AI not shotting when cannon has artillery and direct fire mode
New, NormalPublic

Description

I created a test cannon with 2 fire mode:

  • direct fire with ballistic computer to shoot on visible vehicle
  • artillery mode to be able to provide support

I can use the cannon with both fire mode with absolutely no problems. Direct fire is working fire, artillery mode is working fine. The problem is when i order an AI to use the cannon, its not doing anything even when i place an ennemy vehicle in front of it. My question is why isn't the AI able to use a cannon with artillery and direct fire mode ? I don't see anything that should prevent that...

I propose an additional logic for AI units so they can be able to use weapons with both direct fire and artillery mode.
