I have a modded mission where AI either don't shoot at each other, or shoot so infrequently that combat practically never resolves.
I have modified The AI somewhat (code below):
I have a mod that exemplifies the issue: https://github.com/da-ding/wacky-reforger-royale, with dependency https://github.com/da-ding/reforger-shared-utils, containing the following changes.
2 levels of custom prefab for AI:

}US version similarly constructed.
In the workbench, create a scenario with these groups and place them together. In GameMaster mode, fly a few hundred metres away. Watch the "battle" for a while. Move in closer, at some point they should suddenly start shooting, and one team will all die after not too long.
I briefly tested this in GM mode, but couldn't replicate it in the same way that I can in my scenario.
I tested this with DangerEventRange and LOD distance as a few values (much smaller, much larger), and I didn't notice change in either, but it's probably worth double checking just in case.
