Counter Battery Question

Post by shortty »

I think I'm missing something about counter battery fire. I create a test scenerio with 1 infantry and 1 artillery unit on each side. I attack one infantry unit with the other. Both artillery units are well within range of the combat and one supports the attack and the other supports the defense as expected. Both artillery units are within range of each other but in no case will they attack each other with counter battery fire. I thought that in the past this happened automatically.

Can someone please explain to me how counter battery fire works?

Note: In my scenerio proficiency, comms level and electronic warfare level are 100%. The artillery units are not stacked with anyone else so I'm not hitting the bug where counter battery fire only happens with the top unit.

Counterbattery only occurs when the defender is an artillery unit, and is being bombarded (not assaulted).
