AI's use of SUs and HQ placements

The AI is unable to keep HQs in proximity to the subordinate CUs. Therefore there are barely any SU commitments.
Why not just remove the "5-Hex range"-rule and the "30MP max"-rule for the distance of SUs comitted into battles when player is set to be AI?

It's almost like the Ai code (for Axis, while having the Initiative) would say:
"do not be in 5 Hex range" while it should say "do"
and/or
"do overstack HQs CP" while it should say "do not".
Russians on the defense/no initiative look way better at "keeping their HQ/CUs together", but are also only in 5Hex range by chance since the priority seems to be to place HQs on top of Depots instead.
Once Russians gain initiative they improve Army placement further and so do the Axis without Initiative, suddenly the HQs and CUs stick together.
Some Axis initiative examples.
