As discussed in Discord channel, I understand in CW era the ATGM gunner was trained and instructed to reserve ATGM for high value targets (aka tanks). But in FCSS this is not followed universally. ATGM helicopter like Bo-105 refused to use ATGM on soft skin trucks but an infantry ATGM team or an ATGM tank destroyer has no problem to spend ATGM on trucks
Here is the promised save file, this was played under 6839 public beta
I also used 6819 official version to build a test scenarioI played "Lesson of war" during the weekend. Setup ambush zone along the main road took by Soviet AI. Later the Marder plt sneak into Soviets rear. The inf Milan team had a happy hunting time to destroy the HQ and the towed 120mm mortar, but quickly depleted their ammunition. Which causing some problem later. Because after Sov occupied the 750VP in the west sector, a full strength BMP-2 co. came back to the 1000vp. At the same time the 2S3 show up. Marder IFV refuse to use ATGM on these targets, so the BMP-2 co plus the 2S3 (engaged in direct fire) heavily damaged two Marder plts.
A Sov towed 122mm guns battery, a towed 120mm mtr and a HQ move deliberate to NATO position. NATO has a Bo-105, a German Mech Inf plt ( with 3 Milan) and a M901A hold the position.
As you can see the Bo-105 will refuse to fire on the truck, it will fire at the HQ, however as soon as the two BMP commander vehicle destroyed it will refuse to fire toward the rest of the truck fleet.
M901A and Milan team had no problem to use ATGM to engage the HQ and towed artillery troops. Thx
