These M1A1s have engaged two SPartillery units and one Inf unit, but in these several turns, they were only firing 7.62mm MG(only 1or 2 rounds of 120mm ammo during more than 1 hour), even though they had adequate main gun ammo and good LOS.
There are the save files of the beginning and end of all these things. (end with I lost patience to deal with these odd M1A1s)

I will check the save game tomorrow. What game version are you using?

game version is 2.1.3.7735 public beta (on Steam)

Thanks for the info.

Tanks seem to fire MG in most cases very conservatively it would seem.

In this case the target is towed D-30 guns with trucks. Both unarmored and the tanks are using their MGs to engage as AP and HEAT rounds are not effective on these targets. If they had HE rounds or cannister/beehive rounds, they would shoot those. I am entering a JIRA for the arty guns to either shoot more at the tanks with direct fire ammo or scoot and not do fire missions.

Many thanks! indeed I missed some details of the unit

US tanks typically did not carry HE rounds. HEAT rounds were used to engage some soft targets or structures. APERS rounds like cannsister and beehive were issued in Korea I believe. I have edited out HE ammo from ALL US tanks in game to show this.
