep moving around, making it impossible for my FRSs to repair them, since they require the vehicles to be stationary.

The U.S. Mechanized upgrade to turn theirs into auras may work that way but not the British Heavy Armour.

I wouldn't mind checking out replays where these issues occur specifically because right now I really just need to guess.

I suppose I could try to make it more smart about it too, make it actually consider how often vehicles are in need of repairs, not just the amount of armor overall on the field.
